Unable to run EAF on NixOS under Sway

[onyxrain]

Describe the bug
Attempting to use EAF under NixOS results in EAF buffers appearing blank. For example, when trying to use eaf-open-browser, the resulting buffer is blank.

To Reproduce

1. Add the following to your NixOS config (derived from the wiki page):

environment.variables = {
  QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH = "${pkgs.qt6.qtwayland.outPath}/lib/qt-6/plugins/platforms";
};

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  git
  nodejs
  wmctrl
  jshon
  aria
  (python3.withPackages (p: with p; [
    pandas
    requests
    pyqt6 sip qtpy qt6.qtwebengine epc lxml pyqt6-webengine
    pysocks
    pymupdf
    markdown
  ]))
];

2. Clone and then install EAF with ./install-eaf.py --ignore-core-deps
3. Load EAF into Emacs as instructed and then M-x eaf-open-browser.

Expected behavior
EAF renders correctly.

Versions (please complete the following info):

• Distro and DE/WM: NixOS + Sway
• Versions of Dependencies:
  • Python 3.10.9
  • PyQt6 6.4.0

Additional context
The reason for setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH is as described on the NixOS wiki page, albeit for the Wayland platform plugin rather than xcb. I know this is more of a NixOS problem than EAF's fault, but I'd love to try out EAF on NixOS and I'm stuck on Wayland for HiDPI. Thanks!

It looks your qt or pyqt can't work, I don't use Nix, can't help you.

No worries, I understand NixOS tends to cause problems. However, I've managed to set QT_PLUGIN_PATH to make EAF find the required library, but the buffer is still totally blank. *eaf* looks like this:

After adjusting the two scripts in swaymsg-treefetch to use #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/bin/bash, it almost works. It initially appears blank, but renders in like this after eaf-toggle-fullscreen. It seems to fight with sway quite a bit as well.
