Jrnl: MacOS Sierra Keychain

[wwwdata]

Hi,

I have a problem when trying to use the MacOS Sierra Keychain to store the journals password. I have installed jrnl via homebrew. Storing the Password in the keychain outputs the following error:

Do you want to store the password in your keychain? [Y/n]
Y

Could you try pip install -U keyring ?

In order to do that I also had to install python via homebrew which I did. But this didn't change anything.

I then removed the homebrew installation of jrnl and also installed jrnl with pip. I now use the version 1.9.8. Homebrew had the version 1.9.7. The installation from pip works with the Keychain. Where does this version 1.9.8 come from? The latest release here on github also says 1.9.7

[maebert]

1.9.8 should be the latest release on the 1.x branch - I don't maintain the homebrew formula myself, so it's fairly possible that it's out of date. Did that fix the issue?

Hm, we should check homebrew now I guess and upgrade that. Many users will install it via brew because they install everything with it.

[maebert]

Agreed, I'll get on to that!

@maebert any updates on getting the latest version on homebrew? I just tried pulling it and got 1.9.7

What actually helped me was to go to keychain. Lock the Login keychain and then unlock it again
