python - can any one tell me what is missing in my code please, i cant use the discord user name

Question

I want the user to start with 40 points, but if he already started just send how many points he has.

The error that im currently geting is: message is a required argument that is missing. But i dont know what is missing.

async def money(self, ctx, message):
    user = message.author
    read = open(user, 'a').close()

    if os.stat(user).st_size == 0:
        moneyfile=open(user, 'w')
        moneyfile.write('40')
        moneyfile.close()
    else:
        readfile = open(user, 'r').read()
        points=readfile
        int(points)
        await ctx.send(points)

Answer 1

The error reads itself, you are doing the command but not entering a message param. To fix this, delete the message param and set user in the 2nd line to ctx.author.
