Error: attempt to index local 'response' (a nil value) on Linux.

[Crehab]

Description

Hello,

I'm encountering a persistent error with the plugin. It seems to be unable to get a valid response from the Discord client.

Error Message:
Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: ...ocal/share/nvim/lazy/presence.nvim/lua/presence/init.lua:358: attempt to index local 'response' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...ocal/share/nvim/lazy/presence.nvim/lua/presence/init.lua:358: in function 'on_done' ...l/share/nvim/lazy/presence.nvim/lua/presence/discord.lua:186: in function <...l/share/nvim/lazy/presence.nvim/lua/presence/discord.lua:185>

Discord Version:

• stable 432290 (d874666)
• Host 0.0.104 x64 Build Override: N/A Linux 64-bit (6.14.0-28-generic)
• Vencord 9329467 (Standalone)
• Electron 35.3.0
• Chromium 134.0.6998.205

Installation Methods:

• Discord is installed from the official .deb package.
• presence.nvim is installed using lazy.nvim with the LazyVim starter.

Troubleshooting Steps I've Already Taken:

Confirmed "Activity Status" is enabled in Discord settings.

Confirmed the Discord desktop client is running.

Updated all plugins with :Lazy.

Completely restarted both Neovim and Discord.

Confirmed Discord is not a Snap or Flatpak.

Cleared the Discord cache (~/.config/discord/Cache).

Cleared the Discord IPC sockets ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/discord-ipc-*).

The error still occurs after all of these steps. It seems to be a bug. Thank you for your help!

Neovim version

NVIM v0.11.3
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.1741730670

OS information

Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin)

Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

Start with a clean installation of the LazyVim starter.

Add the presence.nvim plugin to lua/plugins/presence.lua with the default configuration.

Restart Neovim. LazyVim will install the plugin.

Ensure the Discord desktop client (native .deb version) is running and "Activity Status" is enabled.

Open any file in Neovim.

The error appears in the notifications or when checking :messages.
