Ok finally solved it. I missed this fragment in the docs:

Overriding the default provided on_message forbids any extra commands from running. To fix this, add a bot.process_commands(message) line at the end of your on_message

Thanks everyone for help.

@JonB Tried the function, nothing no response not on the server or the terminal

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    print("test Called")
    await ctx.send('test')

I changed the client.event to bot.event, the on_message event and on_ready work fine. The command still doesn't respond

import discord
from discord.ext.commands import Bot

TOKEN = 'MyToken'

bot = Bot(command_prefix='$')


@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    print("test Called")
    await ctx.send('test')


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("We have logged in as: {0.user}".format(bot))


@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith("shrug"):
        print("shrug")
        await message.channel.send('¯\_(ツ)_/¯')

bot.run(TOKEN)

@ellie_ff1493 I did. Nothing happens. Like the command event never even occured.

@ccc @cvp I deleted all the comments and PyDoc, there is no change.

Ok, so I'm trying to create Discord Bot and i can't figure out why my commands don't work. The on_message() events work properly if i type shrug the bot sends the emoji but when i try to call the $test command bot doesn't respond literraly no errors and no response on the channel. I've spent like 2 hours reading the documentation and everything is ok, but its not.

Python 3.6.8
discord-py 1.2.2

Please somebody help.

from discord.ext.commands import Bot

TOKEN = 'Here goes my token'

client = discord.Client()
bot = Bot(command_prefix='$') """ Command prefix is marked red in PyCharm"""


@bot.command()

    await ctx.send(arg)

"""
