secure data `${sec.data.mypass}` not taken into account in conf
Hi,
Does weechat relay the unencrypted password at runtime are is the config file manually parsed ? Because the secure data syntax does not work
thought it did https://github.com/bqv/weechat-xmpp/blob/cb51f45bb7fa36953b667feffbc8f6f13ebb908f/config/file.hh#L49-L50 I cant really see anything that the plugin should do for sec data to work https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat/stable/weechat_plugin_api.en.html#configuration_files (see other sections there where they mention variable parsing in the config file, to my understanding that'd all be automagic from the weechat side)
might look into it at some point but it'll probably be quite a rabbithole again
correction. it seems there is some manual action to parse these. probably best to do this transparent to actually reading and writing the file so it'll write back the variables unexpanded. how to expand them seems to be a single function: https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat/stable/weechat_plugin_api.en.html#_string_eval_expression
probably fine to do it right before/at login for only user and password?
jid is used allover the place and I cannot be bothered. pass is easy enough to pass through it to solve your usecase
Thanks @Ckath for looking into this. Yes handling login pass would be more than enough
