python3 main.py
  File "/home/runner/Kairi/main.py", line 68
    encouragements = []
    ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block after 'if' statement on line 67
exit status 1

Can you send the link to it? (It’s that first section of the guide.)

No, that’s good.

It looks like your if statements have wonky indentation.

I think you can highlight lines 63 through 67 of your code and hold the Shift key and press Tab. This should decrease the indentation by one, and fix the error.

It depends on what exactly you’re trying to do though. This would fix the error, but might not result in your exact wanted functionality.

Did that now its saying this:

python3 main.py

  File "/home/runner/Kairi/main.py", line 68
    encouragements = []
                       ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

exit status 1

Im sorry if Im a waste of time

Oh, I think you pressed only Tab (which indents it forward). Select the same text, hold down the Shift key, and while holding it still, press the Tab key twice.

No, you’re not. Everyone is here to help other people

Ok. Let me try it. Now its saying Line 62 is wrong

python3 main.py
  File "/home/runner/Kairi/main.py", line 63
    encouraging_message = msg.split("$new ",1)[1]
    ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block after 'if' statement on line 62
11

It means that the code below that needs another indentation. Highlight 63, 64, and 65 and hit Tab.

If you want that if statement nested inside the db["responding"] one, then highlight 62 through 65 and hit Tab again.

12

Its says this now

python3 main.py
  File "/home/runner/Kairi/main.py", line 62
    if msg.startswith("$new"):
                              ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
exit status 1
13

Select lines 55 through 60, and do Shift and Tab again.

14

I had to do the steps again but I just did first one you had me do and then I clicked run and now it says this:

python3 main.py
  File "/home/runner/Kairi/main.py", line 81
    if msg.startswith("$responding"):
                                     ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
15

I am sorry if I am wasting you time. I do appreciate the help

16

Select lines 76 through 79, and do a Shift + Tab again.

18

Almost. Now it says this:

python3 main.py
File “/home/runner/Kairi/main.py”, line 52
await message.channel.send(quote)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: ‘await’ outside function
19

What do I do next? I feel like its almost there
