Pre-backup shell script issue

[P-Jay357]

I'd like to have a pre and post backup script, to list all installed packages, flatpaks and gnome extensions, so that they get backed up, and then maybe a post backup script which just deletes these afterwards. I'm using Fedora Linux.

My pre-backup script works fine when I use Pika backup, but as I'd like to have 2 repositories for the same config I've decided to look into using Vorta. It also works fine when I run it manually in the terminal. However, when I run it as part of a Vorta backup, the script returns a non-zero code. The 2 directories are created, as is the dnf_packages.txt file, but it's empty.

I believe it may be an environment or similar issue (as I have Vorta as a flatpak), but I'm not 100% sure. There's nothing in the Vorta logs about the pre-backup script being run, never-mind it encountering an issue.

Here's the bash script:

#!/bin/bash

# Create directory for backup extras
BACKUP_EXTRAS_DIR=~/BackupExtras
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_EXTRAS_DIR" || { echo "Failed to create $BACKUP_EXTRAS_DIR"; exit 1; }

# Create directory for package lists
LISTS_DIR=$BACKUP_EXTRAS_DIR/Lists
mkdir -p "$LISTS_DIR" || { echo "Failed to create $LISTS_DIR"; exit 1; }

# Backup DNF packages
if ! dnf repoquery --userinstalled --queryformat '%{name}' > "$LISTS_DIR/dnf_packages.txt"; then
    echo "Failed to backup DNF packages"
    exit 1
fi

# Backup Flatpak packages
if ! flatpak list --app --columns=app | awk '{print $1}' | paste -s -d ' ' - > "$LISTS_DIR/flatpak_packages.txt"; then
    echo "Failed to backup Flatpak packages"
    exit 1
fi

# Backup Gnome extensions
if ! gnome-extensions list --enabled > "$LISTS_DIR/gnome_extensions.txt"; then
    echo "Failed to backup Gnome extensions"
    exit 1
fi

echo "Pre-backup script completed successfully."

Using the RPM instead of the flatpak seems to have fixed the issue.
