Gnome-Shell: Unable to extend the PATH env variable on Wayland

I want to be extend the PATH environement variable so that I can run custom script via the run command prompt (Alt+F2).

I tried this to do it via .profile and .bashrc


    λ › cat .profile                                                             
    export PATH=/home/cedlemo/.gem/ruby/2.5.0/bin:$PATH
    λ › cat .bashrc                                                               
    #
    # ~/.bashrc
    #
    # If not running interactively, don't do anything
    [[ $- != *i* ]] && return
    alias ls='ls --color=auto'
    PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
    export PATH=/home/cedlemo/.gem/ruby/2.5.0/bin:$PATH


It works fine on the Xorg backend but not on the Wayland backend.

I also tried to create a *.conf file in the ~/.config/environment.d/ directory. So I have that too:

    λ › cat ~/.config/environment.d/80-ruby.conf         
    PATH=/home/cedlemo/.gem/ruby/2.5.0/bin:$PATH


But it does not work. I asked the same question on the gnome mailing list but it appears that the previous solutions were working on Fedora and Debian for the Wayland backend. Did someone here have been able to extend its PATH variable on the wayland backend?
