Subject: Solved: Bug: org-encrypt-entry fails [9.1.2 (9.1.2-elpa @ /Users/dmm/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20171004/)]

Message-ID: <0C24D65A-573A-4359-888E-8DA9C2F138E9@gmail.com> (raw)

Solved. 
Problem was that in graphical mode I saw no password prompt. Failed without a useful failure message.
Perhaps org-crypt could be improved to catch this situation?

Starting emacs in a terminal worked, as the password prompt was in the originating terminal window.
On a Mac, I tended to start emacs from the dock, so no terminal.

Solution was to follow the instruction in pinentry. 
I then added (pinenty-start) to my .emacs init file.
No org-encrypt-entry prompts for a password in the minibuffer.


pinentry is a built-in package.

     Status: Built-In.
    Version: 0.1
    Summary: GnuPG Pinentry server implementation
Other versions: 0.1 (gnu).


This package allows GnuPG passphrase to be prompted through the
minibuffer instead of graphical dialog.

To use, add "allow-emacs-pinentry" to "~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf",
reload the configuration with "gpgconf --reload gpg-agent", and
start the server with M-x pinentry-start.
