System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DiscordBotsList.Api.DiscordBotListApi.GetBotAsync[T](UInt64 id) at DiscordBotsList.Api.AuthDiscordBotListApi.GetMeAsync() at UNO.Program.MainAsync() in C:\Users\pokey\OneDrive\Pulpit\Uno Bot C#\Program.cs:line 40 at UNO.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\pokey\OneDrive\Pulpit\Uno Bot C#\Program.cs:line 14 this is the error I encounter when Running the code can someone help me? This is the entire code however I'm not sure what's causing it:

MasterDroid•2y ago

Program.cs

Angius•2y ago

Well, something was null On like 40 most likely

MasterDroid•2y ago

this is line 40

_dblApi = await discordBotList.GetMeAsync();

_dblApi = await discordBotList.GetMeAsync();

however im confused

Angius•2y ago

discordBotList is null, then

MasterDroid•2y ago

var discordBotList =
                    new AuthDiscordBotListApi(Config.BOT_CLIENT_ID,
                        System
                            .Environment
                            .GetEnvironmentVariable("UnoDblToken"));

var discordBotList =
                    new AuthDiscordBotListApi(Config.BOT_CLIENT_ID,
                        System
                            .Environment
                            .GetEnvironmentVariable("UnoDblToken"));

this is the code for discordBotList, would I put the bot token here or? cause im confused if u check the code I sent above

Angius•2y ago

Idk What do the docs of this particular library say?

MasterDroid•2y ago

Im not sure I wasnt able to find anywhere the issue and its a discord bot so yea

Angius•2y ago

Well, System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UnoDblToken") does attempt to get the token from env variables

MasterDroid•2y ago

hmm

MasterDroid•2y ago

MasterDroid•2y ago

Just not sure tbh where it could be coming from

Angius•2y ago

From... environmental variables

MasterDroid•2y ago

so where do I find the variables?

Angius•2y ago

You can pass them in the launch config Or you can set them globally in your system Or you can set them temporarily for the current terminal session

MasterDroid•2y ago

namespace UNO
{
    public static class Config
    {
        public static bool USE_TOP_GG_API = true;
        public static bool IS_DEBUG = false;
        public static ulong DEBUG_GUILD_ID = ;
        public static ulong BOT_CLIENT_ID = ;
        public static int DISCORD_SHARD_COUNT = 20;
    }
}

namespace UNO
{
    public static class Config
    {
        public static bool USE_TOP_GG_API = true;
        public static bool IS_DEBUG = false;
        public static ulong DEBUG_GUILD_ID = ;
        public static ulong BOT_CLIENT_ID = ;
        public static int DISCORD_SHARD_COUNT = 20;
    }
}

this is all that my config has, so idk whats easier

Angius•2y ago

? What does this have to do with the token

MasterDroid•2y ago

Obviously to start a bot you need to use the discord bot token no?

Angius•2y ago

Or with environmental variables Yeah? And this code takes said token from an environmental variable

MasterDroid•2y ago

ok How can Input the token manually or setup the env variable

Angius•2y ago

If you're asking whether you can place this token somewhere else, then sure

If the PATH, ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_HOME environment variables do not exist, you must create them.
