[Bug]: Fails to Create Forum Channel

[malikmajai]

Description

I am not able to create a forum channel. Here is my code:

GUILD_ID = 0
CATEGORY_ID = 0
guild: discord.Guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
category: discord.CategoryChannel = bot.get_channel(CATEGORY_ID)
await guild.create_forum_channel(name='Test', category=category)
    ```

Just to ask, why are you using bot.get_channel if you got the guild? Just use guild.get_channel (it's much faster)🙈

Oh

[malikmajai]

Didn't knew guild.get_channel is faster than bot.get_channel

[mccoderpy]

Didn't knew guild.get_channel is faster than bot.get_channel

Of course it is
bot.get_channel ->

discord.py-message-components/discord/state.py

Lines 1501 to 1515 in 33f5246

	def get_channel(self, id):
	if id is None:
	return None
	pm = self._get_private_channel(id)
	if pm is not None:
	return pm
	for guild in self.guilds:
	channel = guild.get_channel(id)
	if channel is not None:
	return channel
	# We assume it is an uncached privat channel here, this may be false

Btw. you just need to provide an default_auto_archive_duration (which should be 7 or 3 days). Then it works.

[malikmajai]

guild: discord.Guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
category: discord.CategoryChannel = bot.get_channel(CATEGORY_ID)
await guild.create_forum_channel(name='Test', category=category)

By default it is None, it should work with default value also

[mccoderpy]

guild: discord.Guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
category: discord.CategoryChannel = bot.get_channel(CATEGORY_ID)
await guild.create_forum_channel(name='Test', category=category)

By default it is None, it should work with default value also

Yea the check is wrong. It should just drop the field if it is None, as every field except name is nullable for the guild channel endpoint.

Hi bro, do we have a new server for this library?

In theory yes...
