Could not find discord application version (Linux)

[antoninhrlt]

I've installed BeautifulDiscord and when I try to run beautifuldiscord --css discord.css It return me

Found Discord under /app/discord
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/anton/.local/bin/beautifuldiscord", line 33, in <module>

    os.chdir(discord.script_path)

    raise RuntimeError('Could not find discord application version under "{}".'.format(config))
RuntimeError: Could not find discord application version under "/home/anton/.config/discord".

I've installed Discord with flatpack on Fedora, it's that the problem ? The .config/discord folder is empty

I use DiscordBetter now but it's interesting to know why this happen. Flatpak it's probably the problem, it doesn't install Discord normally (like other download tools)

Yeah, Flatpak is definitely the problem here. As a workaround I've been able to get it to work by temporarily overriding the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable, e.g.

env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.var/app/com.discordapp.DiscordCanary/config/ beautifuldiscord

(change DiscordCanary to Discord if you're using the non-canary version)

It will fail to restart Discord, but the CSS file is successfully injected.
