About Me

Hi! I'm Ayush. I'm a Linux Systems Administrator and a DevOps enthusiast.

I write my thoughts in my microblog.

I've started using SourceHut as my primary git forge and Codeberg as my primary mirror. I'll keep using GitHub as another mirror for now.

pass-tessen's Issues

xclip: -selection clipboard: No such file or directory

System properties:
pass-tessen version: 1.5.3 (git clone of latest)
OS: Archcraft x86_64
Bash: version 5.1.16
WM: openbox
Display server: x11

Steps to reproduce:
Using an X11 server, the main "copy to clipboard" behavior doesn't quite work:

`pass tessen

...

xclip: -selection clipboard: No such file or directory

Copied username to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
`

While the "Copied username" message is reported, the clipboard does not actually contain the username due to the previous error. The culprit is line 143 of tessen.bash:

143 printf '%s' "${1-}" | "$TSN_CLIP_CMD" "${TSN_CLIP_CMD_ARGS[*]-}"

I'm not a bash expert, but I believe the error has something to do with storing commands as variables rather than as arrays (http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/050). I have applied the following fix on my local version of pass-tessen:

143 printf '%s' "${1-}" | "$TSN_CLIP_CMD" "${TSN_CLIP_CMD_ARGS[@]}"

This fix has resolved the issue with this function.

I have noticed that same idiom for storing/referencing command args is used throughout this script, and I have not investigated much further than this.
