Unable to connect to discord after installation

[Ngomana]

I was unable to connect I installed it and when I opened up NeoVim it printed out: [coc.nvim] RPC: Could not connect
I also tried to enable with [coc.nvim]: Error on notification "runCommand": Could not connect
And reconnect as well [coc.nvim] RPC: Could not connect

[AlexWillCode]

I just installed coc-discord-rpc for the first time and can reproduce this bug. (MacOS 11.2.3)

use coc-discord-presence

Same error for me... I'm on MacOS maybe that could be a problem.

Refer to this issue that happened before.

It seems that this is an issue specific to macOS. Luckily, there is a fix posted by @Vaansh

If you haven't figured it out, here is what worked for me:

1. $ find /private/var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*" 2> /dev/null
   in my case it returned: /private/var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-0
2. Go into /.config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-discord-rpc/lib and open index.js.
3. Change line 3046 from return ${prefix.replace(/\/$/, '')}/discord-ipc-${id}; to return /var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-${id};

Configure 3. to return your discord pic path accordingly, and put both the returns in backticks.

Please update the extension and let me know if the problem is solved.

[Ngomana]

This is what I'm getting.
[coc.nvim]: Error on notification "runCommand": Cannot read property 'write' of null

[leonardssh]

Can you tell me what source you installed the discord from?

[Ngomana]

Can you tell me what source you installed the discord from?

CocInstall coc-discord-rpc

[stephfh]

Also getting that error with the most recent release of the package.

[coc.nvim] Error on activate extension coc-discord-rpc: Cannot read property 'write' of null

Versions:

Big Sur 11.5
nvim 0.5
Discord: 0.0.263

Can you tell me what source you installed the discord from?

Standard .dmg from the website, not via brew or any other package manager.

[leonardssh]

If you are using VSCode, please test the https://github.com/LeonardSSH/vscord extension, it is made with the same discord rpc, and let me know if it works.

[stephfh]

Just installed your extension for VSCode. Yes, that one is able to connect to Discord, the second it finished installing the extension.

[leonardssh]

@stephfh please see #45 #18 #15

[Ngomana]

Does anyone know why I don't have a lib folder?

[leonardssh]

@lewisblackburn 'Cause in the new version, the lib folder has been changed to dist. I forgot to mention this in the release. 😅

This fix worked for me but the index.js file was different. I did a ctrl-f for "discord-ipc" to find the return statement that was mentioned, and following the steps from there fixed the issue for me.
