Hey @johnrichardrinehart.

Thank you very much for your report. It seems like the library espanso currently uses to clone packages ( libgit2) , does not deal well with encrypted credentials.

I'll look at the problem as soon as I can and get back to you when I find something.

Thanks for your help :)

Hey @johnrichardrinehart,
Unfortunately, I tried to reproduce your issue many times without success, it always works fine on my machine, even with encrypted ssh credentials.
Could it be that perhaps you encountered a temporary error not due to espanso?

Cheers :)

Let me check in ~12 hours.

@federico-terzi Please leave this open for a bit (if it's been more than a week since I can return to this then feel free to close it). I'm in the middle of a big sprint at work.

No problem @johnrichardrinehart, take all the time you need :)

Ran into this myself. Following along.

@unn @federico-terzi I'm awful at making time for this. I'll do some tests within the next 30 hours.

I'm sorry you both experienced issues guys. If we can't come up with a solution, I'll implement an alternative channel to install packages that doesn't depend on git, so that you can still install the packages.

Cheers :)

No stress about timing from me, but thanks for being so on top of it.

Hey guys,

I'm currently pushing version 0.5.3 out with an alternative package provider which should work in your case. You can now download a package with the --no-git option:

espanso install <package_name> --no-git

Let me know if it works for you.

Cheers :)

Works as expected!

Works as expected!

Great! :) I'll keep the issue open as it shouldn't happen with the default provider and someone may come up with a solution in the future. At least now we have a backup plan.

Cheers :)

@federico-terzi I forgot to post the results of my tests. I created a password-less RSA key, but 0.5.2 still failed to install packages with the same error code and message.

I've installed 0.5.3 and can confirm that --no-git works. Failure to use --no-git fails, though, still with the same error code and message

>  espanso install shruggie

Index updated!

Hey @johnrichardrinehart ,

Thank you for experimenting this further, at this point I can say quite confidently that password-protected RSA keys are not the cause of the issue (as it should be).

Cheers :)

@federico-terzi That seems true. Thanks for issuing this new flag.

Do you know the cause of the problem?

@johnrichardrinehart Unfortunately, I don't. I tried in many ways to reproduce the issue without any success...

In the grand scheme of things that's just fine with me.

Thanks @federico-terzi .
