Discord Embeds - Editing

See original GitHub issue

When trying to edit an embed:

@client.command()
 async def ping(self):
        """Pings the bot"""
        pingtime = time.time()
        e = discord.Embed(title="Pinging...", colour=0xFF0000)
        await self.bot.say(embed=e)
        ping = time.time() - pingtime
        complete = "Pong, %.01f seconds" % ping
        em = discord.Embed(title=complete, colour=0xFF0000)
        await self.bot.edit_message(e, embed=em)```

I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'Embed' object has no attribute 'channel'

But I have no clue how to fix it. Could you please help.. ^Shiney

No, please read the docs. If you want help, the place is the API server linked in the README, not GitHub issues. These are for issues with the library.

The answer given by Bluescream is right.

You get the message object via the return of e.g. await bot.say. Then you pass it to bot.edit_message.
