Script fails under Windows 10

[Snowflake6]

Not sure this is completely fixed. I just tried this and i'm getting a similar error returned when I try to run it under WSL (Ubuntu 18.04):

user@LAPTOP:~$ ./darkSlack.sh
ls: cannot access '/Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack/app*/': No such file or directory
Bringing Slack into the darknesss...

tee: /Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack//resources/app.asar.unpacked/dist/ssb-interop.bundle.js: No such file or directory

Slack Updated! Refresh or reload slack to see changes
user@LAPTOP:~$

I'll add that there is no ssb-interop.bundle.js in the install tree for Slack 4.0.0 on Win 10 either. So unless this script is supposed to create it, I don't know how it gets there?

Update: I added a bunch of echo statements to try and diagnose why it's not finding things. That showed me that it wasn't populating the USERPROFILE_* variables, which meant it wasn't populating WIN_HOME properly or APP_VER, etc. etc. That's now fixed, but it still fails with a permission error:

user@LAPTOP:~$ ./darkSlack.sh
WIN_HOME_RAW=  C:\Users\First.Last
USERPROFILE_DRIVE=  C:
USERPROFILE_MNT=  /mnt/c
USERPROFILE_DIR=  \Users\First.Last
WIN_HOME=  /mnt/c/Users/First.Last
APP_VER= /mnt/c/Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack/app-4.0.0/ /mnt/c/Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack/app-3.4.3/

If I run the same script as sudo ./darkSlack.sh, I get this instead:

user@LAPTOP:~$ sudo ./darkSlack.sh
WIN_HOME_RAW=
USERPROFILE_DRIVE=  :
USERPROFILE_MNT=  /mnt/c
USERPROFILE_DIR=
WIN_HOME=  /mnt/c
ls: cannot access '/mnt/c/AppData/Local/slack/app*/': No such file or directory

Oh, and note that I had to hard-code the value of /mnt/c for USERPROFILE_MNT. It won't find that no matter what I try. That's why it shows up when I run it via sudo.

Update: As per comments in this thread:
https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme/issues/98
I tried exiting Slack and running the script again. This time it completes, however, now Slack won't start.

Update:

Re-installed Slack over top of my non-working install.
Confirmed working with white (stock) backgrounds.
Closed Slack window, then Exited Slack using the taskbar-tray icon.
Ran script in WSL. Took longer than last time, but finished.
Started Slack, and it works! Back to dark theme.

The USERPROFILE_MNT part has to do with escaping, i guess. the findmnt command itself works if your hard-code "C:\" as the lookup string but won't work when using said variable that contains the same value.
Didn't find a way to escape it properly either and hard-coded the same value you did.

For me however, It still doesn't work. I still get the stock white backgrounds as if it won't load the DOM event at all.

I ended up having to change USERPROFILE_DRIVE="${WIN_HOME_RAW%%:*}:" to USERPROFILE_DRIVE="${WIN_HOME_RAW%%:*}:\\" to get the script to work on Windows.

This worked for me. I also mentioned this on https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme/issues/98

@kurtzberger confirmed. Adding the double backslash fixes the detection of folders. Looks like the script is now functional on my end.

If you're using windows use this in powershell (running in Administrator mode):

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benjamhooper/slack-custom-theme/master/slackcustomtheme.ps1')

Run this for a custom slack theme, just use this repo's theme. The raw link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/earlduque/Slack-Dark-Theme/master/dark.css
