Pshazz SSH agent does not work

[tommarcoen]

I followed the steps in https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/SSH-on-Windows but it doesn't work for me. I have the following apps installed (I also tried with openssh instead of git-with-openssh).

PS C:\Users\marcoent\Documents> scoop list
Installed apps:

  7zip 18.06
  coreutils 5.97.3 {32bit}
  curl 7.63.0
  dd 0.6beta3
  gcc 8.1.0 {32bit}
  git 2.20.1.windows.1
  git-with-openssh 2.20.1.windows.1
  grep 2.5.4
  mc 4.8.19 [extras]
  neovim 0.3.3
  openssh 7.6p1
  pshazz 0.2019.02.04
  sed 4.2.1

When I SSH into a server with ssh username@example.org I am asked for the password of my private key and after entering it, I'm logged into the server. Excellent! However, once I log out and want to log back in, I have to enter the password of my private key again.

PS C:\Users\marcoent\Documents> ssh-add -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

So I expect the tutorial is missing some crucial bits between installing pshazz and everything magically working.

My $profile contained: try { $null = gcm pshazz -ea stop; pshazz init 'default' } catch { }. After changing the theme to something and back to the default, I got asked to enter my private key password. After entering it once, I was able to SSH into my server multiple times without entering the password.

The same problem in the latest pshazz installed by scoop in win11

Although following these steps, it remain fail to work.

@tommarcoen, could you clarify what you mean by "changing the theme"?

I changed jobs since three years ago and I haven't been using this software since so I am not sure what I meant or what I did in detail. I will try to install the software again and go through the steps once more to provide more details, should the issue manifest itself again.
