What happens when the bug or crash occurs?

Launching the application passes the "Loading Vesktop" foxgirl (:3), and then stays on a blank window.

Dev tools' console reports the following:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'can')

It's unclear if this is caused by a plugin (of note is a few "patch had no effect" warnings a little above). I'm not sure how to disable them outside of the GUI that is not launching... ><

Edit: I forgot to mention, but the bug did not happen until today. I restarted Vesktop normally after applying the last update a few days ago, so I'm not sure what changed.

What is the expected behaviour?

Vesktop launching as usual.

How do you recreate this bug or crash?

1. Launch Vesktop
2. Easy reproducer, for once!

I get these from the AppImage, but not the AUR package. The issue reproduces on both, though.

Request Agreement

• I have searched the existing issues and found no similar issue
• I am using the latest Vesktop and Vencord versions
• This issue occurs on an official release (not just the AUR or Nix packages)

Ah, I didn't check in the closed issues. My bad. Thank you for your time!

Unfortunately, the fix presented over there (I do not have a tray, so pasting Vencord.Updater.update()) does not fix the issue.

I get a Promise object, and awaiting that just returns true, but restarting Vesktop (again, no tray, so AFAICT no persisting processes) still yields the same. 😅

[ISSOtm]

I fixed it by running Vesktop.Settings.store.tray = true in the DevTools Console, which immediately enables the tray. Then that can be right-clicked to "Update Vesktop", which did work!

cc @Vendicated if you want to add that to #669's post.

Thank you very much for working on this! ^^

Same happened to me, where Vencord.Update.update() just returned true instantly, but after manually running Vencord.Update.checkForUpdates() and then re-running Vencord.Update.update() it actually updated to latest and fixed itself.

All of this using vesktop-bin from the arch user repositories.
