bug: config.lib.nixGL.wrap leads to missing Chromium extensions

[DocBrown101]

Are you following the right branch?

• My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

There seems to have been a similar error in #6016.

Here is an example configuration:

programs.chromium = {
    enable = true;
    package = config.lib.nixGL.wrap pkgs.brave;
    extensions = [
      "nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb" # Bitwarden Passwortmanager
      "eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh" # Dark Reader
    ];
  };

Workaround: remove config.lib.nixGL.wrap from programs.chromium.package to get back the defined extensions.

Hmm it's not immediately obvious to me how the wrapper would cause this. Do the files in External Extensions in the config dir end up being generated?

[DocBrown101]

What is the easiest way to check this?

[Smona]

looks like they should be in ~/.config/<chromium_or_brave_or_similar>.

[DocBrown101]

Without nixGL.wrap, the extensions are located in this path:
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/External Extensions

With nixGL.wrap the folder “External Extensions” does not exist at all.

Hello @Smona, could it possibly be because the name cannot be determined correctly and therefore the path is no longer correct?

[Smona]

@DocBrown101 great find! that could absolutely be the issue. Do the files end up in a ~/.config/nixGL-brave directory?

[DocBrown101]

Bingo!

I don't have time to test at the moment, but could you give #6632 a try?

[DocBrown101]

I would like to test this, but so far I have never had to. Are there any instructions on what I need to do to test this pull request?
