Discord.py: image sending error

[Golden00]

So basically i am trying to use Client.send_file(channel, 'pwned.gif')
and it spits out errors. i change "channel" to a channel name still spits out errors.

I am very new to this so sorry if this is a dumb question

Can you post the error message here.

Please don't...
Join this and read the Channel Info and then ask your questions.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

You haven't defined channel in this context, it has to be a channel object, which you can get through a number of methods, discord.utils.get(), or, if this is in a command of sorts, you can get it from the message that triggers it. (message.channel).

Also, have you defined client as commands.bot() or are you using both client=discord.Client() and bot=commands.bot()? If you are using the former, please do not do this. Just use bot=commands.bot(), bot inherits everything that client has- if client can do it, bot can do it.

it doesnt spit out any errors now but doesnt send a picture ;-;

[Vexs]

Please post the entire line of code this is on. (Alternatively, post the entire bit of code to hastebin/github gist/ghostbin and put that here)

I'm betting you just didn't put an await in front of this- it's a coroutine, so it needs to be awaited.
