in pass we have (line 101)

    local gpg_id
    while read -r gpg_id; do
        gpg_id="${gpg_id%%#*}" # strip comment
        [[ -n $gpg_id ]] || continue
        GPG_RECIPIENT_ARGS+=( "-r" "$gpg_id" )
        GPG_RECIPIENTS+=( "$gpg_id" )
    done < "$current"

howeverprs consider the complete line as UserId and no whatever before the ' # ' only

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add remarks to gpg_id entry in the .gpg_id file

Something like:

21347213469hdsaklfha # username <username@whatever.com>

~/.cargo/bin/prs edit ali

3, Change something

save and exit

prs, will now say it can not find the ID (After inspecting with export RUST_BACKTRACE=1)

Expected behavior

prs should not care if entry has ramarks or not.

if it helps

in my implementation of pass pass simple I've used simply

Pseudocode

line.split(" ")[0]

Sorry I'm not a Rust developer and I can not just submit PR, but I can gladly test and confirm problem solved after it will be fixed.

Thanks for your report!

I cannot reproduce this myself, but did add logic for stripping comments from fingerprints.

Would you mind to compile from source and give the latest commit from master a spin to see if that fixed it?

The bad news

It did not worked, While pass Does work

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents/prs$

the good news, I've tested the code that filters and it filters right

Created simple project with

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents/test/shalom/src$ cat main.rs
use std::fs;
use std::path::{Path};

fn read_fingerprints<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Vec<String> {
    fs::read_to_string(path)       
        .expect("Failed to read input")
        .lines()
        // Strip comments
        .map(|fp| match fp.split_once('#') {
            Some((fp, _)) => fp,
            None => fp,
        })
        .map(|fp| fp.trim())
        .filter(|fp| !fp.is_empty())
        .map(Into::into)
        .collect()
}

fn main() {

    // Stores the iterator of lines of the file in lines variable.
    let lines = read_fingerprints("/home/ubuntu/.password-store/.gpg-id".to_string());
    // Iterate over the lines of the file, and in this case print them.
    for line in lines {
        println!("***{}***", line);
    }

}ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents/test/shalom/src$

It seems to ignore the content of this row completely, is it intended.
I've tried to debug but cargo build failed with

So I'm unable to put breaking points with vscode

I can put println for you in the code if you'd ask me to.

Thanks shemeshg

Ok I got this,

1, Yes we solved the problem of the remarks

We have different issue where prs search keys by full id only

This will not work

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/.password-store$ gpg --list-keys
/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
-------------------------------

sub   rsa3072 2023-02-17 [E]

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/.password-store$ cat .gpg-id
800421D3A4728717
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/.password-store$

This will work

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/.password-store$ cat .gpg-id
E68783F3D26DBF30EEA62C6A800421D3A4728717 # albert alban <albert@microsoft.com>
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/.password-store$

What I thought would happen

prs will search using something like

Example from cpp pgpme project https://github.com/shemeshg/gpgme-cmake-example/blob/b0a9cad212e22779547da1e7aeb99c06b715162d/libpgpfactory/libpgpfactory.cpp

Like within pass it will search by id, full id, email, full name, etc... by the built in gpgme find key function.

std::vector<GpgKeys> GpgFactory::listKeys(const std::string pattern, bool secret_only)
{
    std::vector<GpgKeys> retKeys = {};

    checkCtxInitialized();
    gpgme_key_t key = nullptr;
    gpgme_error_t err = gpgme_op_keylist_start(ctx, pattern.c_str(), secret_only);
    while (!err)
    {
        err = gpgme_op_keylist_next(ctx, &key);
        if (err)
            break;
        GpgKeys k;
        k.foundUsingPattern=pattern;
        setGpgKeysFromGpgme_key_t(k, key, retKeys);
        gpgme_key_unref(key);
    }

    if (gpg_err_code(err) != GPG_ERR_EOF)
    {
        std::throw_with_nested(std::runtime_error(gpgme_strerror(err)));
    }
    return retKeys;
}

if found more then one, throw exception and not continue,
if not found, it will throw exception and not continue,

Now, it silently ignore the ID, and there is a risk that user will restore his data, and find out it can not read it because they have counted on ignored ID.

Screenshot example from c++ debugger

As you can see in gpgme there is keyId (short notation) and fpr (long notation)

solving this might also solve issues #16 (Where the keyId referred as keygrip)

Question

Should I open different ticket for that, or can we keep using this one?

The code you've suggested is exactly the same as what happens internally, for stripping remarks off the fingerprints.

What happens when you run the following?

prs housekeeping sync-keys

Also, do you have the same issues when running prs with different backends?

cargo run --no-default-features --features backend-gnupg-bin -- 
cargo run --no-default-features --features backend-gpgme --

Hope I've done it correctly, the short id notation fails to sync

files created with echo full_id>.gpg_id' andprs housekeeping sync-keys` is passed
files created with echo short_id>.gpg_id' andprs housekeeping sync-keys` failed

The short notation to produce in browser terminal from long notation might be

let a= "E68783F3D26DBF30EEA62C6A800421D3A4728717"
undefined
a.substr(-16)
'800421D3A4728717'

Test with gopass also ok (in addition to pass) - not sure if it is relevant

The ubuntu I have is a virtual test/dev machine, so I don't mind

destroy the ./passwordstore folder,
empty all users
run a test procedure from scratch that you will provide
document that and post it here

I got this issue on production machine too with a (macos)

Ok Heres the tested fix I got, I'll upload a pull request (without the debug line)
