Is there a way to recall a cog slash command from a cog slash command?

[brotherelric]

Example:
There is a setup cog slash command. When a user uses a command and it recognizes the user is new (based on json file), I want the command to "turn" into the setup command, running the code from the setup command instead.

if user in db:
      pass
else:
      [recall/redirect the user to setup slash command]

Thanks in advance.

just call the callback of the setup command just like a normal method

For example

class MyCog:
    ...
    @cogs.slash_cog(...)
    async def setup(self, ctx):
        # your command code
    @cogs.slash_cog(...)
    async def other_command(self, ctx):
        if user in db:
            pass
        else:
            # call the setup function
            await self.setup(ctx)
            return

This will run the setup command as if it was used as a slash command

As of what I'm testing, it can only work for one slash command right at a time, or am I wrong?
You would have to repeat this for every cog slash command in which I want the code from this to be recalled.

async def setup(self, ctx):

what do you mean with repeat async def setup(self, ctx):? im kinda confused.

async def setup(self, ctx):

is (in the example i send) your setup slash command you have.
As you said

There is a setup cog slash command.

Sorry if I'm missunderstanding something but my english sucks

I may have not expressed myself correctly, my bad.
I was asking if there was any way to do it like this. Setup is a slash command separetely, which you can use. On the other hand, other commands may want to recall that slash command's code:

@slash_cog(name="setup")
    async def setup(self, ctx):
        # setup command code

@slash_cog(name="profile")
    async def profile(self, ctx):
        if user in db:
            pass
        else:
            # call the setup function
            await self.setup(ctx)
            return

@slash_cog(name="command2")
    async def command2(self, ctx):
        if user in db:
            pass
        else:
            await self.setup(ctx)
            return

If I am understanding your response correctly, I wouldn't be able to do it like this, hence I would have to do it like this:

@cogs.slash_cog(name="profile")
    async def setup(self, ctx):
        # setup command code
    async def profile(self, ctx):
        if user in db:
            pass
        else:
            # call the setup function
            await self.setup(ctx)
            return

@cogs.slash_cog(name="command2")
    async def setup(self, ctx):
        # setup command code
    async def command2(self, ctx):
        if user in db:
            pass
        else:
            await self.setup(ctx)
            return

If I am correct and that the only way is to do it like this, I don't think that would be any more efficient than just copy and pasting the code. I may be incorrect.

If I am not clear, let me know. Thanks!

oh, I think I forgot the slash cog decorator in my example which maybe caused a bit of confusion. The first method of yours should work

(with the first method I mean)

@slash_cog(name="setup")
async def setup(self, ctx):
    # setup command code

@slash_cog(name="profile")
async def profile(self, ctx):
    if user in db:
        pass
    else:
        # call the setup function
        await self.setup(ctx)
        return

@slash_cog(name="command2")
async def command2(self, ctx):
    if user in db:
        pass
    else:
        await self.setup(ctx)
        return

It isn't working for me unfortunately.

okay, seems that there's an issue with directly calling cog commands with (), sorry for that, until it's fixed this should be a workaround

...
await self.setup.invoke(ctx) # instead of await self.setup(ctx)

sorry for the trouble

Thank you! 😊
