Opening link in sway does not work (xdg-open works)

Help
1

If I open try to open a link in a desktop app (e.g. element) nothing happens. If I do the same thing with xdg-open it works.

My config for the portal is modules/wayland.nix · master · Florian Engel / nixosconfiguration · GitLab

I start sway with modules/wayland.nix · master · Florian Engel / nixosconfiguration · GitLab. I also tried adding `dbus-run-session` like suggested here Issue with xdg-open in sway - #2 by ketamin00 . Which did not change the behavior.

dbus-monitor shows

did you enable desktop portals?

try:

xdg.portal = {
        enable = true;
        xdgOpenUsePortal = true;
        wlr.enable = true;
        extraPortals = with pkgs; [
            xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
        ];
    };

Yes, I linked above to the part of my config that does that.

sry, didnt see that.

you use homemanager, i have no experience with that. regardless i once had this problem and it turned out to be systemd related. i fixed it with:

programs.sway.extraSessionCommands = " systemctl --user import-environment PATH # fix: xdg-open"

@StillerHarpo did you fix it?
