Could someone please tell me the reason?

from twitchAPI import Twitch
from twitchAPI.types import AuthScope, ChatEvent
from twitchAPI.chat import Chat, EventData, ChatMessage, ChatSub, ChatCommand
import asyncio

APP_ID = 'ID'
APP_SECRET = 'SECRET'
token = 'Token'
TARGET_CHANNEL = 'channel'
USER_SCOPE = [AuthScope.CHAT_READ, AuthScope.CHAT_EDIT]
async def run():
    twitch = await Twitch(APP_ID, APP_SECRET)
    twitch.auto_refresh_auth=False
    await twitch.set_user_authentication(token,USER_SCOPE)
    chat = await Chat(twitch)
    chat.start()
    await chat.send_message(TARGET_CHANNEL,"test")
    chat.stop()
    await twitch.close()
asyncio.run(run())

I want to send a message "test" to the chat
The sample project works, so the key is not wrong
But when I run this I get an error ValueError: can't send message: bot not ready

you are trying to send the message without giving it time to fully connect and join channel

you also just dont join the channel at all in this example (use either initial_channel or join channels in the ready event)
