🖋️ Update your discord status with a rich presence

Discord Presence

Update your discord status with a rich presence.

Features

• Shows what you are editing in VSCode
• Support for over 140 of the most popular languages
• Enable/Disable Rich Presence for individual workspaces (enabled by default)
• Custom string support
• Stable or Insiders build detection
• Debug mode detection
• Easily manually reconnect to Discord

Troubleshooting

Windows: Do not run your VSCode or Discord as admin, there is no reason to and it just further complicates everything down the line.

Linux: Discord versions installed using flatpak or snap need modifications in order to support IPC. In order to avoid this (and as Discord itself suggests) you should download it from discord.com

[Request] Preference to display "Line X of Y" or "File Size: Xyz"

Just as the title states. This could be a replacement for my previous Request to disable Workspace Name.

Examples:

Visual Studio Code
Editing App.js
24:31 elapsed
Line 1,253 of 6,650

Visual Studio Code
Editing Payload.cpp
1:27 elapsed
File Size: 54kb

[Feature Request] Ability to customize what to be show

In most cases, it a-okay to show all the information that is related to the current project I'm working on, but sometimes I might switch to some project is more likely to be a closed source project, but I still want to ability to tell someone that I'm actually paying my hard work and dedication to the project, a good way to do so is via this lovely VSCode plugin and all I want is to eliminate some of the more sensitive information like the file name

"Editing a LUA file"

I can't find the code at fault, but I see Lua is capitalised in the rich preview:

"Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun. More specifically, "Lua" is a name, the name of the Earth's moon and the name of the language. Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is, "Lua". Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!

why not vscode-discord?

Option to default to disabled on new workspaces

Hey, great work. For privacy reasons, I think it would be great to have an option to have rich presence be disabled by default on new workspaces, unless you explicitly enable it for them.

Client Discord doesn't detected via RPC

Hi ! I have a problem, the Rich Presence isn't detected on Visual Studio Code (I'm using Ubuntu Budgie 18.04) , I'm not sure that the problem is coming from Discord, because it works perfectly on Spotify

Add pawn support please

[Request] Preference to disable Workspace name

As stated in my last request, loving the Extension, keep up the great work! I've got a few more requests to make this Extension even better, I'll keep them in seperate Issues as they are all seperate features.

This Preference would be useful when you are working on a private/unannounced Project that you wouldn't want other users to see. Sort of niche, I know, but it'd be appreciated to have.

Note, setting the Workspace Name prefs to blank return an error

[icrawl.discord-vscode]4000 child "activity" fails because [child "state" fails because ["state" is not allowed to be empty]]

Error [RPC_CLIENT_ERROR]: 4000 child "activity" fails because [child "state" fails because ["state" is not allowed to be empty]]

so that is not a solution. You can paste in Non-Breaking Spaces, but that's not a very elegant solution, would be best to just get this preference.

Add support for cshtml files

Rich Presence Images Missing

Just noticed this today. Fresh installing the Extension and restarting Discord does not solve the issue.

• Latest Discord (Canary)
• Latest VSCode + Extension (Stable)
• Latest Win10 x64

EDIT: This may be due to API Issues. Will close the issue if that's the case.

Add multi-language support, so data in rich presence gets translated

Visual Studio 2017 Support

Any support for Visual Studio 2017 in the future?

No Discord Client Detected

• Windows 10 x64 1803 17134.112
• Visual Studio Code 1.24.1
• Discord Canary Build 18051

This issue has persisted for 4 days now (since Wednesday, June 27th). I've open/closed Discord & VSCode, Reinstalled the Extension, Disable/Enabled the Extension, Restarted Windows, and Cleared all temporary files, to no avail.

Pressing the Reconnect to Discord button produces the following notifications...

Any help would be appreciated.

Extension disfunctionning with C files

Hey there !
I've got a lil' problem to make this extension working with the C language on VSCode.
I'm on discord Canary & Fedora 26.

