Error reading the .pvk file

[dmodoomsirius]

I have a .pvk and it says its "Failed to load the private key" even though i have everything specified in the task.

task jsign {
    doLast {
        ant.taskdef(name: 'jsign', classname: 'net.jsign.PESignerTask', classpath: configurations.jsign.asPath)
        ant.jsign(file: '../output/bootstrap/OblivionLauncher.exe',
                  name: 'OblivionLauncher',
                  url:  'http://www.example.com',
                  certfile: '../user.crt',
                  keyfile: '../key.pvk',
                  alias: 'test',
                  storepass: 'LIFE',
                  tsaurl: 'http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode')
    }
}

Looked at the stack trace noticed its getting a java.lang.NullPointerException

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at net.jsign.PVK.decrypt(PVK.java:104)
        at net.jsign.PVK.parse(PVK.java:92)
        at net.jsign.PVK.parse(PVK.java:56)
        at net.jsign.PESignerTask.execute(PESignerTask.java:228)

starts happening on that line. I decompiled jsign to look at the line its crashing on.

You get an error because you specified the storepass parameter instead of keypass. That said, the error message is clearly not explicit, I'll try to improve that.

That worked thank you very much!

Reopening to improve the error message.
