TypeError: Object of type Message is not JSON serializable | discord.py

Question

I am creating autovc command for my discord bot but I ran into some error. Code:

@client.command()
async def autovc(ctx):
    def check(message):
        return message.author == ctx.author
    await ctx.send("Please enter the channel name you want to create?")
    c_name= await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
    await ctx.send("What would be the channel user limit?")
    c_limit= int((await client.wait_for('message', check=check)).content)
    await ctx.send("Please Enter the Category ID in which tha channel will be created.")
    guild = client.get_guild(852866665371926588)
    ctg= discord.utils.get(guild.categories, id=(int((await client.wait_for('message', check=check)).content)))
    await guild.create_voice_channel(name= c_name, category= ctg, user_limit= c_limit)

Error:

TypeError: Object of type Message is not JSON serializable

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\illus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 939, in invoke await ctx.command.invoke(ctx) File "C:\Users\illus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 863, in invoke await injected(*ctx.args, **ctx.kwargs) File "C:\Users\illus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 94, in wrapped raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: Object of type Message is not JSON serializable

I'd recommend going for inputting the required arguments (channel name, category ID, user limit) using the command directly, like so: async def autovc(ctx, c_name: str, c_categid: int, c_limit: int): — Harsh Modani

I think it is happening because you are trying to name your vc with message object and not string. Instead of putting c_name as name parameter try putting c_name.content so you get the actual contents of the message. Like this:

await guild.create_voice_channel(name=c_name.content, category=ctg, user_limit=c_limit)

I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure that's the problem.
