Not working on nixos

[0cx96]

Same thing happening on nixos, just like #12.
But with different error.
Also look at the error path, it's in not in $HOME but /home/runner which does not exist on my system.
I'm using the nightly build but I have tried all the other builds too.

how did you install it on nixos?

how did you install it on nixos?

Appimage

[Postboote1]

WIth a derivation?
If so can you share the code?

I'm just using the provided appimage from the release. You can see in the error, i'm just running with "./raycast-linux.appimage"

[Postboote1]

can you try it with the newest release?

Tried, but same error.

And what happens when you use the derivation or the flake #6?

Turns out I had a fix for this issue in git stash, but I forgot to commit it 😅. This should have the fix: https://github.com/ByteAtATime/flare/actions/runs/16708486106

Still not working. Same error as stated.

I tried but it gave me error

[Postboote1]

what error did you get?

[ByteAtATime]

Can you run the new AppImage with RUST_BACKTRACE=full?

[gac3k]

For me it works just fine on nixos with custom derivation for now. However it seems that the *.desktop files are not fully recognized or not xdg directories are being parsed, because I can only see very limited set of applications available in the list @ByteAtATime

The ones that are present are often missing icons, and when I am trying to run them I am getting: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

That's a great work overall, I was thinking about writing my own myself and even started some time ago, but didn't have time to finish. Glad that somebody came with that great idea as well :D

[ByteAtATime]

Please file a new issue for the encodings error!

Does the new appimage at https://github.com/ByteAtATime/flare/actions/runs/16708486106 fix the applications issue?

@0cx96 I can't seem to reproduce the problem you are facing; if there are still problems, please file a new issue with more details!

can you provide the derivation?
