GPG Agent fails in parallel: "gpg: decryption failed: No secret key"
Reported by Andy | June 7th, 2018 @ 09:29 PM | in 2.2.7 (closed)
Platform: Mac High Sierra
Problem:
Running multiple gpg commands in a terminal in parallel fail with
"gpg: decryption failed: No secret key".
One manifestation of this issue is opening multiple shells at the same time. I have a shortcut to spawn a series of tabs, and then they all load, it tries to source my .bashrc in each tab, which tries to run a gpg command, and none of the new shells are set up properly.
gpg-agent --version
gpg-agent (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.2.7
libgcrypt 1.8.2

Hi Andy,
this is very likely a limitation of GnuPG, so it is best to bring up this issue with the developers of GnuPG directly, via their mailing list: https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html
Thanks

I'm confused because the bug tracker for gnupg points here. Isn't this the right place to file this?

Hmm maybe I was confused looking at the gnupg site because the UIs are similar. I filed https://dev.gnupg.org/T4146
