Expansion of ~ to home directory in eval_password does not work

[huhndev]

Since Profanity 0.9, a path included in eval_password can no longer contain a ~, but must be specified completely.

Expected Behavior

Using eval_password=gpg2 --batch -q --decrypt ~/path/to/password should work.

Current Behavior

Throws an error:
Error evaluating password, see logs for details.
and in the log:
15/06/2020 14:00:00: prof: ERR: Calling 'gpg2 --batch -q --decrypt ~/path/to/password' failed: Child process exited with code 2.

Workaround

Specify the full path, e.g.:
eval_password=gpg2 --batch -q --decrypt /home/user/path/to/password
