voice.connect() never returns

[yuhime]

Summary

once the connect function is called the bot connects to the voice channel but the never returns, this blocks the code and is_connected returns false

Reproduction Steps

vc = ctx.voice_client
        
if vc:
  if vc.channel.id == channel.id:
    return
  try:
     await vc.move_to(channel)
     except asyncio.TimeoutError:
     raise VoiceConnectionError(f"Moving to channel: <{channel}> timed out.")
            
  else:
       try:
          await channel.connect(self_deaf=True) # never return
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            raise VoiceConnectionError("f'Connecting to channel: <{channel}> timed out.")
         
           ... # the rest of the code is not executed
        

Minimal Reproducible Code

vc = ctx.voice_client
        
if vc:
  if vc.channel.id == channel.id:
    return
  try:
     await vc.move_to(channel)
     except asyncio.TimeoutError:
     raise VoiceConnectionError(f"Moving to channel: <{channel}> timed out.")
            
else:
       try:
          await channel.connect(self_deaf=True) # never return
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            raise VoiceConnectionError("f'Connecting to channel: <{channel}> timed out.")
         
           ... # the rest of the code is not executed

Expected Results

await channel.connect(self_deaf=True) # return

print("connected") # executed

Actual Results

await channel.connect(self_deaf=True) # never return

print("connected") # not executed

Intents

intents = discord.Intents.default(); intents.message_content = True

Additional Context

this problem is not always present, sometimes everything works correctly

[Rapptz]

Have you checked if you have permissions to connect to the channel

[yuhime]

yes, it has all the necessary permits

[Rapptz]

I'm not seeing it in the code

[yuhime]

bot has administrator permissions, the problem does not always persist, sometimes everything works correctly

[Rapptz]

People frequently say this and then they check and it isn't true, that's why it's better to have the permission checks in the code.

Anyway, turn on debug logging and check the logs and see if anything pops up. Though it can get pretty spammy. This isn't reproducible as far as I'm aware outside of the scenario I mentioned with permissions.

[yuhime]

I have already tried my hand at checking debug logs and anything that could give me information, but I never find anything, nothing is sent, it just hangs. If it were a permissions problem it would never have worked, but instead sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

[Rapptz]

Then as it stands this issue is unfortunately not actionable. If there's new information or something that can point to something more actionable you are free to open a new issue.

@yosaki0 any updates on this? I'm having the same issue

[imayhaveborkedit]

This should be fixed with #9525.

With latest master I'm now seeing this behaviour. Attempting to call connect on a voice channel doesn't return though it does connect successfully. All works fine on 2.3.2.

class MinimalExample(commands.Cog):
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_voice_state_update(self, member, before, after):
        vc = member.guild.voice_client
        if not vc and after.channel:
            await self._connect(after.channel)

    async def _connect(self, channel):
        if channel.guild.voice_client is None:
            vc = await channel.connect()
            print(vc)  # Never executes

@codeofdusk I can't reproduce this. If this is consistent behavior for you, you should make a new issue with debug log output included.

@imayhaveborkedit I've opened #9634.
