How do I enable a specific GNOME extension from terminal?

Question

How can I enable a specific GNOME extension from the terminal?

Linux distribution: Fedora 34 Workstation GNOME

I want to activate "dash-to-dock" from the command line.

I have seen this question: How do I enable and disable GNOME extensions from the command line?
But it’s for all extensions, not for just one.

I have tested this command, but it does not work.

pc-hostname :: username :: ~ >> gsettingsgsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions "['[email protected]']"
pc-hostname :: username :: ~ >>

Add to your post the output generated by that command you ran on the terminal too. — Jorge Luiz, Commented Nov 17, 2021 at 19:38
Oh i'm sorry I edited my post. No output, the command returns nothing. No error, no message, but does not activate the dash-to-dock extension. — Maxime, Commented Nov 17, 2021 at 20:42
Is the linux distro which you're trying doing that procedure Fedora? What's version? Add to you post that info too, please — Jorge Luiz, Commented Nov 17, 2021 at 21:25

You can enable that extension with:

gnome-extensions enable [email protected]

N.B.: I don't use that extension, but it's the usual way to to enable extensions from the command line.
