Subject: [PATCH] t: lib-gpg: flush gpg agent on startup
Message-ID: <20170720165814.30037-1-santiago@nyu.edu>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170720165814.30037-1-santiago%40nyu.edu

```
From: Santiago Torres <santiago@nyu.edu>

When running gpg-relevant tests, a gpg-daemon is spawned for each
GNUPGHOME used. This daemon may stay running after the test and cache
file descriptors for the trash directories, even after the trash
directory is removed. This leads to ENOENT errors when attempting to
create files if tests are run multiple times.

Add a cleanup script to force flushing the gpg-agent for that GNUPGHOME
(if any) before setting up the GPG relevant-environment.

This is the patch that stemmed from [1].

I tried to keep it simple and not noisy, alhtough it breaks the &&
chain, it needs to be run right before the --import command. I also
decided to drop the switch chain in case that regression was to be
introduced in the future in other versions (hopefully gpgconf goes
nowhere by then).

I was able to test this on debian oldstable/stable and arch.

Cheers!
-Santiago.

I'm inclined to do

	...
	export GNUPGHOME &&
	( gpgconf --kill gpg-agent 2>&1 >/dev/null || : ) &&
	gpg --homedir ... --import ...

Imagine "chmod 0777 ./gpghome" failed and what happens. We skip the
part that exports GNUPGHOME and attempts to kill gpg-agent as if
nothing bad happened, and then we try to "--import".  At that point
we do not know what value GNUPGHOME has---are we clobbering the real
keychain the user who runs the test has?

With that "run it but ignore the outcome even if we failed to.", we
do not have to worry about any of that ;-)

Oh right! thanks for the suggestion! Let me re-roll...

Thanks,
