python - Discord.py Bot sending file to Discord Channel

Question

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...

the error is... discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientRequestError: Can not write request body for https://discordapp.com/api/v6/channels/454374995758678029/messages

My imports are

import time

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
import asyncio

The code that I will pull out that the error is related to is

@bot.command(pass_context = True)

async def image(ctx):

        await bot.send_file(ctx.message.channel, open('halogen.jpg'))

Am I just missing an import or is there an actual problem with my code?

Thanks guys

I was researching the same thing and I found this to work:

    await ctx.send(file=discord.File(r'c:locationofhe_file_tosend.png'))
