Panic when calling Set() on Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL

[Piccirello]

Calling keyring.Set() on Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL results in the following panic: panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range. On Ubuntu 18.04 on the same machine, keyring.Set() fails more gracefully, returning the error exec: "dbus-launch": executable file not found in $PATH. I've included a minimal PoC to reproduce.

OS: Microsoft Windows Server Version 1809

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/zalando/go-keyring"
)

func main() {
    if err := keyring.Set("my-service", "foo", "bar"); err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error: %s", err)
    } else {
        fmt.Printf("Success!")
    }
}

Thanks for reporting this. Since this panic happens deep inside the godbus library it may have to be reported there if there is a way to replicate it outside of go-keyring. As a first step we could try to update the library version and see if it has already been addressed.

[Piccirello]

Aha! That update seems to have fixed the panic:

Cool! Thanks for testing it!

[Piccirello]

Thanks for putting up a fix! Will there be a new release for these changes, or should I remain pinned to the specific commit?

[mikkeloscar]

@Piccirello We have made a new release now: https://github.com/zalando/go-keyring/releases/tag/v0.1.1
