Py-cord bot goes online but doesnt respond

I have been trying to make a discord bot but when I put this piece of code tougether the bot turned online but if I use the command there is no response from the bot.

I used the import command from their github

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send(content="Test")
    
bot.run('token')

Thanks.

With the latest Pycord versions (starting from 2.0.0b5 if I recall correctly), they use a Discord gateway version high enough that you have to enable the (privileged) message content intent both on your application's developer site (https://discord.com/developers/applications/YOUR_APPLICATION_ID/bot, but you can also go to https://discord.com/developers/applications and then navigate to your bot page from there) message content intent on the Discord dev page and in your code:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

With this setup, your bot will receive message events with the content and can actually process your commands

Note that once your bot reaches 100 servers, this intent will require you to undergo a whitelisting process by Discord. Until then, you can freely enable the intent to test and build your bot
