[MRELEASE-1114] Broken interaction of maven-gpg-plugin with Gpg4win Kleopatra since 3.0.0-M6 (original) (raw)

Before https://github.com/apache/maven-release/pull/125, when gpg-plugin runs, it triggered the cert password prompt window of Kleopatra but now it fails right away with no pinentry.

WORKAROUND

init the GPG agent:

then you can run mvn release:perform again and it will be successful (it's perfectly supported by maven-release-plugin to retry the perform step)
