I have a discord bot for dealing with user notes. So the bot basically stores a string as a note in a list inside the database. The notes are user specific. I tried setting ctx.author.id as the value for "_id" field and then checking if the user id of the person using the command is equal to the value of "_id" in any document in the database. But it does not work.
Here is my code for the command:
@client.command()
async def makenotes(ctx, *, args):
try:
if (len(db.NoteBoyNotes.find_one({'_id':ctx.author.id})) == 0):
NotesUpdateDict = {'_id':ctx.author.id, 'notes':[]}
NotesUpdateDict['notes'].append(args)
NBNotes.update(NotesUpdateDict)
x = notesCol.insert_one(NBNotes)
await ctx.send("Ok, Noted")
else:
pass
except:
await ctx.send("Some error occurred")
Can someone help with this? Another thing, I am using motor for asyncio, not pymongo.
EDIT: Here is the error: enter image description here
This answer is from a comment posted by @kpie,
@client.command()
async def makenotes(ctx, *, args):
try:
check = await db.NoteBoyNotes.find_one({'_id':ctx.author.id})
if (check is None):
NotesUpdateDict = {'_id':ctx.author.id, 'notes':[]}
NotesUpdateDict['notes'].append(args)
NBNotes.update(NotesUpdateDict)
x = notesCol.insert_one(NBNotes)
await ctx.send("Ok, Noted")
else:
pass
except:
await ctx.send("Some error occurred")```
Try this:
@client.command()
async def makenotes(ctx, *, args):
try:
check = awaut db.NoteBoyNotes.find_one({'_id':ctx.author.id})
if (len(check) == 0):
NotesUpdateDict = {'_id':ctx.author.id, 'notes':[]}
NotesUpdateDict['notes'].append(args)
NBNotes.update(NotesUpdateDict)
x = notesCol.insert_one(NBNotes)
await ctx.send("Ok, Noted")
else:
pass
except:
await ctx.send("Some error occurred")
You need to await db.NoteBoyNotes.find_one so that you get the returned value instead of the future.
Also I believe find one Returns a single document, or None if no matching document is found. so you check if check is None rather than len().
