NmAgentManagerNoSecretsError: No agents were available for this request.

Most of my wifi connections make get_profile() failed with NmAgentManagerNoSecretsError: No agents were available for this request. Even though without wifi passwords, everything else of the profile should have been retrievable.
(get_settings() returns correctly (w/o any password key) though the dict values are in tuples.)

Hello @zcattacz

Have you tried using the fetch_secrets=False argument? It will disable fetching the secret values.

[zcattacz]

Thank you, that works. I failed to check the API doc, only the quickstart. Maybe replacing the No agents were available for this request. with try fetch_secrets=False will be more user friendly :-)

Maybe replacing the No agents were available for this request. with try fetch_secrets=False will be more user friendly

The No agents were available for this request is exactly what NetworkManager returns as an error message.

Maybe fetch_secrets should have 3 values of no, auto and force there auto would consider the NmAgentManagerNoSecretsError error as there simply are no secrets.
