System Information

latest version of python and discord.py
macOS Catalina

I can't join servers not owned by someone I know

[SebbyLaw]

You've passed None into client.run()

This is not an issue with discord.py.
GitHub issues for this repository should be used to report issues with this library.

For further help specific to using this library, you should join either the official discord.py server or the Discord API server, as the README recommends.

[aneesh223]

where do I pass None?

[Vexs]

client.run("my bot token")
Isn't your actual code.

Again, this question should be asked in the dpy guild.

[aneesh223]

that's in place of my actual bot token (stored in env)

[Gobot1234]

The env is returning None then see #5846 for a similar issue.

[Vexs]

What you're probably doing is
client.run(os.getenv('MjM4NDk0NzU2NTIxMzc3Nzky.CunGFQ.wUILz7z6HoJzVeq6pyHPmVgQgV4')) which won't work.
This is trying to get an environment var named your token.

Not sure how many times I need to say "you should ask this question on the guild"

[aneesh223]

no, I'm doing this
in main.py

token = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
...
client.run(token)

in .env
DISCORD_TOKEN = my bot token

also you exposed a bot token, and I can't join servers not owned by someone I know

[Vexs]

That still only changes the answer slightly. os.getenv returns None if it doesn't have a matching key. Your issue is with environment variables, not discord.py

[aneesh223]

ok, I put token in main.py and now showing this nightmare

[fwrs]

Per #5847 (comment) please limit Github issues usage for reporting issues with discord.py library.

[aneesh223]

I said above that I can't join servers not owned by someone I know

[fwrs]

That's your problem.

[Phxntxm]

Duplicate of #4159

[aneesh223]

oh, I thought you were referring to that fwrs

[aneesh223]

Phxntxm, that one is windows, this one is for macOS

[Phxntxm]

If you read through the comments on that issue, you'd see the link to the solution if it's Mac:
#423 (comment)

[aneesh223]

I don't understand what he's saying (in the other issue)

[aneesh223]

and I'm using python 3.8.5

[TheRockettek]

Basically navigate to your Applications/Python 3.6/ folder (or whatever its called) and double click the Install Certificates.command.

[aneesh223]

k

[aneesh223]

yay it works

[reka7490]

Two years later, I had a similar problem (┬┬﹏┬┬)
I wanted to make a bot for discord with hosting on 'replit', but recently it has stopped running there, although it works fine through a pc. what should I do?

[trevorflahardy]

Don't use replit for hosting a discord bot, and do you have any exceptions unrelated to replit?

[lmaotrigine]

don't necrobump old issues. as said in the comments to the original issue, this issue tracker is not the place for general questions. consider joining the guild or creating a discussion instead.
