Cannot enter a group

[ykgoon]

kdbx can be opened, groups are displayed.

But upon pressing enter we stay on the same page. No entries are seen.

I'm on emacs version 28.0.50, that probably is a big factor.

I am also using 28.0.50 and this works well for me for all files I have at hand. What's the name of the folder? I had a problem during early development with folders and entries with unexpected characters. Try to rename the folder using KeepassXC, and retry. Of course, I recommend using a copy.

Have you tried to open this file and take a look into this folder with keepassxc-cli? Have you tried with another file and keepass-mode and is still happening?

Dir name is normal, no spaces or special char.

Tried this, no problem.

It's my one and only file.

This problem only started last week. Nothing else changed except emacs version, which is updated almost daily.

[ifosch]

It's weird it started last week. The only thing changed since January is a documentation change. Might it be related to a keepassxc-cli update happening last week? Which versions are you using of keepassxc and keepass-mode? One approach to be able to reproduce would be you share a copy of this file, with passwords changed or removed, so I can try on my setup.

My versions:

• keepassxc-cli 2.6.4
• keepass-mode 20210125.301

Here's a newly created kdbx file, problem is reproduced on my end. Password is 1234.

I couldn't reproduce on my end, i.e. I open it ok. I'm using keepassxc-cli 2.6.2 and latest keepass-mode 20210110.630. I don't think keepassxc-cli version difference is doing a lot. Instead, I don't know how you got this keepass-mode version, which doesn't seem to exist anywhere on melpa. How did you installed keepass-mode?

[ykgoon]

Thanks for checking @ifosch. I'm on Spacemacs, this is how it's installed.

     (keepass-mode :location (recipe
                              :fetcher github
                              :repo "ifosch/keepass-mode"))

[ifosch]

What's the last commit for your keepass-mode install? Also, could you try to recompile all ELisp code?

The other possible reason is something pretty different between keepassxc-cli 2.6.2 and 2.6.4. Looks like they didn't released a deb package for 2.6.4, so maybe you can look into downgrading your keepassxc-cli to 2.6.2. This would validate the problem is not in the emacs side.

Further investigation: basically key mapping isn't working except for backspace.

It's behaving as if RET and c are both not mapped to any function all.

However running keepass-mode-select directly on a group would work flawlessly, bringing me into the group as expected.

So my suspicion is that something is stopping this from working.

[ykgoon]

I got it: evil-mode is getting in the way. I turned off evil-mode for the buffer, everything worked again.

I can't explain why it wasn't a problem a few weeks ago; maybe evil-mode got upgraded and has a clash of keybinding.

I dunno elisp well enough to have a solution on top of my head.

[ykgoon]

When running evil-mode I need to go into editing-mode in order to operate as usual.

It's not ideal but it's not quite a bug either. Let's close it for now.
