There is no on_command() event for the new SlashApplications

[JoshPaulie]

Summary

Discord.py had an on_command() to quick log any command that is ran or attempted.

What is the feature request for?

The core library

The Problem

I would like to log all the commands my users execute. This is still possible with the classic commands, but not the new slash commands.

The Ideal Solution

Just some new event listeners! On error, on command, etc.

The Current Solution

I could patch it in to the library itself, but I would have to do for every new update.

Additional Context

No response

Application commands have all these events under on_application_command_x since the contexts will be different.

[JoshPaulie]

Ahh, okay. In discord.py I had an event like

@bot.event
async def on_command(ctx):
    """Prints commands to PSEUDO console"""
    if ctx.author.id != BotConfig.GoonIDs.josh_paulie:
        message = ctx.message
        content = message.content
        goon = message.author.name
        now = datetime.now().strftime("%a %I:%M")
        print(BotConfig.pipe.join([f"{now}", goon, content]))

but you're saying that won't work anymore because each slash command has its own context, I can't do a catch all like this?

No, you still can. You just need to use the on_application_command event for slash commands instead of on_command.

[krittick]

The new properties added in #935 should help you with that as well.

No, you still can. You just need to use the on_application_command event for slash commands instead of on_command.

@bot.event
async def on_application_command(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    console.log(ctx.author, ctx.command.qualified_name)

This is perfect! Thank you. Here's my code for reference
