Doesn't work on MacOS

[K-NRS]

The extension works properly on my Linux devices. However, it could not connect to Discord RPC on MacOS.

Need a permission or setting? Or, is it a problem about the extension?
I've checked it in privacy settings but no missing or incorrect thing appears.

If you haven't figured it out, here is what worked for me:

1. $ find /private/var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*" 2> /dev/null
   in my case it returned: /private/var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-0
2. Go into /.config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-discord-rpc/lib and open index.js.
3. Change line 3046 from return ${prefix.replace(/\/$/, '')}/discord-ipc-${id}; to return /var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-${id};

Configure 3. to return your discord pic path accordingly, and put both the returns in backticks.

It worked for me too, thank you. Should be fixed in the project also.

@Vaansh znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn is this value static? If so, then I can modify the RPC library to detect whether it is running on macOS or not.

The value is not static. Mine was different.

@leonardssh No, I do not think it is static since it’s different from someone’s path in another issue.

Hmm, then, there is another solution, we could execute find /private/var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*" 2> /dev/null using child_process, and that's how we find the path where the discord-ipc is. But I'm going to need one of you for tests if you want to help me. 😊

It seems that there is already a PR with a solution to this problem: discordjs/RPC#113

If you haven't figured it out, here is what worked for me:

1. `$ find /private/var/folders -name "*discord-ipc*" 2> /dev/null`
   in my case it returned: `/private/var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-0`

2. Go into `/.config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-discord-rpc/lib` and open `index.js`.

3. Change line 3046 from `return ${prefix.replace(/\/$/, '')}/discord-ipc-${id};` to `return /var/folders/g3/znz8yyl55ls27thh9l56x6rr0000gn/T/discord-ipc-${id};`

Configure 3. to return your discord pic path accordingly, and put both the returns in backticks.
