Hi!

Apologies for the delayed reply. I understand your point about why it
is the wrong approach to be sending the data through the clipboard in
the first place, but that *is* how pass works at the moment. Unlike
rofi-pass, pass is invoked in the terminal, which means there's no
easy way to automatically have an active output element to write the
data into using wtype/xdotool. This is simply my attempt to solve the
existing problem of having passwords stored in the clipboard manager's
history. I feel this is reasonable, considering how it is a single
line addition that makes the situation better for a sizeable number of
users. I ask again, would a patch be accepted? :)

Cheers,
Prajwal

Subject: Using pass in command substitution
Message-ID: <877cdeu609.fsf@city17.xyz>


Hi,

I think I need some rubberduck debugging from you folks.

I use pass like this:

  $ token=$( pass logins/website | head -n1 )

This works fine: as expected, in $token there is the password. However when using the --clip flag:

  $ token=$( pass logins/website --clip=1 )

the resulting variable $token contains the text "Copied xxx to clipboard. Will clear in NNN 
seconds." instead of the password.

My $copy_cmd in the pass script is set to "wl-copy" (I use Wayland/Sway). Running something like 
this produces the same result:

  $ TEST=$( echo -n heyhey | wl-copy ) && echo $TEST
  $ <empty line>

but:

  $ TEST=$( echo -n heyhey | wl-copy | wl-paste ) && echo $TEST
  $ heyhey

I am not sure of what am I looking at. Is this is the expected behaviour?

Any ideas/suggestion?

Thanks!
