init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'config'

Question

This is my Code for Music Command I get this error Mentioned Above Can anyone Help Me Out ?

class Music(commands.Cog):
    """Bot commands to help play music."""

    def __init__(self, bot, config):
        self.bot = bot
        self.config = config[__name__.split(".")[
            -1]]  # retrieve module name, find config entry
        self.states = {}
        self.bot.add_listener(self.on_reaction_add, "on_reaction_add")

Which command leads to the error, how do you instantiate the class instance? — Daniel Lenz, Sep 26 '21 at 11:21
Your `Music` takes two arguments: (`bot` and `config`)... you used only one — Anwarvic, Sep 26 '21 at 11:22
Seems like you haven't given a value to `config` when creating the object — Tharu, Sep 26 '21 at 11:24
When you created the `Music` class you also take config as a parameter, you might be able to avoid the error by giving it a value. — Tharu, Sep 26 '21 at 11:27
If this is really your code and you don't know what this is for, you might want to try and remove the `config` argument from your `__init__` and remove this line: `self.config = config[__name__.split(".")[-1]] # retrieve module name, find config entry` from your code. — Almog-at-Nailo, Sep 26 '21 at 11:31
Or just give the parameter a [default value](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15535655/optional-arguments-in-initializer-of-python-class) — Tharu, Sep 26 '21 at 11:35
If u are using __init__ then self also need to call as a argument position — Ehsan Rahi, Sep 26 '21 at 13:32

This likely happened because you did something like

a = Music(something)

And forgot to enter something for config. To solve this you could give config some default value so something like,

class Music(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot, config='some default thing'):
        self.bot = bot
        self.config = config[__name__.split(".")[
            -1]]  # retrieve module name, find config entry
        self.states = {}
        self.bot.add_listener(self.on_reaction_add, "on_reaction_add")

Or if config is required you could put something for config on the line that you called it, So using a = Music(something,something_else) instead of a = Music(something)

Upvote or marking as correct answer is appreciated. :) – Deera Wijesundara Sep 26 '21 at 13:21 — Deera Wijesundara, Sep 26 '21 at 13:21
