python - Discord.py: on_member_join suddenly stopped working

Question

I have the following code that I am trying out:

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print("works")
    for channel in member.guild.text_channels:
        if channel.name == 'general':
            await channel.send("Welcome to " + member.guild.name + ", " + member + "!")

My previous on_member_join event worked fine, but for some reason it doesn't anymore. I have tried updating to discord.py 1.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting no errors.

Do you have on_command_error event for error handling and are you sure the channel exists? — Nurqm

discord.py 1.5.0 now supports discord API's Privileged Gateway Intents. In order to be able to exploit server data, you need to:

Enable Presence Intent and Server Members Intent in your discord application:

Use discord.Intents at the beginning of your code:

intents = Intents.all()

#If you use commands.Bot()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

#If you use discord.Client()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
