GPG CLI --batch not working on OSX
Reported by bensima (at gmail) | July 18th, 2014 @ 03:06 AM | in 1.2 (closed)
I run the following code:
gpg --decrypt ~/.lein/credentials.clj.gpg
and it works; I enter my passphrase and decrypt the file.
I run the following code:
gpg --batch --decrypt ~/.lein/credentials.clj.gpg
and I get the following error:
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 6BDD8069, created 2014-03-12
"Ben Sima <Bensima@gmail.com>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
I have no idea what's wrong. I originally found this problem while trying to push a library to Clojars. Here is a related ticket: https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/issues/1349
I haven't been able to get any of those fixes (hard-restart
gpg-agent) to work for me.

I figured out a solution. My fix is this:
- Open
~/.gnupg/gpg.confin vim or some other text editor - Scroll to the bottom of the file and add
use-agent, or find that in the file and uncomment it
Now it works like a charm. (Thank god for Arch Wiki)

Hi bensima!
Which version of GPG do you use?
I think this behavior is expected in version 1.Regards, Mento
