Does not open

[nielsk]

I installed the app via home brew and it just does not open.

When I start it from the cli from inside the Contents-folder inside the Application-bundle it just does nothing but at least it turns up in Activity Monitor.

Where are settings or other parts stored? Maybe deleting them might help since I had the app installed in the past.

I am on macOS 12.3.1 if I am not mistaken.

Sorry, but this does not help. What does it mean "does not open"? Do you see any error message? Is the icon appearing in the status bar? Can you load the Safari extension? Do you find anything in the logs (though the console.app)?

How am I supposed to find the problem without any clue?

I am very happy to help, but need more information, any hint.

me too and I found before 0.11.2 it works. No errors, can load extension but just don't launch.

I think it's because we are zsh users. /bin/zsh with -i option in https://github.com/adur1990/Pass-for-macOS/blob/56a826a43514ed36641f9eb135cb0ca4415bd7d6/passformacos/Passwordstore.swift#L23 stucks the following script.

import Foundation
import os.log
let task = Process()
task.launchPath = "/bin/zsh"
task.arguments = ["-i", "-c", "echo $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR"]
let pipe = Pipe()
task.standardOutput = pipe
task.launch()
print("launched")
let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
print("stucked")
var passwordStoreUrl = URL(string: "test")!
if data.count > 1 {
    var passwordStorePath = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue)! as String
    passwordStorePath = passwordStorePath.trimmingCharacters(in: .newlines)
    passwordStoreUrl = URL(string: passwordStorePath)!
} else {
    let userHome = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["HOME"]!
    passwordStoreUrl = URL(string: "\(userHome)/.password-store")!
}
print(passwordStoreUrl)

What does -i mean is confusing for me. Here's the explanation. But it works without -i.

[nielsk]

Yes, I use zsh

But otherwise: I do not have further information. The icon does not appear, the safari extension does not say that the app is loaded. There is nothing in the console. Even if started on the cli, the app "hangs" after hitting enter, when I use: /Applications/Pass\ for\ macOS.app/Contents/MacOS/Pass\ for\ macOS

after change to fish and reboot, passformacos can run. Hope just drop the -i would not introduce some unexpected bug.

[adur1990]

Hi,

thank you for the additional information. The -i option forces the called shell to be interactive, so that Pass for macOS can parse the output. Without an interactive shell, the called pass command will not output anything. The strange part is that zsh also supports -i. I will investigate as soon as I can.

[adur1990]

So, I investigated the error and can not find any issue. The -i option is required to enforce an interactive shell. With an interactive shell, the default rc files are read (like ~/.bashrc or equivalent for other shells), where the $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR variable is defined. Without -i I have no other option to get this variable.

However, in my testing with zsh, I have not figured out any issues. It works on my machine, so I assume that the real problem is somewhere else. I would really appreciate if you could see if there are any logs in console.app. Otherwise I can not help, sorry.

[ErnestDong]

Thanks! I found https://iterm2.com/shell_integration/zsh stops me using passformacos. Sorry for bothering and thanks for your package.
