# Dont work
class CenturyBOT(commands.InteractionBot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(intents=disnake.Intents.all(), owner_id=347880706724069376)

            if filename.endswith('.py') and filename != '__init__.py':
                self.load_extension(f'module.{filename[:-3]}')

    load_dotenv(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'data', '.env'))
    bot = CenturyBOT()
    bot.run(os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))

Expected Results

I expected cogs to run without a loop for

Actual Results

Mistake

Intents

disnake.Intents.all()

This is one of the unfortunate flaws of load_extensions().

If you change the working directory from which the process is launched to ./centurybot/ instead of the top-level directory, load_extensions("module") should work, but this might break other things in your code that relied on a specific cwd.

Running your code as a module would also work, but requires you to adjust some imports.
Alternatively, the manual approach of iterating through os.listdir as you did before is perfectly fine too.

#796 aims to improve load_extensions significantly, but there are still a couple edge cases to be ironed out.
