Error when using key_set()

[Marcus]

I'm getting this error after running:

key_set("service", "password")

Error: yml must be a named list of length 3 with entries ‘c’, ‘keyring_info’, ‘items’

Using v.1.2.0.

Any ideas what the problem is? Never had an issue before with this.

I don't know, but you can run traceback() right after the error to get a stack trace.
I suppose you are using the encrypted file backend?

Hello,
Same problem here.
I have the problem on my Ubuntu machine, since this afternoon. The only thing I can think of are some routine updates that I run this morning. I tried v.1.1.0 and v.1.2.0 and both give the same error.
On macOSX I don't have the problem.

Here's the traceback on Ubuntu:

12: stop(e)
11: value[[3L]](cond)
10: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]])
9: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
8: tryCatch({
       cached <- private$get_cache(keyring)
       b_file_secret_decrypt(cached$check, cached$nonce, private$get_keyring_pass(keyring))
       FALSE
   }, error = function(e) {
       if (conditionMessage(e) == "Failed to decrypt") 
           TRUE
       else stop(e)
   })
7: b_file_keyring_is_locked(self, private, keyring)
6: self$keyring_is_locked(keyring)
5: b_file_keyring_unlock(self, private, keyring, password)

3: b_file_get(self, private, service, username, keyring)
2: keyring::backend_file$new()$get(service = db_credentials$dbname, 
       user = db_credentials$user, keyring = db_credentials$dbname)

I suspect it is an error that comes from some mistake in my script (typo, missing keyring,wrong password, I don't know), because I tried it in a different project on the same machine and it works.

[Gábor Csárdi]

If you still have this issue, then could you try to create a short script that reproduces it? Thanks.

[Duccio Aiazzi]

I don't have this problem any more. It was an error in my code but I don't have access to it any more. Thank you
