Can I load a .env file for a module instead of the whole project?

There are some utils for loading .env files, can this support the above? Or do I need to use my own solution here....

Solution:

I see what you mean, I'll change the working directory in the IDEA run configuration

Production instance's caching behaving very differently

So this one is a very odd one for me. I have different parts of my code where caching works fine on my test bot (5 servers) vs my production bot (16k servers). One example is this command where I'm using guild.getMemberOrNull to display a list of users (IDs coming from my DB) into strings with their usernames. The problem is that it takes a long time to resolve the response. I would understand if it took long to resolve once, and then subsequent calls didn't, because they are supposed to be cached (EntitySupplyStrategy.cacheWithCachingRestFallback), but every time, it takes a long time. We have tried to switching strategies for this particular command, like using cache only, and it would result in a lot of users just not being found. Now, recently, I added some channel permission checks to some task I have. And I noticed that since then, the task is taking a long time to complete. Upon checking my logs, I see a bunch of requests to https://discord.com/api/v10/guilds/<guildId>/members/<myBotId>, sometimes even making two calls within the same second (there is another permission check further down the task's execution)...

Solution:

Fixed in Kord: https://github.com/kordlib/kord/commit/2be545a28d7e5cfa1ee2971c2612ae3e0efd334d

ephemeralStringSelectMenu option values

I'm trying to get the value of a selected option in the ephemeralStringSelectMenu from the components builder in the action. is this possible using conventional means? if not, what should be done instead? for reference, I'm trying to dynamically get something from my database with the value from the string select menu, which does not have static options and is also dynamically made...

Solution:

oh it's selected

ConcurrentModificationException errors

So today I finally released by bot to production, which was scary because it meant going from 3 servers to 16k servers... so of course I expected errors. This error is popping up on various places on my bot when accessing stuff from Discord. I'm using: defaultStrategy = EntitySupplyStrategy.cacheWithCachingRestFallback....

Solution:

@Galarzaa when https://github.com/kordlib/kord/pull/954 is merged, kord 0.15.0-SNAPSHOT should fix the issue

Sentry DSN not detected

So I was redoing how I start the Sentry extension, to use enableIfDSN instead of doing the null check myself, and I noticed the Sentry extension was failing to initialize, and reverted it and it is still failing. So I don't know if this could have been caused by the latest changes? My bot is unable to start now if a Sentry DSN is set. I put a breakpoint in SentryAdapter.init and I can see that the DSN is available: Then on Sentry.java, line 187, there is a applyOptionsConfiguration function, it takes optionsConfiguration (which still has the settings there) and options, which is empty....

Solution:

I've pushed, should be up in 10-15 mins, hopefully it works

Setting sentry's context

So I recently upgraded to the latest snapshot, and I'm trying to migrate this: ```kotlin sentry?.captureException(e) { setContexts(...

Solution:

See the announcement I just made - I've added two parameters to the capture functions, which should be sufficient

translations not translating

https://github.com/mazziechai/kose-kata/blob/main/src/main/kotlin/cafe/ferret/kosekata/extensions/UtilityExtension.kt see image for result when calling /clear why does this happen? i thought translate pulls from the bundle in the extension? it works elsewhere...

Interactions no longer work after bot restart

Does Kordex support some way to make interactions still work after bot restart, besides using Kord's functions for creating components? More specifically, does Kordex support passing data through button IDs? (we'll likely contribute this functionality if it isn't alread supported)...

Solution:

You should handle the events

Getting all servers a bot is a part of

We've accidentally left the testing server of our bot, and we dunno its ID... Is there a way to get all servers a bot is in?

Solution:

presumably kord.guilds

What user/guild specific data is collected by the Sentry extension?

I'm currently in the process of writing up a privacy policy for a bot and just wanted to know what data is sent to Sentry that I'd need to include in it.

Solution:

Sentry submission data The following sections explain precisely what data Kord Extensions will send to Sentry, assuming you're using the provided default SentryAdapter and not your own custom subtype. Note: Sentry includes a number of options that aid with GDPR (and other privacy law) compliance. It's advisable to look through the settings that Sentry provides, and it's important to anonymise (or delete) Sentry events when the information is no longer needed....

How would I utilize the new InteractionContext type?

I have this code currently: ```kotlin return components { if (references.any() && referencedNotes.isNotEmpty()) { ephemeralStringSelectMenu {...

Solution:

it should probably be InteractionContext<*, *, *, *> right
