title: Discord.py Bot sending file to Discord Channel
body: <p>I am trying to make my discord bot send a jpg file to my discord server, but I keep getting an error that seems pretty uncommon as I can not find any solutions to it on the internet...</p>
  
  <p>the error is...
  discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientRequestError: Can not write request body for <a href="https://discordapp.com/api/v6/channels/454374995758678029/messages" rel="noreferrer">https://discordapp.com/api/v6/channels/454374995758678029/messages</a></p>
  
  <p>My imports are</p>
  
  <pre><code>import time
  
  import discord
  from discord.ext import commands
  from discord.ext.commands import Bot
  import asyncio
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code that I will pull out that the error is related to is</p>
  
  <pre><code>@bot.command(pass_context = True)
  
  async def image(ctx):
  
          await bot.send_file(ctx.message.channel, open('halogen.jpg'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I just missing an import or is there an actual problem with my code?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks guys</p>
