Problem getting winetricks to run in steam compatdata prefixes

[scottz657]

Hey I'm having trouble getting winetricks to run in steam's compatdata prefixes it uses for proton.

When I try to use WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx winetricks all I get is Executing mkdir -p /home/MY_USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830

I ran the with same command with the -v tag to get verbose output and this is the output

Replaced every instance of my computer's name with MY_USERNAME to conceal my identity.

not sure what to make of this, but that's all the information I have about the bug.
