Keep getting "missing 1 required positional argument" but the argument is given

I have a problem with my discord bot. (discord.py)

Here is my code:

@bot.command()
async def mute(ctx):
    muteRole = discord.Guild.get_role(845612659940524032)
    if(message.author.kick_members == True):
        return

    else:
        await ctx.send('You don\'t have the permission for that')

Everything seems right to me. But when I test the command, I always get this error:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: get_role() missing 1 required positional argument: 'role_id'

Can someone help me?

I think you've not quite understood how this works. discord.Guild is a class, not an instance, of which you're calling the function get_role(). Thats where your error comes from. To fix this, use the instance ctx.guild instead.

muteRole = ctx.guild.get_role(845612659940524032)

Also message.author.kick_members won't work here. First of all, because message isn't defined anywhere, use ctx.message instead. Furthermore, ctx.message.author does not have the attribute kick_members, maybe try using the decorator instead

@bot.command()
@has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def mute(ctx):
    muteRole = ctx.guild.get_role(845612659940524032)
