Discordpy Tasks Not Working As Expected. No Returning

@tasks.loop(seconds = 5.0) async def remind420(self): print('YES') print(datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M')) if datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M') == '16:55' or datetime.no

Solution 1:

Make sure to have all your imports and self in the before_loop function parameters. If it is inside a cog, make sure to include self before the client. Adding the hours, minutes and count + the self in the before bit seemed to fix the issue.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
from datetime import date, datetime

classStackOverflow(commands.Cog):
    def__init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        self.remind420.start()

    @tasks.loop(seconds = 5.0, minutes=0, hours=0 count=None)asyncdefremind420(self):
        print("YES")
        print(datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M"))
        if datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M") == "16:55"or datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M") == "04:20":
            await self.client.get_channel(632933507399942164).send("420!!")


    @remind420.before_loopasyncdefremind420_before(self):
        await self.client.wait_until_ready()

Solution 2:

You are missing the .start() method in on_ready() event listener.

@bot.eventasync def on_ready():
   ifnot remind420.is_running():
      remind420.start()
