wrench: a CLI tool for Passbolt

Installation

Before installing wrench, make sure your system has the following software installed:

Python (version >= 3.5)
pipx
GnuPG (version >= 2.1)

If you already have pipx installed, you can skip the next section and jump straight to Installing wrench.

Installing pipx

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath

Try running pipx --version to make sure it's installed correctly.

Note

If you previously installed wrench using pipsi, uninstall it first by running pipsi uninstall wrench.

Installing wrench

You can now install wrench by running the following command:

pipx install passbolt-wrench

If you want to have passwords copied automatically to the clipboard, install pyperclip:

pipx inject passbolt-wrench pyperclip

Then go to your Passbolt instance, export your private key and run wrench import_key /path/to/your/key.asc (you'll be prompted to enter some configuration values the first time you run wrench).

Common issues

I'm getting a GPGAuthStage1Exception

First, take a deep breath, don't panic. Once you've stopped shaking, make sure the GnuPG version you're running is at least 2.1 (you can find out by running gpg --version). If that's not the case, install a newer version.

If it still doesn't work, try to run the following:

GPG_TTY=$(tty) wrench

If it works, you can make this persistent by adding the following to your .bashrc/.zshrc/.whateverrc file (located in your home directory):

export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

Contributing

To work on wrench locally it is advised that you create a virtual environment. There are several ways to do it (virtualenvwrapper, direnv, plain virtual env, etc), but here's one (this will create a venv directory in your current directory, make sure you don't accidentally commit it):

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

Then use the following command to symlink wrench in your virtualenv. That way when you run wrench you'll be running the code from your working copy:

./setup.py develop

To run the tests, use the following command:

./setup.py test
