qprocess won't start about qtpass HOT 18 CLOSED

@annejan can you use the modern.ie vm for this or do you need a new one?

from qtpass.

I would prefer to have qprocess launched than using a vm...

@arnauldb I'm assuming @beefcurtains meant for me to test it in a Windows VM since I don't (normally) run Windows ;-)

Quick question though, did you use my installer or compile QtPass yourself?

from qtpass.

ok, I misunderstood. I used your installer qtpass-0.8.4.exe. Then I launch QtPass, fill in the fields to generate a new key pair. Then I have a screen saying "generate GnuPG keypair" that lasts for 10, 20 minutes...until I close it. Then, after closing, an other error message "password store not initialised". And

I have installed Windows 8.1 (64bit) and have the same thing happening indeed.

It seems to be something that can happen on all windows versions though. Thanks for reporting this.
Will keep you updated on how the fix is going . .

Thank you, and thanks for your work.

Can you confirm https://github.com/IJHack/qtpass/releases/tag/v0.8.5.1 fixes this issue?
In my test VM the recent changes fixed this issue completely . .

Hello,

no, it doesn't work for me. I completely uninstalled previous versions, but I still have the error message saying Qprocess doesn't start. And the window for generating the keys lasts for hours. Here is my config in QtPass

from qtpass.

The QProcess::FailedToStart is caused by hanging process..
I'm guessing the keygen never worked or is requesting more input or something, and/or you already have a GPG keypair but the keyring couldn't be opened (had that sometimes).
Will try and replicate on new VM tomorrow.

Hey everyone
I have the same error (Windows 8.1 64bit). Although I used TortoiseGit to clone my existing password repository beforehand, QtPass says QProcess::FailedToStart. So my guess its not only about the keygen but something with the connection to gpg2.exe

Now wondering . . could it be that weird slash "tent" in the path /\ that is breaking things?

from qtpass.

I just ran into a similar issue (using the latest release version, v1.0.2, 01e696e). QtPass wanted to create a keypair for me on start, resulting in the process indicator spinning endlessy. Closing the window and cancelling the options dialog got me the main window with the same "QProcess::FailedToStart" error.

My solution: The .password-store folder didn't exist (C:\Users\user.password-store). I changed to path to C:\Users\user\pass because Windows does not like folder names that start with a dot, created the folder manually and things started to work.

I'm not sure if this really is related to this issue, needs someone else to give my solution a try.

I have the exact same problem on windows 10, using version 1.03.
The solution given by ghtyrant worked for me, thanks!
Btw thanks for you amazing work annejan.

from qtpass.

I'll look into not (trying to) create(ing) a folder that starts with a dot on windows.
I can imagine how from historic p.o.v. an empty foldername with an extention can be a problem on the Windows platform.
I'll resort to creating a 'normal' hidden folder on Windows.

It seems sometimes a process-timeout on the (pretty timeconsuming) keypair generation can still be a problem too. I'll keep that in mind during the refactoring of the process-handling and all I'm currently doing.

Started work on this cae2eed, will need Windows machine to test (tomorrow)

from qtpass.

Well, this seems to work after 02c3745 and 7482b42

Proper Windows hidden file . .

I can't seem to break this anymore on WinXP, Win7, Win8 or Win10 (modern.ie VMS)
