lpvs fails without error about lp-vault-manager

[avallen]

I tried but did not receive any debug output from lpvs and only the following line when doing lpdd - which had been there before already.

[INFO: alfred.workflow.input.keyword] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg ''

Could it be that the pre-release version that is offered under the above link still points to the previous version - it says:

bachya released this 2 days ago.

[bachya]

Good morning Andreas – sorry to hear you're having trouble.

It sounds like you are able to execute `lpass export from Terminal? If so, the problem definitely lies with my side.

Could you run lpsettings within Alfred, select the 4th option ("Edit Config File"), and paste those results here?

[avallen]

Thanks Aaron,

yes lpass export runs fine. Here is the output from "Edit Config File":

{
  "general": {
    "browser": 3, 
    "cache_bust": 300
  }, 
  "lastpass": {
    "path": "/usr/local/bin/lpass", 
    "username": "[email protected]"
  }, 
  "passwords": {
    "length": 14, 
    "number": 10
  }
}

[bachya]

Thank you. That all looks good.

Let's go a level deeper:

1. Open Alfred Preferences, right click on "LastPass Vault Manager", and select "Show in Finder".
2. Open Terminal and type python – do not hit ENTER yet.
3. From Finder, drag lpvm.py into Terminal; this should effectively leave something like python /some/path/to/lpvm.py.
4. At the end of that string, type search-vault "<QUERY>" – replace <QUERY> with a valid query.
   • Your Terminal should now show python /some/path/to/lpvm.py search-vault "<QUERY>".
5. Hit ENTER.

Let me know what gets output and we'll go from there.

[avallen]

Great instructions, thanks. The resulting output is the following:

[bachya]

Well that is very odd, indeed – that's exactly the XML I would expect. In fact, if I hardcode it into my lpvs Script Filter, I get what you'd expect:

Let's try one other thing: inside the lpvs Script Filter, change:

/usr/bin/env python

...to:

python (so that the entire script reads python lpvm.py search-vault "{query}")

Any difference?

[avallen]

Yes, after this change and a restart it now shows the following error - this time searching for google which should exist too:

[avallen]

Here's some debug output that goes with it:

[ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 0: 00:13:40 workflow.py:1598 DEBUG    Loading cached data from : /Users/andreas/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/com.bachya.lpvm/vault_items.cpickle

[bachya]

Would you be willing to share your cash to data with me? You can get the path from that Alfred debug info. It only contains URLs and host names, so there shouldn't be anything damaging to you there. Feel free to email it to me at [email protected].

I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to Terminal, but I can't seem to get past the python stage. I just get:

-bash: python/Users/mattkneale/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.9E41EC43-4013-41AA-9C2C-A21A4B5B88D7/lpvm.py: No such file or directory

EDIT: Scrap that, no space after python before dragging. Whoops! Here's what I get now:

16:04:24 workflow.py:2113 WARNING Can't save last version: workflow has no version
16:04:24 workflow.py:1969 DEBUG Workflow finished in 0.673 seconds.

[bachya]

Thanks, Matt! Looks like I could use some better debugging info. :) Hang tight while I look into some things; I may have both you and Andreas try a pre-release build with more debugging.

No problem :) Thanks for your work. FWIW I love the look of the workflow, and it's still pretty cool for generating passwords quickly on the fly so still useful even if we can't get it resolved!

[bachya]

Appreciate that! We'll get this squashed, don't worry – I want you to experience the full benefits of this workflow. :)

Could you confirm whether your lpvs Script Filter starts with python instead of /usr/bin/env python (and whether that makes a difference)?

Let's hope so!

/usr/bin/env python, and can confirm it makes no difference if I remove the /usr/bin/env.

[bachya]

@avallen – I loaded the data you sent my into my cache and was able to query it just fine:

So, this tells me that the issue might be environmental. Still experimenting, but wanted to let you know.

[bachya]

@avallen and @MattKneale – I've updated the 3.2 pre-release with more debugging; would you mind:

1. installing the updated workflow (https://github.com/bachya/lp-vault-manager/releases/tag/v3.2).
2. Re-running lpdd and posting the debug output from the Run Script action connected to it.
3. Re-running lpvs <QUERY> and posting the debug output from the Script Filter itself.

Thanks!

I'll try this later tonight/early tomorrow :) Just out at the moment.
Thanks for your efforts Aaron.

@avallen It's the same release; I just added a different .alfredworkflow file.

That's interesting that you don't see any debug output from either; you should definitely be seeing XML and other results.

