Verify: verifying an encrypted text fails
Reported by Alex (via GPGTools) | March 18th, 2011 @ 01:00 AM | in Q1 2011
Workflow:
1. Highlight text
2. Service > Encrypt (+ Sign)
3. Highlight text
4. Service > Validate
Expected:
1. No signature found, or
2. Valid signature, or
3. Invalid signature
Instead:
Unable to verify due to an internal error

This is somewhat complicated.
verifySignedData:inputData originalData:nilreturns an array of signatures or throws an exception. For all encrypted messages without a sig, it returns an empty array. This translates to "we have verificable text but no signatures were found".The documentation doesn't mention the possibility of the method returning an empty array so GPGServices assumes this is an internal error, which is correct in my opinion.
Just deciding "empty array means the encrypted text wasn't signed" is not a good way of handling this. The best way would be to get some more informations into the documentation MacGPGMe.

Maybe you could start using the new libgpgme(?) Roman worked on...

@mento:is it stable/feature complete? it might be a good start using some unit tests for this core lib.
