Primary PGP key wasn't found

[lmquang]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a secret on my Mac but i always get this error even though i've created my GPG key:

Primary PGP key wasn't found

Thanks.

Make sure gpg --list-secret-key contains key with E (encrypt) & S (sign) capabilities:

$ gpg --list-secret-key
/Users/shyiko/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
--------------------------------
sec>  rsa4096 2012-02-22 [SC]
      160A7A9CF46221A56B06AD64461A804F2609FD89
uid           [ultimate] Sponge Bob <sponge.bob@gmail.com>
ssb>  rsa4096 2012-02-22 [E]
ssb>  rsa4096 2012-02-22 [A]

To verify that everything is properly set up try echo "text" > test && gpg -ab test (it should just work).

Another option is to pass key fingerprint explicitly, e.g.
kubesec encrypt --key=pgp:6206C32E111611688694CF5530BDA87E3E71C268 secret.yml.

I was getting the same error. I installed GPGSuite from gpgtools.org. On launching GPGSuite, it created a keypair for me and I stopped getting

Primary PGP key wasn't found

after that.