So, we've figured out that:

1. Running the script by itself gives the correct results.
2. No debug output or results appear when running the same script within Alfred.

Is there anything special about your environment? What version of OS X and Python are you using?

No idea RE: python (can't even remember installing it; how do I find the
version?)

I'm on the beta channel for Yosemite... probably should have mentioned that
sooner!

Interesting... @avallen, what about you? Are you on a Yosemite beta, as well? I'm running full-fledged Yosemite... I wonder if that's a problem.

Version is 2.7.6.

Yosemite is 10.10.2

No, I'm not on the Yosemite beta channel, instead running the regular current Yosemite version (10.10.1).

Python version in Terminal (with PATH having brew's /usr/local/bin prepended) is:

andreas:~/Downloads $ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
andreas:~/Downloads $ python --version
Python 2.7.9
andreas:~/Downloads $ brew info python
python: stable 2.7.9 (bottled), HEAD
https://www.python.org
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.6 (4663 files, 73M)
  Built from source
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9 (4860 files, 79M) *
  Poured from bottle
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/python.rb

Not sure about the python version in a launchd environment however, if alfred uses that, it might pick up the system python under /usr/bin instead.

Hi Aaron,

I've installed 3.2 with no success regretfully. Could you clarify how to access the debug outputs of the scripts? Still a novice to this!

[shkm]

@MattKneale This what you're after?

Thanks @shkm

@bachya lpdd output:

[INFO: alfred.workflow.input.keyword] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg ''

Nothing comes up when running lpvs

[bachya]

Well guys, this is stumping me. Interestingly enough, I'm starting to notice it happen on my side, too: I'll type lpvs <QUERY> and nothing will show up. If I close and re-open my Alfred search, things work as expected. It's a stumper.

I'm currently working on a complete rewrite that makes it much cleaner to see where things are going on. Once it's ready, I'll report back here and would love to have you test. Assuming it continues, I'm going to exercise the nuclear option and ask the Alfred forum participants for help. :)

Stay tuned!

No problem, sorry it didn't work as planned! Look forward to seeing the
next version.

Best,

Matt

ALRIGHT, gentlemen – I may have implemented something that works, here (at least, for me, the issue no longer occurs). Among some other changes, I modified the updating of the vault to happen in a background process (so there's no change it'll hang on Alfred's thread).

Try the new pre-release of 4.0 and let me know?

https://github.com/bachya/lp-vault-manager/releases/tag/pre-v4.0

(I also snuck a couple of new features in there, as you might be able to tell from the release notes.)

[AnxiousGummi]

A quick comment from a:

• Fresh Macbook owner (my first one)
• First experience of Mac Os X
• First experience of Alfred
• First experience of lpvs

Now, I was experiencing both this error and the one in #2 and so far the pre-release of 4.0 has done the trick for me.

Quick note: For complete Mac beginners (like myself) it would be helpful to elaborate a little bit on the installing of the Alfred workflow itself. Being an old Linux user, the Homebrew installation of lastpass-cli was easy but I was stumped for a little while on how to install the workflow. It's always the simple stuff.

Anyway, thanks for your amazing work.

[bachya]

Roger that @AnxiousGummi; when 4.0 gets officially published, I'll add some installation verbiage.

[avallen]

Hi Aaron,

Great to see that you are planning a new release. I just found the time to test the pre-release, unfortunately however it doesn't fix the original issue for me - lpvs still stays blocked with "Searching vault..." with no debug output.

Additionally I see another issue in that I seem not to be able to login anymore. After selecting "Login to LastPass" the alfred prompt shows lpsettings lastpass-login but I cannot submit the login - pressing return again does not effect anything, the prompt still contains the login command and there is no output to the logs. The terminal would not open as it did before.

Maybe it has to do with the unspecified scriptfilter error that is shown in the log when invoking the settings?

[bachya]

Something's going wrong with outputting Script Filter XML on your side – the reason lpsettings lastpass-login isn't working for you, I'm guessing, is because you're already logged in; in that case, you should see this Script Filter:

That "Code 0" error is a generic error that means the workflow received some text it wasn't expecting. In this case, however, it's misleading: Alfred is merely saying that it doesn't know what to do with that DEBUG statement (which is fine).

What does the debug log look like when you run the lpvs command?

[bachya]

@avallen – there's another individual on the Alfred forum who seems to be experiencing what you are. Since I can't reproduce it faithfully, I wanted to let you know that I'm asking the community for help (http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5356-script-filters-via-python-seem-to-sporadically-not-work/). Hopefully, we'll get it resolved soon!