All of my .c projects are showing as "Idling" for Discord.
Works really good with every other language I tried 👍

Also, when switching to a working file (like settings.json) , when I go back to my C project it shows that I'm always editing my settings !

How do I fork it?

Not sure how to use?

Could you explain how to install and set-up more in the README.md because I am really confused on how to install.

Keep getting "Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: Cannot read property 'image' of null" after update

Heyo,

it was working fine yesterday. Saw it updated and now everytime I try to connect to discord I get this error instead.

[Request] Preference to display overall time rather than per-file

Love the Extension! Hoping for a preference to allow for the entire time elapsed that you've been working on a project for that session to be displayed in Discord rather than the time you've been working on a specific file.

Thanks

[Suggestion] Allow language IDs in the largeImageText

That would allow people to have custom largeImageTexts, like Editing a JS file or whatnot.
Also, if possible, adding an uppercase version as well.

Doesn't work.

I tryed a lot if things and stay without work, reloading, reinstalling etc. Help me

Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC:

Happening on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, I do happen to have spotify RPC enabled at the same time but upon disabling this the issue still persists

RPC Timeout

For some reason, every time I try to use it, it keeps giving me this error:

Can't connect to discord via RPC

I've been getting this error and can't seem to locate a source. I'm running VS Code v1.17.2 on the latest build of Windows 10. Not sure if it matters but I do have PFSense handling my routing.

Couldn't connect to discord via rpc: connect EPERM \?\pipe\discord-ipc-0

Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: Invalid Client ID

I keep getting this error whenever I try connecting to discord.

What's the default image key if asset not created?

I'm reading the code from https://github.com/iCrawl/discord-vscode/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L147 and was wondering what is the default key name if the file ext asset is not found (for large image)

Option to hide workspace when no workspace found

I cannot get "{null}" working for discord.lowerDetailsNotFound. Is it possible to add the ability to not show the workspace that to that property? I saw some of the previous closed issues which include it for other properties. I just want an empty line if there is no workspace found.

Could not Connect to Discord via RPC

Ever since yesterday the Plugin won't work on my Windows PC. I've tried adding VSC using the Games tab but that won't work either.

Here's the error I get
https://e-six-two.one/u/Joint-Stegosaurus-1.png

[Request] Posibility to show the git project

Just as it sounds. I would love a config option that shows the folder that contains both the file and the .git project.

Visual Studio Code
Editing main.py
Project Chess

Error Notification

Can we have it so that when "Discord" is not open, or I do not have internet, that it does not show this error message? I find it to be really annoying (the RPC cannnot connect). If it is better, aside from where it is detected to be open and you hvave internet, then the error message can be shown. Otherwise, maybe a log message in the little bar at the botom.

Could not connect - Ubuntu 17.10

Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10
Discord: 0.0.4
Visual Studio Code: 1.20.0

Error: Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC:

I do not see any mentions making it non-compatible with Linux, and having used this on my Windows machine, it's a great tool to have. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my laptop running Ubuntu 17.10 which is where I do the bulk of my code 😦

couldnt find a compatible version?

It is what the title says. It wont let me install it.

Where do the project icons get pulled from?

I would like to change the current icon that it pulls for Go to the new one they announced a few weeks back. https://blog.golang.org/go-brand.

Does this happen on Discord's side?

Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC

Help

Idling counter resets after 15 seconds

Example shown here:

Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: Error [RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT]

Started to happen a while back (a month ago). My Windows 10 PC hasn't done any updates before and since then. I never have anything with Rich Presence open at the time, either.

'No Discord Client detected!' even when Discord is open.

I've tried reinstalling this extension, but every time on startup it says that there is no client detected. I've added VS Code as a game in Discord and ensured that the option to display the running game is on.

Is there anything else I should try? Here's a screenshot showing the error with the Discord client next to it.
https://vgy.me/jHLrCE.png

Can't connect to Discord Canary RPC on Ubuntu 16.10

VSC is added as a discord "game", if that helps.

