Discord.py | add role to someone

Question

I have trouble with making an "add role" command in discord.py. I don\'t know what is wrong; it just doesn\'t work.

@client.command()
@commands.has_         


        

Answer 1

roleVer = 'BOT' #role to add
user = ctx.message.author #user
role = roleVer # change the name from roleVer to role

await ctx.send("""Attempting to Verify {}""".format(user))
try:
    await user.add_roles(discord.utils.get(user.guild.roles, name=role)) #add the role
except Exception as e:
    await ctx.send('There was an error running this command ' + str(e)) #if error
else:
    await ctx.send("""Verified: {}""".format(user)) # no errors, say verified

Answer 2

@client.command()
async def addrole(ctx, member : discord.Member, role : discord.Role):
    await member.add_roles(role)

usage: !addrole [member] [role]

NOTE : the bot can only give roles lower than him !

Answer 3

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def giverole(ctx, user: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
    await user.add_roles(role)
    await ctx.send(f"hey {ctx.author.name}, {user.name} has been giving a role called: {role.name}")

Let me know if it works!

Answer 4

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@commands.has_role("Admin") # This must be exactly the name of the appropriate role
async def addrole(ctx):
    member = ctx.message.author
    role = get(member.server.roles, name="Test")
    await bot.add_roles(member, role)

I think the only real mistake in your code is the lack of pass_context=True in the @bot.command decorator. You may have seen some code without this, but that likely belongs to the experimental "rewrite" branch of discord.py
