Bug ID: 491898
Summary: kwallet-query silent failure on writing new entry
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kwallet
Version: 5.115.0
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: va...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@openaliasbox.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When attempting to write a new entry using the kwallet-query CLI, the command
silently ignores the write operation and returns with a 0 exit code, indicating
success despite the operation not being performed as expected. The issue lies
within the QueryDriver::writeValue() function in querydriver.cpp, where the
kind variable is assigned KWallet::Wallet::Unknown, causing the function to
prematurely call quit().
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Attempt to write a new entry in KWallet using the kwallet-query CLI.
echo "test" | kwallet-query kdewallet -w mypassword
OBSERVED RESULT
The command returns with a 0 exit code without actually writing the entry.
Check that entry does not exist via KWalletManager or via cli:
kwallet-query kdewallet -l
EXPECTED RESULT
kwallet-query command should correctly write the new entry with the provided
data, and the CLI should reflect success or failure based on the actual
outcome.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS Debian 13 (trixie)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Workaround:
1. Create a new entry manually via the GUI in KWalletManager.
2. Use kwallet-query to write the password or data into the existing entry
created via the GUI.
