Bug description

When using Wayland, I've been having an issue where I'll close the WebCord window (thus hiding it to the tray), and when I try open it back up (using either the toggle button in the tray icon menu or the GNOME application launcher), WebCord crashes. This happens with both the AppImage and the Flatpak.

Additional context

For reference, I'm using Fedora Silverblue 36 (with GNOME) with an AMD graphics card. Flatpak permissions are default. I don't know if this would have occurred on versions before v3.8.0.

Here's the log for when I use Flatpak:

I get the last two lines when I try to open the window back up.

This is how the log looks when I use AppImage (exec line for the .desktop file being ~/WebCord-3.8.1-x64.AppImage --ozone-platform=wayland:

I'm having the same situation. Even passing the switch --disable-gpu.

I'm experiencing this as well on the Flatpak variant.

Here's the log for when I use Flatpak:

Flatpak variants are not being considered to be fixed, I do not maintain them.

These errors seem to be associated with Flatpak sandboxing.

This looks like an internal Chromium engine error, it might be fatal according to your description but I'm unsure about this. It is probably a bug with Electron or Chromium. It would be great to get information how app would behave on different Electron versions or if this bug can be reproduced in older WebCord version rather confirming the issue like:

...or...

I figured you didn't support the flatpak, but the flatpak was how I first encountered the error, so I thought I'd just include everything for good measure/just in case. Sorry if it was unnecessary.

I could definitely see if I can replicate the issue on older versions of WebCord. I'd actually also be interested in testing if it happens in other similar apps, but I'm not sure how I could test that other than maybe set Discord up as a web app in Chromium. Do you think that might work? I'm not much of a dev, so I'm not too sure about these things.

So, I just tested this bug on WebCord 3.6.0 using the AppImage, which is Electron 19.something, and it seems like I replicated it. Here's the log:

As usual, the application didn't crash until I tried reopening the window after closing it. I'm not sure if the notification would give us a clue as to whether or not this error is fatal, but it looks like it, so I included it.

I did end up with similar UI issues brought up in this comment; I don't know if that would impact anything (I assume not), but hey, may as well be thorough.

I have a similar issue on NixOS and have been following an issue here: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/35657. Electron 23 seems to have the fix eluded to here: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/35657#issuecomment-1432397183
