Discord sandbox for testing bots
Not sure what language/library you're using, but I'll suggest something for Python/discord.py just in case you're using what I am using. I was also pretty surprised to find a relative lack of testing tools / information around such a well-known library. It does pretty much come down to three options AFAIK: Your strategy of making additional bots on a test server Separating the logic/working code into tests that do not rely on the discord API and testing those and trying to make the discord part as straightforward and bug-free as possible so you can test manually or with other bots There is a library called dpytest. It is in ALPHA, and lacks basically any meaningful documentation (understandably, since it is in alpha). It took me some decent chunk of time, but I eventually got it working with my bot and have been building up a test suite that is able to mock the discord API. It feels great to have the tests, not gonna lie. But it was a pain, and the library is missing features and whatnot. Or someone else might have further suggestions; this has just been my experience so far :) More on reddit.com
