Can't authenticate to RiotClientUx

[plonsik]

Hey, I wanted to authenticate with RiotClientUx, but after specified it in authenticate name: "RiotClientUx" im getting "league client process could not be located". I've noticed that there is no RiotClientUx process launched, only LeagueClientUx and LeagueClient with commands suggests that RiotClient is bundled into it? Im not really sure.

I think the issue here is that we need to change regex when we are trying to connect to Riot Client but process stays the same "LeagueClientUx.exe"

if(name != DEFAULT_NAME){
  const portRegex = /--riotclient-app-port=([0-9]+)/
  const passwordRegex = /--riotclient-remoting-auth-token=([\w-]+?)(?:\s*-{2}[\w-]|\s*$)/
} else {
  const portRegex = /--app-port=([0-9]+)/
  const passwordRegex = /--remoting-auth-token=([\w-]+?)(?:\s*-{2}[\w-]|\s*$)/
}

Hi, thanks for the issue!

What does the LeagueClientUx.exe command line arguments look like? league-connect will by default try the LeagueClientUx executable, not the LeagueClient one.

Hello! LeagueClientUx command line line has also riotclient credentials, just few more arguments. What im trying to point it that line in your code:

   if (!isWindows) {
      command = `ps x -o args | grep '${name}'`
    } else if (isWindows && options?.useDeprecatedWmic === true) {
      command = `wmic process where caption='${name}.exe' get commandline`
    } else {
      command = `Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT * from Win32_Process WHERE name LIKE '${name}.exe'" | Select-Object CommandLine | fl`
    }

from authentication.ts starting at line 123

when you set in authentication parameter name to "name: "RiotClientUx"

• it wont get credentials for RiotClient - need to have another regex as i pointed in 1st post of the issue
• it wont find League Client - there is no process RiotClientUx only LeagueClientUx and if u want to connect to RiotClient you only need to swap port and token - every request is still sent to 127.0.0.1 but with riotclient port

Hope im clear enough, if there is something you cant understand please I'll try explaining again :D or we can do quick call also

as you can see there are LeagueClient credentials and RiotClient credentials

RiotClientUx closes once you log into League unless you manually open it back up. However, when it is open it uses --remoting-auth-token just like LeagueClientUx does. Are you instead wanting to connect to the RiotClientServices process? The Riot Client doesn't have many available endpoints, so in 99.9% of cases you will want to connect to the LCU instead.

[plonsik]

No, I want to use RiotClientUx, just as mentioned as a feature of this library. In my case i need endpoint from that client, so that is 0.01% case apperently.

Does the patch from Eugene in #108 fix it? Try rc-12
