Jetbrains Rider profiler fails to start

[anpin]

Describe the bug

Jetbrains Memory Profiler fails to start due to missing dependency

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run Rider
2. Open memory profiling tab

Expected behavior

Plugin works

Screenshots

Additional context

The plugin uses avalonia under the hood, so adding following list of libraries to ldpath should do the trick (waiting for the update to finish to verify that):

with pkgs.xorg; [
        libGL
        libX11
        libXi
        zlib
        openssl
        libICE
        libSM
        fontconfig
        gtk3
       ]

here is what I have tried. it doesn't fail to load libraries any more, but fail to start nonetheless. perhaps it tries to create a folder under /nix/store/... where binaries are. see log in attach.

@anpin Did you ever get around the issue with Size should be >= (1,1) when you try to activate the profiler on a project?

It is reported as this issue on Youtrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/DMRY-10986/Size-should-be-11-Parameter-name-size-EXCEPTION-1-2-ArgumentException-Message-Size-should-be-11-ExceptionPath however I'm not sure if it's caused by Nix or by Rider doing something strange

[anpin]

Haven't seen that error, profiler works just fine for me after applying above overlay.

Haven't seen that error, profiler works just fine for me after applying above overlay.

Just out of curiosity, or you using Rider from stable or unstable nix? Because I believe stable is still on the 2023.x series?

[anpin]

I'm using this fork which I rebase to master/nixos-unstable when needed. Currently it has Rider 2024.1.1
