authinfo passphrase prompt stops emacs daemon from starting about chatgpt-shell HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm not using the snippet myself, but can it not be delayed with something like the following? It should only prompt you for password when you use the shell.

(setq chatgpt-shell-openai-key (lambda ()
  (plist-get (car (auth-source-search :host "api.openai.com") :secret)))))

If you can validate this works, I'll update the README. Or if you can send a PR, greatly appreciated also :)

ps. Replying from mobile.

I just tried this and while it asks for the passphrase when you first send a request to chatgpt, it gives back an error 400.
I believe it is because curl is sending the resulting closure object as is somehow.
Using the hook, the expression gets evaluated to a byte code function object which seems to work fine as curl is sending the api key proper.

I'd need to investigate.

I'm not familiar with authinfo though. Can you walk me through your setup so I can replicate? Maybe all the steps needed to save and restore a key like you do?

from chatgpt-shell.

My authinfo setup is pretty basic.

In my init file I have:

(setq auth-sources (list (expand-file-name
                          "etc/authinfo.gpg"
                          user-emacs-directory)
                         (expand-file-name "~/.authinfo.gpg")))

and in my .emacs.d/etc/authinfo.gpg, I have:

machine openai.com password MY_API_KEY

I use straight.el to pull chatgpt-shell which I then configure like so:

(require 'chatgpt-shell)

(add-hook 'inferior-chatgpt-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq chatgpt-shell-openai-key
                  (plist-get (car (auth-source-search :host "api.openai.com"))
                             :secret))))

in which case, my passphrase is being prompted when I M-x chatgpt-shell and chatgpt-shell-openai-key evaluates to this:

#[0 "\301\242\203\f\0\301\242\302\300!!\207\302\300!\207"
    ["<my_obfuscated_api_key>"
     (nil)
     auth-source--deobfuscate]
    3]

whereas if I use your snippet, my passphrase is being prompted when I first send something ChatGPT> Hi and chatgpt-shell-openai-key evaluates to:

(closure
 (t)
 nil
 (plist-get
  (car
   (auth-source-search :host "openai.com")
   :secret)))

Apparently, by the time the curl request is formed, the byte code function ends up returning the clear key (which works) whereas the closure just gets sent as is.

I hope this helps.

So it looks like (plist-get (car (auth-source-search :host "api.openai.com")) :secret) already returns a function, so I was hoping that didn't trigger prompt for your gpg passphrase. But... I think you can actually do the following and avoid a hook:

(setq chatgpt-shell-openai-key
      (lambda ()
        (funcall (plist-get (car (auth-source-search :host "api.openai.com"))
                            :secret))))

It should give you lazy loading, so you're prompt only when you first use the ChatGPT shell.

See if the above works for ya.

from chatgpt-shell.

It works fine, thanks :).
If we're going with this method, I think the simpler auth-source-pick-first-password mentioned in #27 could also be an improvement:

(setq chatgpt-shell-openai-key (lambda () (auth-source-pick-first-password :host "api.openai.com")))

It already does the funcall internally.

Thank you! Updated README.org.
