Trying to Handle Errors but Missing Positional Arguments

Python
1

Hi,
I am currently making a discord bot, but when trying to handle errors, I am getting this:
Ignoring exception in on_command_error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py”, line 343, in _run_event
await coro(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: on_command_error() missing 2 required positional arguments: ‘error’ and ‘exc’
This is the code that is causing issues:

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(bot, ctx, error, exc):
    if isinstance(exc, CommandNotFound):
      pass
    
    elif isinstance(exc, CommandOnCooldown):
     await ctx.send(f"Command is on cooldown. Command resets in {exc.retry_after:,.2f} seconds.")
    
    elif hasattr(exc, ["original"]):
      raise exc.original

    else:
      raise exc

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This error means, for whatever reason, function is called using only two arguments, while definition of function requires four arguments.

How would I fix this issue?

Most likely either change function definition or change way function is called from elsewhere. But that depends on which case is it exactly - function is not defined like it should, or it’s improperly called.

I’m not getting the error anymore, thank you! It’s still not doing what I want but I’ll have to play around with it more haha. I’ve been trying to code at 5am before I go to work so my brain is not awake when I try to do this.
