Hey, is there any updates on the state of this?

[HyunggyuJang]

@rycee Sorry to mention; can you take a look?

[Lalit64]

@teto, Is it possible maybe to add an option to where you can specify the package to pkgs.emptyDirectory and way to specify configDir.

I tested this and I don't believe extensions are working correctly here because the cursor package is wrapping an app image https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-24.11/pkgs/by-name/co/code-cursor/package.nix

I’m using it so far (about one month), there were no issues. This change is just setting the user config location appropriately so that the cursor can look up for it.
You might find my config helpful: https://github.com/HyunggyuJang/nix-config/blob/master/darwin/configuration.nix#L791

Ah, on linux side, things might be different as you said it is using app image, haven’t tested that. It might be a tricky issue. @tylergets Do you have any idea to resolve that?
