Can't connect to discord rpc

[thekaizendiary]

After Installation, I get a prompt.

Can't connect to discord rpc: connect ENOENT /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0

I guess discord is launched ?

[thekaizendiary]

Discord was already launched up. After that I launched VS code. After Installation, On reloading vs code the prompt appears.

A strange thing that i recently noticed, It's happening with all the other vs-code extensions too that rely on Discord RPC.

Do you have the client version of discord ?

[thekaizendiary]

Yes, I do have the client installed (discord-0.0.4.deb)

Issue seems to be Ubuntu 18.04 using snap, so the discord directory looks like snap.discord and not discord. Download Discord Presence plugin, and if it doesn't work for you, head over /home/{user}/.vscode/extensions/icrawl.discord-vscode-x.xx.x/node_modules/discord-rpc/src/transports/ and replace the IPC.js file with the one that I have forked, in my repositories.

Am i crazy, there's no node_modules folder in the folder?

@Nishant-Pall what exactly do you mean? node_modules should never be committed to any repository, it only contains dependencies defined in the lock file (package-lock.json or yarn.lock). That's why we tell git to ignore this folder in .gitignore. If you're testing this on your local environment you need to run npm install or yarn that will install all dependencies given in package.json and generate a lock file.

Oh yeah, I forgot my bad, although I was able to solve the issue, just do sudo snap remove discord sudo snap remove code and install them from the main site and not from snap.