@bachya I've ran the 4.0 pre-release and this time get the "No items matching "x". See lpvs debug filter for more information".

[avallen]

@bachya - I had a look at the forum post you mentioned (http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5356-script-filters-via-python-seem-to-sporadically-not-work/) and analyzed whether the use of the system python /usr/bin/python could be the culprit, but just executing the various workflows script from the commandline seems to work with the system python (Yosemite's is version 2.7.6) as well as with my brew-installed python under /usr/local/bin/python (2.7.9).

Maybe this helps.

[bachya]

@avallen – unfortunately, no. :( I've implemented all of the advice given, but I can't see any tactical difference. There's something fishy going on with Alfred, but I'm not sure what it is at the moment. I will continue to dig.

[hakusaro]

Hi,

I'm also experiencing an issue where lpvs [anything] returns no results. I'm on OS X seed 10.10.2, and I'm happy to provide any debug output needed. This is on the 4.0 pre-release after a fresh install of release didn't work. It also says getting new data, but never does?

I'll add myself among those experiencing apparently the same problem. I definitely am getting the

[INFO: alfred.workflow.input.keyword] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg ''

When running the lpdd command.

[bachya]

Thanks for the feedback @nicatronTg and @jlongrc; this is a bugger of a bug. What happens if you open the workflow's folder in Terminal and run /usr/bin/python update.py? What output do you get?

[hakusaro]

@bachya I was prompted for my master password twice when I ran that, and got:

[bachya]

Thanks, @nicatronTg – it's good to see this line:

12:26:10 update.py:26 DEBUG    639 vault items cached.

Now, if you run lpvs and search your vault for a site you know exists, what do you see?

[hakusaro]

@bachya that definitely caused it to kick in gear -- maybe it lost the login state somehow?

[bachya]

@nicatronTg Very intriguing. Will you do me a favor? Install this pre-release of 4.2, run lpdd again (which should blow away your existing cache and re-download it), then try lpvs again?

[hakusaro]

@bachya looks like it worked out of the box.

[bachya]

@nicatronTg Let's do one last "nuclear" test. :)

1. Open the directory that holds the cached data: open ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow\ Data/com.bachya.lpvm
2. Delete all files in that directory.
3. In Terminal, run lpass logout --force to log yourself out.

With all that done:

1. Run lpsettings and select Modify LastPass Settings >> Login To LastPass.
2. Assuming that goes well, run lpvs build01 – you should see a result that says "Getting new data from LastPass."
3. Wait approximately 5 seconds.
4. Run lpvs build01 again.

Let me know where any breaks occur.

[bachya]

@avallen @MattKneale @shkm @AnxiousGummi Gents, would love for you to try out the new pre-release, as well; I think/hope we're closing in on resolving this issue. Instructions above.

[avallen]

@bachya - I followed the instructions above, but I do not see the "Getting new data from LastPass." message.

lpvs now says "No items matching <search term>". This does not change after doing a manual lpdd.

Here's the debut output of an lpvs invocation:

[bachya]

@avallen What happens if you open the workflow's folder in Terminal and run /usr/bin/python update.py? What output do you get?

[avallen]

I get the following output and am asked from the lp master password in the process:

andreas:~/Dropbox/Applications/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.C3F178CC-1C72-4B5A-9C98-5D5AE1599900 $ /usr/bin/python update.py

[bachya]

I'm glad to see this line:

00:55:59 update.py:26 DEBUG    644 vault items cached.

What happens now if you run lpvs?

[avallen]

yay! Now it works :-)

[bachya]

Okay! I think we're zeroing in on what's going on: it seems like LastPass is getting logged out, but instead of notifying you, the workflow just hangs.

A few more questions:

• If you run lpsettings and select Edit Config File, what is the value of the path key under lastpass?
• In Terminal, if you log out of lpass (lpass logout --force), what happens when you run lpass ls? What gets output?

[hakusaro]

@bachya that one got into a worse state than before:

E: that was following earlier instructions. Trying your latest stuff.

[hakusaro]

@bachya here's some info for you:

Path: "path": "/usr/local/bin/lpass",

➜  user.workflow.4F4FFD37-3D0E-4B09-9D9D-1F19B8520032  lpass logout --force
Log out: complete.
➜  user.workflow.4F4FFD37-3D0E-4B09-9D9D-1F19B8520032  lpass ls
Error: Could not find decryption key. Perhaps you need to login with `lpass login`.

