Embeds not compatible with Pycord master branch

[tibue99]

DiscordChatExporterPy Version

2.5.3

Discord Version

py-cord-2.4.1.dev76+g7a6a42c5

Bug Description

Pycord added new parameters (author, footer, image, thumbnail) to discord.Embed in #1996.

This is currently only in their master branch, but this update breaks embeds for chat exporter.

Hello @tibue99,

Thank you for letting me know. Do you know when they plan to release this, just so I can schedule a release around the same time including the fix?

[tibue99]

Hey, thank you for taking care of this.

Pycord devs said they want to push for a release "very soon", so I'd guess they'll release it within the next 2 weeks, perhaps even sooner.

[mahtoid]

Okay, I'll try solve and get a release out on Saturday to cover this. Thank you again! 💜

[mahtoid]

Just to update, this seems to be an issue on Pycords end. I have dropped an issue on their Github and will follow through with what they say there.

[tibue99]

Thanks, this issue seems to be resolved after #2061, I tested exporting embeds with the current master branch.

Reopen, this fix gonna be reverted bcs invalid

[mahtoid]

Closing this out, solved this in the 2.6.0 branch using Pycords latest solution. Will get a release out soon.
