Running shadow client on nixos

Help
1

I am having trouble using shadow (https://shadow.tech) on the current nixos.

I am using this repository to setup shadow GitHub - cornerman/shadow-nix: Supporting Shadow under NixOS and use it in my config like this: nix/shadow.nix at 632282558dad4d17e7bfc6dc4ad8fb828b03098d · cornerman/nix · GitHub.

This has worked before but now suddenly stopped working. Now I am getting this error message when building my config:

Builder called die: Cannot wrap '/nix/store/z2rnjllg0f9anl3yhlhmzi9k8401cc27-shadow-preprod-8.0.10012/opt/shadow-preprod/shadow-preprod' because it is not an executable file
Backtrace:

I would appreciate any hint, how to fix this or where to look.

I solved it. The problem was that shadow has renamed the binary inside the AppImage. I have updated the shadow-nix repository.
