Plugin fails to launch non-steam programs/shortcuts

[rrazgriz]

Entries in the steam library that are non-steam games/programs/shortcuts will show up in search, but will not launch when selected. These non-steam entries should launch directly, and should not offer a context menu with store/news/uninstall options.

This seems to be related to the launch_game method using a URI to launch game entries, which fails for non-steam shortcuts on my system.

That's very strange. The URI should work for all Steam library entries.

If you add a Non-Steam game to desktop does that shortcut work for you?

[rrazgriz]

Yes, it does seem to work. Adding 7-zip as a non-steam game doesn't launch through the flow launcher plugin, but when adding a desktop shortcut, it works (results in the following shortcut):

I get the following flow launcher log entry whenever attempting to launch an entry like this:
22:42:33.8261-04:00 - WARN - JsonRPCPlugin.ExecuteAsync - Empty JSON-RPC Response.

Here's my shortcuts.vdf for reference.

Sorry could you please post the full error log?

[rrazgriz]

Sorry for the delay, lost track of this.

Here's a log consisting exclusively of the application starting up, and trying to run a non-steam shortcut: 2023-08-02.txt

23:55:28.0596-04:00 is the timestamp at which I try to run a non-steam shortcut.
