Doesn't recognize canary from flatpak beta channel.

[kaosine]

Using

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

I'm able to add flatpaks beta channel which gives access to canary without relying on my distros software. The only issue is that ctl doesn't recognize it or see it. I have to downgrade to regular discord which in my experience is buggier than canary. At least I've always had better luck with canary from flatpak.

What's the output of betterdiscordctl -i flatpak -f canary -v -v status ?

Nevermind, I forgot bdctl can only look for the stable flatpak/snap packages.

See if you can trick it with this:

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.var/app/com.discordapp.DiscordCanary/config betterdiscordctl -f canary -v -v status

Going to try that, I forgot I even submitted this ticket until just now.

Nope no dice won't inject:

Hey. Stumbled across this while trying to do same as OP.

It seems like the correct command is

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.var/app/com.discordapp.DiscordCanary/config betterdiscordctl -f canary -v -v install

Your command has "status" instead of "install".

Managed to get betterdiscordctl to install on canary from flathub beta.

Good workaround for the time being.

Hope this helps any future canary flathub users.
