Discord.py: 'Overwrites' got an unexpected keyword argument 'deny_new'/'allow_new'

[XuaTheGrate]

Summary

Discord pushed a new change that changes the overwrites object.

However, after testing a bit, it seems to be completely random when it happens. This seems to no longer hold true.

Reproduction Steps

while True:
  await bot.fetch_channel(any_text_channel.id)

The while True is just to make sure the error appears, as it is random when it appears.

Expected Results

For an error to not occur while I'm executing this function.

Actual Results

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xua/abyss/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 1376, in fetch_channel
    channel = factory(guild=guild, state=self._connection, data=data)

I have same issue with await channel.clone().
This issue is very critical. Can you fix it as soon as possible?

[leElvyn]

So, how do I fix this ?

[bijij]

Update to the most recent version of discord.py

[anventia]

My friend and I just got identical errors on our bots, is there a fix? I already tried updating discord.py.

Edit: The update did not work, did it again and fixed it. 👍

[Lemon-Hacking]

I just got this error, and updating to discord 1.3.4 fixed it.

[RaenonX]

I ran into this issue. The only difference is that the keyword argument at my side is deny_new. Updated to 1.3.4 by checking it via pip show discord.py and re-install the package. The issue still exists.

See https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/5109#issuecomment-662267876

[gogurtenjoyer]

Please add the following line to your bot's code and show the results: print(discord.__version__). Chances are high that you've updated/installed 1.3.4 in some other python environment, but not the one you're running your bot from.

This is the full stacktrace of the error logged (I am running it on IIS, so the only way I know to get the error is log it)

Here is the result of print(discord.__version__)

C:\Users\Administrator>py
Python 3.8.1 (tags/v3.8.1:1b293b6, Dec 18 2019, 23:11:46) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

I am NOT using any virtual environments and this is the only python interpreter on my server.
I found that despite it should not run under the virtual environment, my setting contains error so that it is actually running using my old testing venv.

@RaenonX It's easy to verify that you're running a different version by actually checking the line numbers on the traceback and matching them with the code that is currently pushed to PyPI as 1.3.4. Your traceback says line 271 points to the overwrite object creation but in reality line 271 points to something else entirely:

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/3cdfeb6b4b03ad81185e78740d1a9a00ea7f2b62/discord/abc.py#L271

That's because _fill_overwrite Overwrite creation got moved to line 308 since the fix expanded the line count by a few lines as seen here

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/3cdfeb6b4b03ad81185e78740d1a9a00ea7f2b62/discord/abc.py#L308

So whatever is happening is due to an out of date library version. Best to check out why it's happening but this issue tracker is not the place for that.

[RaenonX]

@Rapptz Thanks for pointing out that. Gonna see why is this happening.

[dannymichel]

Please keep us updated. My servers depend on red v2

[XuaTheGrate]

This has been fixed in 1.3.4, please update your discord.py version.
