TwitchService.setup() doesn't work when ran from Steam on Linux (v1.3)

This is an oddly specific issue, but still real. When running an app from Steam, TwitchService.setup() won't work (either an error that can't be checked due to the absence of a console or maybe just a call never ending.

Running the app from editor or from executing the binary (not from Steam) will cause no problem, running the game from Windows on Steam doesn't cause any problem either.

This might seem weird, but Steam doesn't run processes exactly as your OS would. Some core Godot features don't work well when ran from a Steam process, and that's an issue that's been known already for some stuff. (example here)

If you have any way for me to give debug info, I'm up for it.

Since your addon is pure gdscript, I can link it to my debugging tool, which I will do to give you more info when I can?

The lock comes from the line OS.shell_open(url); in oauth.gd which doesn't trigger anything when launched from steam

I guess steam is sandboxing the application. So that malware can't access arbitrary files on the system. I don't have a steam game with I could test this issue or possible solutions. Maybe steam has its own functions to open a browser?

@ObaniGemini, I had this issue; the setup was not running. It turns out I was using the addon from Godot's addon library, which is very old.

I installed it manually, and it worked as expected.
