[Allowwed]

Summary

Error on changing/reseting nickname.

Reproduction Steps

My nick command used to work fine but I don't know why I am getting this error today.

Minimal Reproducible Code

@commands.command()
async def nick(self, ctx: Context, member: discord.Member, nick: str = None):
    await member.edit(nick=nick)
    await ctx.send("Done!")

Expected Results

I expected it to changed the nickname or remove the nickname without any error.

Actual Results

I get the following error:

However the nickname changes without any issue, but I am not able to send the confirmation message as it stops the command execution.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this error within the v2.3.2 release/tag of discord.py.

I'm using the following code to test:-

Codeblock

import logging

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">>!", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@bot.command()
async def nick(
    ctx: commands.Context, member: discord.Member, nick: str | None = None
) -> None:
    version = discord.version_info
    await ctx.send(f"Version info: {version}")

    await member.edit(nick=nick)  # no return with these parameters
    mem = ctx.guild.get_member(member.id)  # fresh from cache

    await ctx.send(f"Member new nick: {mem.nick}")


bot.run(
    "...",
    log_level=logging.DEBUG,
)

There were no errors output in my console, nor present from what I could see. I got the following debug logging output:-

I also tried on an upwards member in the hierarchy which errored as expected:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

So I'm at a loss for reproducing this error. Could you give more context to this, did you try and change the bot's nickname, someone else in the guild's nickname, and their hierarchical ordering compared to the bot itself within the guild?

I don't get this error on my test bot

[AbstractUmbra]

I can see in your debug logging that your HTTP requests are going to http://localhost:3000/. Are you operating a proxy between discord.py and discord?

[Allowwed]

I found that this error is causing for using https://github.com/twilight-rs/http-proxy and when i don't use it it works fine.

Yeah.

[AbstractUmbra]

Historically we've had issues when users use the Twilight proxy, and it is outside of our scope for assistance. You'll need to raise this with the proxy developers and let them resolve the issue you're experiencing, as discord.py works as intended.

Okay, thank you.

[Rapptz]

For future visitors, the reason why this most likely failed is because the proxy URL did not have an explicit version set. The library assumes v10 of the Discord API, while the default unqualified version is v6. Therefore it manifests into these errors.
