How to make group parent / subgroup work with app commands?

[leirn]

I tried to create a set of nested app commands
/test
/test test_cmd
/test test2
/test test2 test2_cmd

But /test test2 test2_cmd doesn't show up in discord
I am trying to chain the groups by using the parent attribute, but it doesn't work.

Not sure if I am misusing the lib or if it is a bug in 2.0.0alpha

Here is the code I am using:

import asyncio
import discord
from config import BOT_TOKEN
from utils.config import GUILD_ID
from discord.utils import get
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Interaction
from discord.app_commands import command, Group

class ReadyEvent(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.client.tree.sync(guild=self.client.get_guild(GUILD_ID))
        print("The bot is ready!")

class TestCommand(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    test_group = Group(name='test', description='Test cmd group', guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])
    test2_group = Group(name='test2', parent = test_group, description='Test2 cmd group', guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])

    @command(name="test")
    async def classic_welcome(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """Root group cmd, should be /test"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test")
        
    @test_group.command(name="test_cmd")
    async def classic_welcome(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """Cmd in test group, should be /test text_cmd"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test_cmd")
        
    @test_group.command(name="test2")
    async def classic_welcome(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """subgroup root, should be /test test2"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test2")
     
    @test2_group.command(name="test2_cmd")
    async def classic_welcome(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """sub group cmd, should be /test test2 test2_cmd"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test2_cmd")
        
async def main():
    
    async with client:
        await client.add_cog(ReadyEvent(client))
        await client.add_cog(TestCommand(client))

        await client.start(BOT_TOKEN)

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.members = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=intents)

asyncio.run(main())

You have two test commands, one is a group and one is a regular command. The regular command is shadowing the group, though I'm not sure why that isn't being caught at definition time. Likewise, every function has the same name (classic_welcome) which is shadowing the other ones too.

Thank you for your feedback. It is not always easy to make a minimal reproductible code without making some mistakes compare to the real code we have.

I followed your advice, remove all redundancies and shadowing. Unfortunatly, the result is the same.

I have now two groups:
/test
/test2
and one command in each :
/test test_cmd
/test test2 test2_cmd

Only the first command is shown in Discord. /test test2 test2_cmd is still not declared.

Here is the new code, hopefully without any mistakes this time.

import asyncio
import discord
from config import BOT_TOKEN
from utils.config import GUILD_ID
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Interaction
from discord.app_commands import Group

class ReadyEvent(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.client.tree.sync(guild=self.client.get_guild(GUILD_ID))
        await self.client.tree.sync() 
        print("The bot is ready!")

class TestCommand(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    test_group = Group(name='test', description='Test cmd group', guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])
    test2_group = Group(name='test2', parent = test_group, description='Test2 cmd group', guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])

    @test_group.command(name="test_cmd")
    async def test_cmd(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """Cmd in test group, should be /test text_cmd"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test_cmd")
     
    @test2_group.command(name="test2_cmd")
    async def test2_cmd(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:
        """sub group cmd, should be /test test2 test2_cmd"""
        await interaction.response.send_message("test2_cmd")
        
async def main():
    
    async with client:
        await client.add_cog(ReadyEvent(client))
        await client.add_cog(TestCommand(client))

        await client.start(BOT_TOKEN)

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.members = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=intents)

asyncio.run(main())

With the corrected code, this looks like a bug. So I'm going to upgrade this to an issue.

Very reactive, thank you !