[Request/Question] Ability to Change elapsed time to total time inside vscode instead of per file

Hey,

The title pretty much sums up what I want to ask,
Is it possible to change it so that it counts the amount of time you have spent in vscode per session instead of the time elapsed per file in vscode (i.e disable the time update when you change file but keep the file/state name update).

I'm not asking for this to be changed for everyone just if its possible for myself to change it.

Thank you

[Bug] `discord.detailsEditing` setting is only respected after a reload

This seems like the config gets out of sync. Changing that variable to something else will only ever update after a reload.

Suggestion on file language detection

Currently this extension detect languages by itself with filename, but simply get it from window.activeTextEditor.document.languageId may be better. This also makes it possible to display correct language icon for matlab .m file and objective-c .m file, if user select correct language for themselves.

Also, there may be sub-type of files besides language, we can detect by the extension itself after get the languageId.

[Bug?] Potential Memory Leak upon Enabling/Disabling the Extension in VSCode while Spotify Rich Presence is active in Discord

I've not yet been able to confirm this, though this is the second time it has happened so I was curious if anyone else has experienced or can reproduce the issue?

Below are the actions I have taken each time this has happened:

• Open Task Manager (for monitoring RAM Usage)
• Open Discord
• Disable the VSCode Extension
• Reload VSCode
• Open Spotify, begin playing Music (make sure you have Spotify Rich Presence setup)
• Re-Enable the VSCode Extension
• Reload VSCode

If this repro works, VSCode will not re-open and your RAM usage will quickly jump to 100%, freezing your computer until you force shutdown. As stated, this is the second time this has happened to me. I'm not sure if this is a Bug on the Extension's end, Spotify's end, or Discord's end.

System Specs:

• Windows 10 (Latest Update)
• VSCode Stable Channel (Latest Update)
• Discord Canary (Latest Update)
• Spotify Desktop App (Latest Update)
• Discord-VSCode Extension (Latest Update)
• 12GB RAM

I frequently toggle this Extension off and on when I'd rather display my Spotify presence than VSCode Presence, which is why I've come across this issue. It'd be nice if there was a way to toggle the Extension's connection to Discord off and on without having to Reload VSCode each time.

Incorrect Display of File Type

editing pug files still show "jade" upon hovering on the pug icon in discord

Q: Is it possible to use this without installing the discord app

I use discord from the browser..

changeable picture

Is there a way we can change the pic on the presence?

Discord Presence breaks if Discord is restarted and VSCode restart attempts empty

So, I've noticed this weird bug with Discord Presence. (or discord-rpc, one of the two).

The easiest steps to reproduce this is:

• Launch Discord
• Launch VSCode
• Close Discord
• In VSCode, wait till all the errors from IPC connections end (no more popups saying cannot connect to IPC)
• Restart Discord
• Run the Enable Discord Presence Command

What should happen

Everyone is a good boi and resume the rich presence

What happens

Someone isn't a good boi and well, breaks.

Status stays after leaving VSC

After closing VSC the status disappears and all the info this extension gives disappears, which is obviously as designed, but then the status "playing: visual studio code" comes back.

So, i'm standing here with VSC closed and it still says i'm using it.

Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: [object Object]

I keep getting this error:

Here are my software specs:
VSCode:

Discord Canary:

Operating System (Mac OS):

Keep getting `Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: Invalid Client ID` error

How do i fix this?

Doesn't react nicely when discord is shut down

Request to use workspace project icon for largeImageKey

For example, when working on my personal bot, I have an icon.png file that's the default icon for the project, when editing that workspace, I'd love to have that icon be displayed as the largeImageKey. Another example would be when I forked the discord-vscode repo, there was an Icon.png that would've looked great as the largeImageKey.

I tried adding something myself but I'm not too familiar with TypeScript yet so I know I butchered the specifics. I looked into the setActivity() function and tried to tinker with some stuff on my own fork that ended up looking something like this gist.

I know there's gotta be a better way to do it but I just stumbled upon this project and love what it can do so it'll take me some time to get acquainted with TypeScript so I can be more useful.
