Hi all,
I'm trying to use an encrypted .netrc.gpg to hold my Gmail password for
.mbsynrc. Here's what my PassCmd is set as:
PassCmd "gpg --quiet --batch --no-tty --decrypt ~/.netrc.gpg | sed -n -e
's,^machine gmail\.com login joesmoe10 password \(.*\),\1,p'"
If I run `mbsync -l gmail`, it errors with:
"Skipping account gmail, password command produced no output."
If I replace PassCmd with `Pass $MY_PASSWORD`, the previous command works.
I've tested the PassCmd by itself with bash and it produces the correct
result.
And, I just found the solution from
https://sourceforge.net/p/isync/mailman/message/33624055/ Wrap it in a
subshell like so.
PassCmd "echo $(gpg --quiet --batch --no-tty --decrypt ~/.netrc.gpg | sed
-n -e 's,^machine gmail.com login joesmoe10 password \\(.*\\)$,\\1,p')"
Why does wrapping the command in a sub-shell work? I tested the following
command which had a pipe and it worked so I'm not sure why my original
command doesn't work.
PassCmd "echo $MY_PASSWORD | cat"
