Browserpass can't find gpg binary

[GiulioDeveloper]

General information

If you are getting an error immediately after opening popup, have you followed the Configure browsers documentation section?
Yes

Exact steps to reproduce the problem

1. Click on browser extension icon

2. Try to fill desired password (I do get the list of my password from pass)

What should happen?

Fill in my password

What happened instead?

3. Getting error: Error: Unable to fetch and parse login fields: Error: {"status":"error","code":22,"version":3000008,"params":{"action":"fetch","error":"Unable to detect the location of the gpg binary to use","message":"Unable to detect the location of the gpg binary"}}

I have tried everything I managed to find about the issue:

• Installed pinentry-mac from brew
• Changed .conf files in /.gnupg/ (I didn't have those files so I created them, don't know if it was allowed) to work with pinentry
• Created a symlink to the gpg bin in usr/local/bin/gpg
• Restarted several times gpg and browser

Nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance

Hi there, you can specify the full path to gpg binary in extension options, could you please try it that helps?

[GiulioDeveloper]

The extension option panel in Brave doesn't save what I input: i write my path (the one from brew which is where I have gpg) and close the panel; when I reopen it I can't find the changes. I also don't know where to find the option json

Ah yes you are being affected by #293

There is also a possibility to configure that path by creating a json file with the setting in password store dir, could you perhaps try that instead?