Edit: lpdd doesn't do anything at all for me -- no notification is posted so I'm assuming the script is hanging. During this time, lpass ls still works and lists sites like it should.

[avallen]

@bachya, sorry for the delay, here we go:

Path key value is: "path": "/usr/local/bin/lpass",

The output is the same as for the previous user:

andreas:~ $ lpass logout --force
Log out: complete.
andreas:~ $ lpass ls
Error: Could not find decryption key. Perhaps you need to login with `lpass login`.

Additionally: If I try to use lpvs now, then it says:

Pressing <Enter> however won't have any effect.

@bachya Unfortunately 4.2 broke it entirely for me. Here's the error:

[bdsivak]

I am actually having the same issue -- except when I run lpvm from the command line, I get the following error:

15:07:17 workflow.py:1978 ERROR No module named LastPassVaultManager

I'm using 4.2. Any ideas? I can login just fine and other functions such as lpbrowser seem to work.

[jacob-long]

I've gone through the same process as @avallen and now it seems to be working (at least, for the past few minutes). Using 4.2 pre-release. It definitely did not work until I ran update.py in terminal from the workflow's folder.

What I wonder now is whether changes to my vault will get pushed to LPVM? Or if I will likely need to go back through this process? Hopefully my feedback is helpful, and I'll let you know how it behaves as time goes on.

[bachya]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay. These issue(s) are a bugger; I can't reproduce them on my side at all.

I'm wondering if there's something procedural going on. Let me walk through what I do and see if it lines up with you. Note that I'm using the 4.2 pre-release.

Downloading Data

When I run lpdd via Alfred itself, this is what I see in the logs for that "Run Script" (not the lpdd "Keyword" itself):

[ERROR: alfred.workflow.action.script] Code 0: 11:46:45 workflow.py:1386 DEBUG    Reading settings from `/Users/abach/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.bachya.lpvm/settings.json` ...

(The most relevant line comes from utilities.py; 369 items were cached.)

Searching the Vault

Then, when I run lpvs amazon, I see the following in the lpvs "Script Filter" log:

[ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 0: 11:48:33 workflow.py:1386 DEBUG    Reading settings from `/Users/abach/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.bachya.lpvm/settings.json` ...

11:48:33 workflow.py:1996 DEBUG    Workflow finished in 0.021 seconds.

...and I see what I'd expect:

Logging In and Out

When logged out of LastPass, I see this:

Hitting ENTER causes Alfred to re-search for this:

(The full line is: >/usr/local/bin/lpass login [email protected] && exit.)

When I hit ENTER, a Terminal opens and I'm asked to enter my LastPass master password; once done, Terminal closes. Then, lpvs <query> works as it did before.

---

Is there anything I've described here that, tactically, is different than what you're doing?

[bdsivak]

Many things seem to be different for me. For example, when I run the lpdd command via alfred, all I get in the log is:

[INFO: alfred.workflow.input.keyword] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg ''

I get no log messages when running lpvs.

What's interesting is that when I run lpvm via the command line, this is the result:

[bdsivak]

I definitely have the most current version but I'm happy to uninstall and reinstall. Is there a recommended way to uninstall which will remove config files, etc.?

[bachya]

@bdsivak Try this: right-click on the workflow in Alfred and delete it outright; then, install the 4.2 release and see what happens.

[bachya]

@MattKneale It looks like your version is failing to run lpass. Can you open the config file (open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data/com.bachya.lpvm/settings.json) and show me what values you have in it?

Hi @bachya here's the settings.json:

}
}

@bachya did that, same behavior. Just as another example, when I run lpsettings lastpass-login, nothing happens (there's no response), and no generated log info in the debug panel (although I do get log info for lpsettings and lpsettings list-lp-settings).

[warthurton]

I don't want to just me too, but I am seeing the same issue. lpsettings lastpass-login does not fire the login script. Doing it from the terminal python lpsettings_query.py will fire the login.

Force logging out lpass logout --force will allow the alfred shorcut to run.

[warthurton]

OK. I think I've figured it out.

Many of my sites require a password reprompt. This causes things like lpass export and lpass show to require re-authentication. If you run the scripts manually it opens the login screen. But... if you use the script workflow component that prompt is never shown.

When you look in the process list you will see many python download-data get-details (not real names) process running. These never finish.

