Can't get signing to work [message #1804322] Fri, 22 March 2019 12:25 Go to next message

Hello,

I wanted to utilise the new functionality for signing commits.

Configured user.signingKey and set commit.gpgSign to true.
Everything works on the command line:

git commit -a -m "My change" && git push


This asks for my passphrase and the commit gets signed and verified on GitHub.

When I try to do a signed commit within Eclipse an alert shows up: Unable to find a GPG key for signing. Configure GPG key with committer email address, set user.signingKey or disable commit signing..

Working on a linux machine.

Any idea what I can try?

Hello guys,
I was following the but Bug 545673 and I saw just now that it was fixed.

I've installed version 4.12.0(Build id: 20190614-1200).
I have only two keys in my ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx and both are password protected.
I have set "signingkey" property with a 16 char length key (the one with sign and certify usage) and I'm able to commit without problems with "git -S"

But unfortunately I can't make my eclipse to commit with a sign.

could someone please give me a help?

First, please update to EGit nightly.

Second, see this other thread. It's a bit long, but the upshot is that there appear to be keys that Bouncy Castle (the crypto library we use) can't read. Unfortunately the user in that other thread deleted the throw-away key he had this problem with, so I couldn't dig any deeper.

Hi Thomas,
First thanks for your time !

The version I have installed in my IDE(using jdk11) is : Git integration for Eclipse 5.5.0.201908171731 org.eclipse.egit.feature.group Eclipse EGit

Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem to sign.

I took the LoadKey code and tried with my keys. It was able to load my password protected keys without any error, but it prints a value that is different from what I see when executing "gpg --list-keys --with-keygrip --fingerprint"

I also have parsed my main private key file with xxd and this is what I have: (9:protected25:openpgp-s2k3-sha1-aes-cbc((4:sha18:IX......8:86036480)16:..i.%

I used the ubuntu's seahorse 3.20.0 to create my keys.

That's normal, and is explained in that other thread.

If LoadKey can load your private key, you have some other problem.
