Failed to connect to Discord (Could not find Discord installed and running on this machine.)

Getting this error when running the script:

Is Discord installed and running on the same PC as the script...?

I can't reproduce this issue myself, and there's no information for me to begin to diagnose your problem.

Yes, Discord is installed and running on the same PC as the script:

Rather than close the issue that's only been open for less than a day, it would be helpful if you requested information that might be needed to help you debug.

I just tried replacing my plex username and password with junk values and the script still seems to "authenticate", so clearly that is not working properly:

$ python3.10 -V
Python 3.10.4

$ cat config.json

    "logging": {
        "severity": "DEBUG"
    },
    "plex": {
        "username": "blablahblah",

        "users": ["some_user"]

}
