After updating, a warning message appears whenever any file is opened

[Pi-Cla]

What did you expect to happen?

I expected that I could open files without a warning popping up. I also expected the buffer displaying the file to be in the major mode corresponding to its file suffix.

What actually happened?

Emacs does not immediate jump to the opened file instead showing me this in the Warning buffer:

Error (doom-first-file-hook): Error running hook "global-git-commit-mode" because: (epg-error no usable configuration OpenPGP)

It still makes another buffer that has the opened file though. I just have to manually switch to it. The buffer however is by default set to the fundamental major mode rather than the major mode for its file suffix.

Describe your attempts to resolve the issue

I commented out some default lines in config.el that set gpg stuff:

;;(setq user-full-name "John Doe"
;;      user-mail-address "john@doe.com")

And this does seem to fix all the problems for me at least.

Steps to reproduce

1. Update Doom Emacs to at least dcae28c
2. Open any file using Emacs

System Information

https://pastebin.com/rFWBqnr5

[Pi-Cla]

A contributing factor may also be that I don't have gnupg installed on this system. Idk

[bhankas]

I can confirm this happening with dcae28c on NixOS unstable. Reverting before it resolved the issue.

I also don't have gnupg installed and never did, and it shouldn't really be necessary to use Emacs as a daily tool for non-security-sensitive work.

[teehemkay]

I just did a doom up and I'm also seeing the same error every time I try to open a file which essentially makes doom unusable.
I'm using nix-darwin, don't have gnupg installed and never did either.

My config:

[jlcolbert]

This was fixed for me when I installed gnupg and set up keys.

[teehemkay]

@jlcolbert thanks for the work around. Still, I'd rather not have to install and setup gnupg to be able to use doom :-)

[lread]

@jlcolbert thanks for the tip, I only installed gnupg, I did not seem to need to set up any keys.

[jlcolbert]

@jlcolbert thanks for the tip, I only installed gnupg, I did not seem to need to set up any keys.

Good to know. I already had keys set up (I've been revamping my work computer), so I didn't get a chance to test without.

I just did a doom up and I'm also seeing the same error every time I try to open a file which essentially makes doom unusable. I'm using nix-darwin, don't have gnupg installed and never did either.

I got similar problem but I use windows. Now doom loads with this error that makes it doesn't respond any key stroke:
condition-case: Error in a Doom startup hook: emacs-startup-hook, doom-load-packages-incrementally-h, (epg-error "no usable configuration" OpenPGP)
I don't use PGP and therefore don't want to install it.

Have you tried commenting out the two lines from your config.el like the github issue says?

;;(setq user-full-name "John Doe"
;;      user-mail-address "john@doe.com")

The file can be found in /.doom.d/config.el
Lines are commented out with ;;

Didn't try. I checked the doom commit list and rolled back the epa configruation in \modules\config\default\config.el. Now it works fine.

[hlissner]

This was a regression caused by dcae28c. This error will occur when you don't have a PGP environment set up. As of 26d5163 this issue should be resolved. Let me know if that isn't the case and I'll reopen it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
