[BUG] Console errors when launching, and the window disappears when clicking anywhere else

[josh-sukheja]

Environment

• NixOS 25.11 (unstable packages)
• home-manager
• Gnome 48 (Wayland)
• Linux kernel 6.15.6

Describe the bug

1. When launching drata-agent via the terminal (because it's not available as an app in the Gnome app launcher), the below errors are always logged. Third line from the bottom is when the app window opened, and I Ctrl-C'd the process. I'm not sure yet if these errors are important or not.

2. Once the app window opens, clicking anywhere else outside of that window will make it disappear, and I have no way of bringing it back into focus.

• It's not a running app that Gnome recognises so it's not in the bottom dock.
• Opening Gnome's workspace/all-windows view doesn't show it.
• Running drata-agent in a second shell silently exits with nothing happening.
• No new logs are shown at any point in the first shell that launched drata-agent.
• I can still Ctrl-C the process in the shell that launched it to quit the process.

To Reproduce

1. Use this flake in your system:

# flake.nix
drata = {
  url = "github:ddlees/drata.flake";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

# somewhere-else-using-home-manager.nix
home.packages = [
  inputs.drata.packages."x86_64".drata-agent
];

2. Run nixos-rebuild switch and then drata-agent.

Expected behavior

• The app is available as a GUI app known to Gnome?
• The app doesn't log errors?
• The app window doesn't disappear when clicking anywhere except its window?

I figured out the window disappearing issue. The app requires the Gnome extension appindicator: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/.

This can be added to a NixOS system like this (if using home-manager, not sure about without):

programs.gnome-shell.extensions = [
  {
    package = pkgs.gnomeExtensions.appindicator;
  }
];

I still need to launch drata-agent from the terminal, but I can probably create a simple SystemD service for that.

The app errors in the agent's logs are also still present. But the app has let me register (by manually putting in the code, the browser couldn't auto-open the app to register) and I now have the agent in my account. It can't auto-detect a lot of things about my system so most things I need to upload screenshot evidence for.
