I'm trying to make a discord bot for a small server. When I try to run this code, I get the error: AttributeError: 'diff_btns' object has no attribute ctx when I try to run my code.

Code:

#Import libraries:
from discord.interactions import Interaction
from discord.ui import Button, View
import discord
import quiz
'''
code to get question:
quiz.get_data(quiz.diff1)
await ctx.respond(quiz.q_output)
'''


bot = discord.Bot()


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

class diff_btns(discord.ui.View):
    
    @discord.ui.button(label="Easy", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback1(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked easy")
        for child in self.children: # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
    
    @discord.ui.button(label="Medium", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback2(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked medium")
        for child in self.children: # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Hard", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback3(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked hard")
        for child in self.children: # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
    

        #Interaction checks:
    async def interaction_check(self, interaction) -> bool:

        if interaction.user != self.ctx.author:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Use /gkquiz to make your own quiz.", ephemeral=True)
            return False
        else:
            return True

#Quiz question:
@bot.command(description="Starts a general knowledge quiz.")
async def quizgk(ctx):

    #Send message
    await ctx.respond("How difficult do you want the questions to be?", view=diff_btns())


bot.run()

The code is meant to send a message with the 3 buttons, then send another message based on which button was pressed. Thanks in advance for any help.

So the problem is that ctx is not defined within the class itself. So, it returns an error. I assume you are trying to make sure that the author is the same author who ran the command. What you can do to achieve this is create a self variable under __init__ and save the author.

Below are some snippets of code explained:

Under the view object:

class diff_btns(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, user):
        super().__init__()  # see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/576169/understanding-python-super-with-init-methods
        self.user = user  # setting the self variable to user to use later

Then instancing the view object:

await ctx.respond("How difficult do you want the questions to be?", view=diff_btns(ctx.author))  # see that you pass ctx.author into the class instance

There is also another error in your code. You use await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self). However, this is improper and creates an error. Instead use: interaction.response.edit_original_response(view=self) This works and it shows the following: final product

Resources:

  1. https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.edit_original_response
  2. https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

Full code:

class diff_btns(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, user):
        super().__init__()
        self.user = user

    @discord.ui.button(label="Easy", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback1(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked easy")
        for child in self.children:  # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True  # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_original_response(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Medium", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback2(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked medium")
        for child in self.children:  # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True  # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_original_response(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Hard", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button_callback3(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You picked hard")
        for child in self.children:  # loop through all the children of the view
            child.disabled = True  # set the button to disabled
        await interaction.response.edit_original_response(view=self)

        # Interaction checks:

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction) -> bool:

        if interaction.user != self.user:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Use /gkquiz to make your own quiz.", ephemeral=True)
            return False
        else:
            return True


# Quiz question:
@bot.command(description="Starts a general knowledge quiz.")
async def quizgk(ctx):
    # Send message
    await ctx.respond("How difficult do you want the questions to be?", view=diff_btns(ctx.author))
