Local client not Found on Mac M1

[deevo-sage]

cannot seem to work i've tried reinstalling discord, event installed it from brew,

This issue persists on every discord presence plugin....

Unfortunately I do not have an M1 Mac to test on: could you check if any files starting with discord-ipc- exist in the $TMPDIR directory?

[ObserverOfTime]

discordjs/RPC#113 seems to have a solution of sorts.
The question is how do we implement that properly here?

What's the output of the following Python code?

print(__import__('tempfile').gettempdir())

I got this as output

/var/folders/32/2h86y69920q2gcd7s7zv1s940000gn/T

Is discord-ipc-0 in that folder?

[deevo-sage]

nope

[deevo-sage]

lots of com.apple stuff gql-language service and some yarn folders etc

[ObserverOfTime]

I'm assuming you've started Discord.

Does this script find the file?

find /private/var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*" || find /var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*"

[deevo-sage]

/var/folders/32/2h86y69920q2gcd7s7zv1s940000gn/T/discord-ipc-0

it found it in the same directory

[ObserverOfTime]

So had you not started Discord when you said "nope"? 🤔

[deevo-sage]

it's been on for like last 5-6 hours, maybe wasn't able to see it in kitty, used warp and was clearer

Unfortunately I do not have an M1 Mac to test on: could you check if any files starting with discord-ipc- exist in the $TMPDIR directory?

I'd still like you to check this by getting the output of ls -A "$(python3 -c "import os, os.path; print(next((os.environ.get(path, None) for path in ['XDG_RUNTIME_DIR', 'TMPDIR', 'TMP', 'TEMP'] if path in os.environ), '/tmp'))")". This is the logic used by the plugin to determine the directory of the IPC socket: it slightly differs from tempfile.gettempdir() (which we really should be using, but that is outside of this issue's scope).

[ObserverOfTime]

I wouldn't say it's outside of the issue's scope if it potentially fixes the issue.

its finding discord-ipc-0

[ObserverOfTime]

Interesting. Why isn't it working then? 🤔

[deevo-sage]

no idea XD

[ObserverOfTime]

Maybe because you're using sudo?

[aurieh]

Indeed, the temporary directory for the root user is different from that of the regular user, which Discord is running as.

[deevo-sage]

loads of red stuff like this just to ignore i use sudo i guess XD

it's working without sudo acutally

[ObserverOfTime]

The file's in your home folder, just chown it.

[aurieh]

That particular error was most likely caused by the log file being created as root due to your previous use of sudo. As @ObserverOfTime already pointed out, you should be able to just chown "$(id -u):" it.

It is inadvisable to use your editor as root, consider sudoedit (or a macOS alternative) when you wish to edit files owned by another user.

drwxr-xr-x@ 14 sidharthsahni  staff  448 Sep 15 00:10 nvim/

it's this right now what should i change it to root? ( i haven't used chown before )

[ObserverOfTime]

This should do it:

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.cache/nvim

[deevo-sage]

thanks <3
works now :))
