There was a problem hiding this comment.
This could probably be a higher log level, we should have some way of seeing how frequently this is happening.

I believe this is unnecessary as the check is already done in bot/bot/exts/moderation/modlog.py Lines 476 to 481 in a04ae25 It's nice to have this code written in a way that a type checker can understand, but adding a check that will never trigger makes the code less clear. I would support making this more type checker friendly, but that would need more discussion and I don't think this is the neatest approach so I will close this. |

self.bot.get_channel()can returnNoneif the channel isn't in the bot's cache, butchannel.categorywas being accessed immediately after with no None check, causing anAttributeError.This is particularly impactful because
log_uncached_deleted_messageis called for every deleted message that isn't in the cache, which on a large server happens constantly. Every one of those events would silently crash the handler instead of logging.Added an early return with a trace log if the channel can't be found, matching the pattern used elsewhere in the codebase.
