unknown argument '--gpg-recipients' about hiera-eyaml-gpg HOT 9 CLOSED

I am also seeing this. I assumed it was my packaging of the gems as RPMs, but this issue seems to indicate not.

OS: CentOS 6.4 x86_64

# rpm -qa|grep hiera|sort
hiera-1.2.0-1.el6.noarch
hiera-eyaml-1.3.4-1.el6.re.noarch
hiera-eyaml-gpg-0.1-1.el6.re.noarch
hiera-yamlgpg-0.1.7-1.el6.re.noarch
# eyaml -v
Hiera-eyaml version 1.3.4

from hiera-eyaml-gpg.

Hmmm... running the command without the --gpg-recipients flag gives:

$ eyaml -n gpg -e -s 'admin'

This seems to suggest that the gem is registered, but for some reason the options provided in the README aren't registered/present.

I was also noticing that the help output did not have the --gpg-* options listed.

Hmm... I'm on CentOS 6.4 as well, with ruby 1.8.7.

Thanks for all the information guys - from what @Javins posted, it seems that the module is being discovered but the command line options are missing. I'll create a CentOS environment and see if I can reproduce what you've got.

from hiera-eyaml-gpg.

I've reproduced this now and it is connected with voxpupuli/hiera-eyaml#35 (gem on CentOS 6.4 is 1.3.4). The reason that it half works (the error message about no recipients comes from hiera-eyaml-gpg) is that the mechanisms for finding all the plugins and finding a named plugin are different.

If you build your own gem for hiera-eyaml then you should find this problem goes away (I'm afraid that hiera-eyaml is a little behind for gem cutting, you might want to pop a +1 on the issue above to encourage the repo owner). On my CentOS VM I did the following (using the repo from telstra-digital containing the fix):

gem install rake bundler
git clone https://github.com/telstra-digital/hiera-eyaml.git
cd hiera-eyaml
rake build
gem uninstall hiera-eyaml --executables 
gem install pkg/hiera-eyaml-1.3.4.gem

This uses the same version number but allows successful lookup of the plugin gems.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this @sihil!

Your workaround helped me understand what is going on. I'll keep an eye on that pull request.

from hiera-eyaml-gpg.

Alternative workaround that doesn't include building telestra-digital's head code: Make sure rubygems is > 1.8:

$ gem --version                                                   
1.3.7
$ gem update --system
$ gem --version
2.1.10

// any gem cleanup you need to do
$ gem install hiera-eyaml-gpg
$ eyaml -n gpg -e -s 'admin' --gpg-recipients "[email protected]"

Alas, it doesn't look like the standard CentOS repos have anything more current than rubygems 1.3.7 available.

See https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-ruby/blob/master/manifests/init.pp for ideas about codifying a more current rubygems requirement in a puppet manifest.

Just a heads up that this, and a bunch of other issues have been fixed in more recent versions of hiera-eyaml - update to 1.3.8 and you should be set.
