Is this issue dead? The lack of attention this is getting is a little bit ridiculous.

Edit: This issue is more than a month old and still no response from a dev.

Looking through various of other issues of that kind should have gotten you that answer pretty quickly, namely:

#61
#54
#49
#21
#9
#8

I'm just kind of sick of people not looking through past issues at this point, so I left this one open.

It might help folks if the error message including a link to a troubleshooting doc or something, that had a few suggestions. Most of the "answers" in all of these issues, are very vague and don't have any follow through on possible root causes.

@iCrawl (Adding a pointer in your README to this might be be helpful).

The issue for most people, is likely that that the underlying Discord RPC library here https://github.com/discordjs/RPC uses a naive approach to determining the IPC path to the discord-ipc-0 file. It looks like it was written for Windows, and has had some Linux logic added as well, but still does not properly support Mac OS X.

I created an issue here with some details:
discordjs/RPC#54

Basically, the fix is likely that you need to search your system for the IPC file:

find / -name "*discord-ipc*" 2> /dev/null
/private/var/folders/kh/388s01ns6r9480zhlk51nb200000gn/T/discord-ipc-0

edit .vscode/extensions/icrawl.discord-vscode-3.2.1/node_modules/discord-rpc/src/transports/IPC.js accordingly:

function getIPCPath(id) {
  return `/private/var/folders/kh/388s01ns6r9480zhlk51nb200000gn/T/discord-ipc-${id}`;
}

and then restart Visual Studio Code.

At this point it . should work.

If you installed Discord / VSCode using Snap / Ubuntu Software Center, here is a fix.

I am using Ubuntu 18.10, Snap was the origin of my Can't connect to Discord, as it sandboxes apps.
It has been confirmed by a Discord collaborator: discord/discord-rpc#213 (comment)

So if you installed any of those two using Snap, here's the fix:

• sudo snap remove vscode discord
• download the .deb files from the official websites
• install the .deb files using the sudo dpkg -i package.dpkg command
• DO NOT USE UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER, AS IT USES SNAP.
