File uploading does not work in Flatpak

[kevin0xf]

As the title says, upon uploading a file via discord-screenaudio, I am met with an error.

[maltejur]

I can not reproduce this, can you share some steps that lead to that error and maybe the file you are trying to upload?

[kevin0xf]

The file didn't matter.
I can state some system information though.
I'm on Arch Linux 5.19.5-arch1-1 running the GNOME desktop environment with the wayland display server.

Upon compiling discord-screenaudio for my machine, the issue has resolved itself automatically, beforehand I was using the version on flathub.

[maltejur]

Great to hear that you resolved the issue, but it seems this still is an issue with the Flatpak.

[maltejur]

This probably has something to do with the Flatpak sandboxing and missing filesystem permissions.

[maotovisk]

it's flatpak sandboxing for sure

you can use the flatpak override command or flatseal to expose the filesystem, solving the problem.

The filepicker should be still working btw, I think this issue only affects drag-and-drop. I am not sure if I want to add --filesystem=host though to fix the drag-and-drop issue (that kind of goes against the flatpak sandboxing).

[NelloKudo]

Yeah the only issue is flatpak sandboxing, it is a thing even with Discord's official client.
The fix is to simply give access using Flatseal to the needed folders or rather to /home files.

I think you can close the issue, not really a clientproblem

[maltejur]

This should still be fixed for the flatpak imo, I'll do that later

Fixed in flathub/de.shorsh.discord-screenaudio@65fdc88

[maltejur]

Fyi this behaviour has been changed again in flathub/de.shorsh.discord-screenaudio#11, see https://github.com/maltejur/discord-screenaudio#drag-and-drop-doesnt-work-in-the-flatpak.
