Using passphrase callback in ruby gpgme

Question

I am using ruby gpgme gem (1.0.8). My passphrase callback isn\'t called:

def passfunc(*args)
  fd = args.last
  io = IO.for_fd(fd, \'w\')
  io.puts \"mypassp         


        

Answer 1

It is important to note that as of GnuPG 2.0 (and in 1.4 when the use-agent option is used) pinentry is used for passphrase collection. This means that the gpgme passphrase callback will not be invoked. This is described here and an example of usage can be found in the gpgme-tool example.
