Discord.py Slash commands don't work in cogs

I am building a discord bot, and want to use slash commands inside cogs, but the commands don't show or work, here is the code


## cog
guild_ids = [858573429787066368, 861507832934563851]

class Slash(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @cog_ext.cog_slash(name="test", guild_ids=guild_ids, description="test")
    async def _test(self, ctx: SlashContext):
        embed = Embed(title="Embed Test")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)


## bot
bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f'{bot.user} has logged in.')
  bot.load_extension('slash_music_cog')

bot.run("bot-token")

After much hassle, I've finally found out how to do it. Your main.py/bot.py should look something like this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'), intents=intents)
slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True)

You need to use sync_commands=True, otherwise the commands don't appear or sync, both in the main module and the cogs.

After working at this issue for myself for way longer than I'd like to admit, I've finally found the culprit:
You have to load your cogs before running the bot.
For some reason, it won't register your commands with discord, if you load the cogs in the on_ready function, so the solution here, is to move your extension-loading code to right before your bot.run("bot-token") statement.

So the finished code should look something like

## cog
guild_ids = [858573429787066368, 861507832934563851]

class Slash(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @cog_ext.cog_slash(name="test", guild_ids=guild_ids, description="test")
    async def _test(self, ctx: SlashContext):
        embed = Embed(title="Embed Test")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)


## bot
bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f'{bot.user} has logged in.')


bot.load_extension('slash_music_cog')
bot.run("bot-token")

You'll need to slightly modify the bot.py file to initialize a SlashCommand object. Take a look at the library's README for a slightly more detailed example of a bot using cogs.

# bot
from discord_slash import SlashCommand

bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")
slash = SlashCommand(bot)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f'{bot.user} has logged in.')
  bot.load_extension('slash_music_cog')

bot.run("bot-token")