I'm trying to figure out how to have the same reprompt that the workflow uses to handle this. Not sure if it will work.

I'll let you know what I figure out.

FOLLOWUP There is no way to tell if the password requires re-authentication. I can see in the lpass-cli code where it is stored in the datastructure, but that isn't exposed anywhere through the commandline to query. Unless we run everything through a run in terminal, somehow spawn some other interactive prompt, or see if we can patch some gui password prompting into lpass-cli, I'm stumped.

Bummer I really wanted this. I'll keep thinking.

It looks like my ticket was closed, so I will post my issue here.

When I did this command:

python /Users/Brandon/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.EAFF1D69-B788-407C-8B7A-6DD63E81C1C5/lpvm.py search-vault "amazon"

I get this result:

I've the same error of a lot of people, (no items matching "whatever.com").
I've tried to understand why, and I've found out that it fails under lpvs_query.py in the function output_details_results(). Here it calls the utilities.py function search_vault_for_query().
I don't know why, it should return a dataset in result but it ends up empty.

I've tried the commands under lpass and they work like charm

[bachya]

@markerx: that Terminal command references a file that has since been removed (it is no longer present in the source), so it's going to fail. A more accurate (and perhaps more relevant) test would be:

/usr/bin/python /Users/Brandon/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.EAFF1D69-B788-407C-8B7A-6DD63E81C1C5/lpvs_query.py search-vault-for-query 'amaz'

@giulios123: When you say you "tried the commands under lpass," what do you mean?

@warthurton: Thanks for digging so much. What's stumping me: why does it run fine on my rather vanilla setup (and several others), yet fail on still others?

[giulios123]

I mean that commands like lpass export works perfectly showing my passwords, so at least in my case is not lpass related the issue... while is related on the way it's fetched and filled the result dataset in the specified methods. any idea?

[bachya]

@giulios123: Not really, unfortunately. Like I mentioned above, the workflow works exactly like it should on my machine.

I fear that something in Alfred is amiss – if you run:

/usr/bin/python /path/to/lpvs_query.py search-vault-for-query '<QUERY>'

...do you see the XML you expect?

[giulios123]

no that's the point... it ends up 23:24 utilities.py:221 DEBUG Search results: None which makes me think the problem is in the result list... which seems to be empty...

[bachya]

@giulios123: If you run:

[giulios123]

@bachya I took the freedom to debug a little more... I've found out in the method search_vault_for_query under utilities.py the method cached data is failing to fill results with the required passwords (aka, is None)
line 204 -> results = self.wf.cached_data('vault_items', None, max_age=0)

and I receive the same output

[giulios123]

Update, after doing lpdd_exec.py download-data I finally see passwords... but have I to do it every time?

[bachya]

@markerx: Looks like it cached 1,268 vault items, which is good. What happens if you run lpvs now?

@giulios123: That's expected; by default, if you have no cached LastPass vault items, a background process gets spun up to go download them; in the meantime, that function returns None (as you note), which I handle higher up the chain.

It looks like lpvs is failing to download cached results if they don't exist on your end. Again, unfortunately, I don't have that problem on my side, so I'm not sure what to debug.

I am not sure how you guys are getting those screen shots, my alfred bar disappears before I can get a screen grab :)

[markerx]

@bachya where would I add this line?

export LPASS_AGENT_TIMEOUT=0

[bachya]

@markerx: Depends on what shell you use – if you use Bash, you'd put that in ~/.bashrc; if you use ZSH, you'd put that in ~/.zshrc.

[markerx]

@bachya -

So here is where we are at:

When using Terminal:

• lpdd_exec.py download-data works.
• update.py works.
• lpvs_query.py search-vault-for-query 'github' works.

In Finder

• my vault_items.cpickle is populated

In Alfred

• LPDD does not seem to update vault_items.cpickle, nor display any debug information in Alfred.
• LPVS does not seem to work, nor display any debug information in Alfred.

I bet you never thought about the can of worms you would be opening by attempting to share a Alfred Workflow with the community :)

[giulios123]

@bachya Ok, I think I got one step forward, I've found out why it doesn't update and why LPDD is not working properly (and obviously, why I had to create manually the vault). It seems that the lpass version we are using (last one), requires master password download all the passwords, so each time we ask lpdd to update our pass, it get stuck at the request. (I think is a setting under lastpass website itself). Is there any way during the update process to open the terminal to insert the masterpass?

[giulios123]

@bachya can you do lpass --version for me? Because I think I've found a possible failure point.
