Gnome-extensions list command doesn't work when called from service

Platform

It seems that gnome-extensions list works fine when called just from the terminal and lists extensions. But when it is called from service, it doesn’t.

Script (1):

#! /bin/bash
gnome-extensions list > /tmp/log

Systemd unit file /etc/systemd/system/rot13.service:

[Unit]
Description=ROT13 demo service
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=1

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/ibse/main.sh # path to the script (1)
Type=simple

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I run the service sudo systemctl start rot13 and /tmp/log file, where gnome-extensions list command was redirected, is created, but empty.

When I run gnome-extensions list from the terminal it lists:

example@gjs.guide
ext1@ext.com
ext2@ext.com

The tool gets the list of extensions from gnome-shell via D-Bus, so you can indeed not use it outside a user session.
