Validation Error when using Direct Send (Pydantic error)

[admond1994]

Hi,

When I used direct_send method to send a DM to a user (myself in this case), I got Validation Error (Pydantic) as shown below. Anyone encountered this error and fixed that?

@adw0rd could this be due to the updated Pydantic version? Thanks for the help in advance!

I also saw a similar issue faced by others: #1444 (comment)

🧑🏻‍💻 My Code:

cl.direct_send('This is a bot', user_ids=[cl.user_id])

⚠️ Validation Error (full traceback error):
