Works like a charm! ❤️

-    inherit name;
-    paths = [ binary ];
+in stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {


I don't really get why we have to use the NoCC version here? It has little benefit.

+  nativeBuildInputs = [ wrapGAppsHook ];
+
+  buildCommand = ''
+    makeWrapper "${binary}/bin/ssb-patchwork" "$out/bin/ssb-patchwork" \
+      --prefix XDG_DATA_DIRS : "${gsettings-desktop-schemas}/share/gsettings-schemas/${gsettings-desktop-schemas.name}" \
+      --prefix XDG_DATA_DIRS : "${gtk3}/share/gsettings-schemas/${gtk3.name}" \


this is an improper use of wrapGAppsHook.
Please read https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#ssec-gnome-hooks, it exists so you don't have to do this.

It also should automatically wrap everything at $out/bin. If you make a symlink here for ${binary}/bin/ssb-patchwork $out/bin/ssb-patchwork you shouldn't have to do anything.

I would prefer an automatic solution but it doesn't work here.

Could you explain why? If you can't you can just use the makeWrapper with the arguments wrapGAppsHook collects "${gappsWrapperArgs[@]}".

We could probably backport this bugfix to 20.03

flokli · 2020-03-27T09:04:31Z

This uses a buildFHSUserEnv under the hood - I'd expect things to just work out of the box inside one ot these, so wrapGappsHook or other custom wrapping shouldn't be necessary at all.

@jtojnar, @tilpner, could you take a look?

Gsettings-schemas are relocated in share/gsettings-schemas/${name}/glib-2.0, not the fhs location. I would obviously be very familiar with this 😕

I have little knowledge about how gsettings is supposed to work, and what this gschema.compiled is.
Here's how you can play with the FHS env interactively:

$ APPIMAGE_DEBUG_EXEC=bash /nix/store/md7rlyjkkzl84pimmwmh3qs986czs1rf-Patchwork-3.17.6/bin/ssb-patchwork
bash-4.4$ find -L /usr/share/gsettings-schemas
/usr/share/gsettings-schemas

bash-4.4$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/home/tilpner/.nix-profile/share:/etc/profiles/per-user/tilpner/share:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/share:/run/current-system/sw/share

It seems like a version of gschemas.compiled is installed, but buildFHSUserEnv might not set XDG_DATA_DIRS at all. If it's supposed to, you can try adding

profile = ''
  export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/...
'';

to

             inherit name; 
        
             targetPkgs = pkgs: [ appimage-exec ] 
        
               ++ defaultFhsEnvArgs.targetPkgs pkgs ++ extraPkgs pkgs; 
        
             runScript = "appimage-exec.sh -w ${src}"; 
        
           } // (removeAttrs args (builtins.attrNames (builtins.functionArgs wrapAppImage))));

wrapGAppsHook will add the gsettings-schemas directories to XDG_DATA_DIRS via the glib setup-hook https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/glib/setup-hook.sh#L2.
You've confirmed what I've said here, we don't install gsettings-schemas into their default location, so we have to use wrapGAppsHook to include the gsettings-schemas.

flokli · 2020-03-29T17:55:10Z

But didn't this PR state that simply adding wrapGAppsHook didn't work?

worldofpeace · 2020-03-29T18:07:33Z

wrapGAppsHook being added also just automatically wraps. Maybe manual wrapping is needed, but you still need wrapGAppsHook to collect gappsWrapperArgs.

picnoir · 2020-03-29T18:21:34Z

Stupid question from a GTK noob here: why do we need to wrap the binary to add these schema in the first place? The appimageTools.wrapType2 function we're using in this package is in charge of creating an FHS env containing among other things GTK3. Ain't this FHS environment supposed to provide the ${gtk3}/share/gsettings-schemas/* schemas? Why are we missing them there? Is there a particular reason why we rather should wrap this particular binary instead of adding these schemas directly in the appimageTools.wrapType2 function, thus making sure we won't end up facing the same issue in other appImage bindists?

As I've said, in nixos we have a setup-hook that relocates all settings schemas to share/gsettings-schemas/${name}/glib-2.0/schemas. The FHS location would have been usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas. We can fix this problem by having the FHS chrootenv install them in that location #83705. That PR should obsolete this.

I just realized I forgot the obvious in my previous message: thanks a lot ehmry! This particular bug has been a personal pain for a while. My current workaround was to fire up patchwork from my shell environment, which was fixing this problem for a reason I failed to identify. Anyways, kudos!

ehmry · 2020-03-30T12:02:44Z

While this patch may fix Patchwork in the short-time, I'm closing the PR in favor of the general fix, #83705.
