I am creating a web dashboard for my discord bot using quart. I have 2 files, bot.py and webserver.py. The bot.py file has the code for my bot and the webserver.py has the code for the web dashboard.
Here is the code of bot.py.
import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands, ipc
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
class BotClass(commands.Bot):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.ipc = ipc.Server(self, secret_key="Hercules")
async def on_ready(self):
"""Called upon the bot is ready to use"""
await self.ipc.start() # There were some issues with event loop, so I put the ipc.start() inside the on_ready function which fixed my issue
print("Bot is ready")
async def on_ipc_ready(self):
"""Called upon the ipc server is ready to use"""
print("The ipc server is ready")
async def on_ipc_error(self, endpoint, error):
"""Called upon the endpoint raises an error"""
print(f"{error} was raised by {endpoint}")
bot = BotClass(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
@bot.ipc.route()
async def get_guild_count(data):
guild_count = len(bot.guilds)
return guild_count
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
await ctx.reply("Everything is working perfectly")
if __name__ == "__main__":
bot.run(os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))
And here's the error I am getting from bot.py file.
Traceback (most recent call last):

The ipc server is ready
I know it's telling me to await bot.ipc.start(), but the documentation doesn't tell me to do it. I am confused about this. If I have to await it then I have to put this in an async function, but I am not supposed to do it like this.
Here goes the code of my webserver.py.
from quart import Quart, redirect, url_for
from quart_discord import DiscordOAuth2Session, requires_authorization, Unauthorized
from discord.ext import ipc
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
app = Quart(__name__)
app.secret_key = "Hercules"
ipc_client = ipc.Client(secret_key="Hercules")
app.config["DISCORD_CLIENT_ID"] = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID")
app.config["DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET"] = os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET")
app.config["DISCORD_REDIRECT_URI"] = "http://127.0.0.1:5000/callback"
app.config["DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN"] = os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN")
discord = DiscordOAuth2Session(app)
@app.route("/")
async def index():
guild_count = await ipc_client.request("get_guild_count")
return str(guild_count)
@app.route("/login/")
async def login():
return await discord.create_session()
@app.route("/callback/")
async def callback():
try:
await discord.callback()
except:
return redirect(url_for("login"))
return redirect(url_for("select_server"))
@app.route("/select_server/")
async def select_server():
user = await discord.fetch_user()
return f"{user.name}"
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
And here goes the error that I am getting from webserver.py file.

The other routes of the file is working correctly, I only get the error with the index route. Thank you.
I have fixed my issue, let me explain how did I solve my problem. Actually discord-ext-ipc has stopped maintenance, I am not sure if it was the issue of my problem. But all I did was uninstalled discord.py and discord-ext-ipc. Then I installed nextcord and nextcord-ext-ipc (basically I switched to nextcord). But I was still having the same issue. So later what I did was, just changed the name of my ipc server variable. My code looks like this now,
import os
import discord
from nextcord.ext import commands, ipc
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
class BotClass(commands.Bot):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.ipc_server = ipc.Server(self, secret_key="Hercules")
async def on_ready(self):
"""Called upon the bot is ready to use"""
print("Bot is ready")
async def on_ipc_ready(self):
"""Called upon the ipc server is ready to use"""
print("The ipc server is ready")
async def on_ipc_error(self, endpoint, error):
"""Called upon the endpoint raises an error"""
print(f"{error} was raised by {endpoint}")
bot = BotClass(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
@bot.ipc_server.route()
async def get_guild_count(data):
guild_count = len(bot.guilds)
return guild_count
@bot.ipc_server.route()
async def get_guild_ids(data):
guild_ids = [int(guild.id) for guild in bot.guilds]
return guild_ids
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
await ctx.reply("Everything is working perfectly")
if __name__ == "__main__":
bot.ipc_server.start()
bot.run(os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))```
Thank you.
