Flatpak electron::socket-exists-error

[bajsicki]

Describe the bug

Nyxt fails to open due to existing socket.

I use XMonad, and for virtually all of the times I close programs, I use a keybinding of , ("S-C-M1-q", kill1) (doc: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Actions-CopyWindow.html#v:kill1)

Not sure if that's the cause of the issue or not, though.

On a different note, it would be nice if Nyxt either provided the location of the socket, or prompted the user for permission to delete the socket and continue.

Precise recipe to reproduce the issue

1. flatpak install Downloads/nyxt-electron-4.0.0-pre-release-1.flatpak &c.
2. flatpak run engineer.atlas.Nyxt-Electron
3. Close browser with a keybind (whatever works in your WM/ DE).
4. flatpak run engineer.atlas.Nyxt-Electron
5. See error.

Thanks for reporting the bug.

Until fixed, please delete the socket manually. The path is /run/user/1000/app/engineer.atlas.Nyxt-Electron/cl-electron/electron.socket.
