Passphrase not functioning as expected

[christhomas]

• [x] I am using the latest release of AWS Vault
• [ ] I have provided my .aws/config (redacted if necessary)
• [ ] I have provided the debug output using aws-vault --debug (redacted if necessary)

If I try to add a profile, but with an empty passphrase (lets say I don't want one), then I try to exec a profile, it'll ask me for a passphrase. If I just hit enter, it'll execute it correctly and I see the data that should be in AWS.

So when the passphrase is empty, it shouldn't prompt me for it.

But when I add a passphrase, lets say 123, it'll work when I enter 123 and hit enter, I'll get the same data I expect back from AWS

If I set this env var AWS_VAULT_FILE_PASSPHRASE=123

then I do an env command, I can see the env var clearly.

When I rerun the exec command, it'll STILL prompt me for the password, when I enter 123, it'll execute correctly.

So there seems to be two problems here

1. empty passphrases are still prompting for input, despite there being no passphrase set
2. the AWS_VAULT_FILE_PASSPHRASE env parameter doesn't appear to work at all.
