firefoxpwa : No such file or directory (os error 2)

[Thatoo]

Describe the bug

After installing firefoxpwa and installing one PWA, when I try to launch it, I get this error : No such file or directory (os error 2)

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install firefoxpwa this way in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix :

   
   { config, pkgs, lib, inputs, ... }:

{ environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ inputs.nixpkgs_unstable.legacyPackages."${pkgs.system}".firefoxpwa ]; programs.firefox = { enable = true; package = pkgs.firefox; nativeMessagingHosts.packages = with pkgs; [ browserpass inputs.nixpkgs_unstable.legacyPackages."${pkgs.system}".firefoxpwa ]; };

2. Install firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/
3. be sure this folder exists : ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ to solve this issue : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/301194
4. Install a PWA
5. Launch the PWA
6. Get the following error : `No such file or directory (os error 2)`

### Expected behavior
The PWA should launch

outputs = inputs@{ self, nixpkgs, ... }: {

nixosConfigurations.default = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
  system = "x86_64-linux";
  specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
  modules = [

[filips123]

I think the error happens when the program tries to launch the runtime, but firefox binary doesn't exist. Please also check if ~/.local/share/firefoxpwa/runtime/ exists and if it contains Firefox installation, and if file permissions are set correctly (at least read and execute).

Permissions look fine, so I don't know what's the issue. Maybe the package maintainers can take a look at this. I will maybe take a look at this in the future, but I currently don't have time and any NixOS installation, so unfortunately it may take a while.

Also, a bit more details: Considering that "Launching the web app" gets printed, the launching should have been executed at least until here. The site.launch was probably also executed, as it doesn't contain any calls that could fail (except launching the runtime at the end). So, the only place where this error could happen is runtime.run.

(Also, I should probably improve these error messages to tell more precisely where the error happened and which file didn't exist... I will try to improve this in the future.)

[pasqui23]

Did you try to install the latest firefoxpwa from nixos-unstable and check if a pwa does run?

[Thatoo]

Indeed as there is no firefoxpwa for 23.11 stable.

[pasqui23]

Have you tried deleting .local/share/firefoxpwa and then adding back manually a pwa?

[Thatoo]

I didn't and when I tried, it solved the issue, thanks!
