Git-secret: "git secret reveal" is not working on Mac.

[ghost]

I have existing project which use "git secret". I have my key added to it. When I try to decrypt cryptic files nothing happens. I have installed "git-secrets" via brew.

Steps to reproduce this issue?

1. Run "git secret reveal" on mac.

I have to do decryption manually with "gpg --decrypt" command which is ugly. While doing that I have the window for opening password like that (with abracadabra symbols): http://prntscr.com/gtzud9. Moreover this symbols appeared while creating the key (form for entering and confirming the password).

Versions of software I am using:
Operating system: (macOS Siera)
**git-secret path: (/usr/local/bin/git-secret)
git-secret version: (0.2.2)
Shell type and version: (GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16) )
gpg version: (2.2.1)

Yeap, thanks! That's a known issue.

This happens because gpg change its api.
As a workaround you can downgrade to version prior to 2.1

When will [email protected] be supported?

@Vinlock when 0.2.3 will be released. It should happen soon.

How do you downgrade gpg on Mac? Where can we find the exec? I installed it with brew and we all know brew is not a real package manager...

Is the release going forward?
Sounds like there is now way to use git secret currently. This is quiet big.

Not sure why this issue was closed? git secret reveal still doesn't work on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 using gpg 2.2.3 (it just silently fails). "Just downgrade gpg" doesn't seem like a practical solution.. Guess it's time to consider alternatives.

@michaelt55 @joan38 could you please try a develop branch? It should be fixed there.

[joan38]

I will try, but what’s blocking the release of the next version?

[sobolevn]

Some minor bugs to fix and to stabilize release process.
