'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

I’ve seen this issue posted here multiple times and it is usually said to be an issue of the code but there is one from 10 days ago that seemed to not have an answer yet, so I’m thinking there still may be an issue in the code here?

Doing:

mgs = []
async for x in client.logs_from(client.get_channel('361683030932193281')):
    mgs.append(x)
await client.delete_messages(mgs)

Getting “‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘id’”…

Tried doing it a multitude of different ways including having the get_channel code as it’s own line with a name and whatnot.

get_channel returns None when a channel with the specified channel ID was not found in the cache. This raises some possibilities:

• The channel is not in cache yet. Try using wait_until_ready, which sleeps the coroutine until all channels, guilds and members are available in cache.
• This channel doesn’t exist (you copied the ID wrong or similar)
• The bot logged in can’t actually see the channel (this doesn’t mean that it can’t read from it and should only happen when not in a mutual guild)

Judging by your last comment, I’m going to guess it’s the first one. Stick a

await client.wait_until_ready()

before your main code and see if it fixes the problem.

That fixed it. (wait_until_ready(), not the rest) Thanks, Gorialis. Great answer.
