Using the CLI in cron - cannot create an item into a vault

Someone172

Hello,

I wrote to the business support but I was offered to tried a closed beta of a new software, how convenient.

So, I'm having a problem with the CLI when used with cron in a bash script, on Debian 11.
I log successfully, I get vault and user details also, but when creating an item in a specific vault, I get... nothing. No error, no output, nothing.

However, using SSH and launching the script manually, everything works fine.

The command used is : op item create --category login --title XXX --vault XXX username=XXX password=XXX --url=XXX --session XXX

I went up to stracing the process, while on cron and directly.
Here is the difference, when calling the OP binary :
ioctl(2, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7fff6d12f760) = -1 ENOTTY (Ioctl() inapproprié pour un périphérique) <-- while using cron
ioctl(2, TIOCGWINSZ, {ws_row=54, ws_col=102, ws_xpixel=0, ws_ypixel=0}) = 0 <-- while using the same user session but on SSH, with a terminal.

After digging a bit more, I found out that calling TIOCGWINSZ is asking for the window size of the terminal running the command.
However, in cron, there is no terminal present, thus the ENOTTY error.

I do not understand why the 1password CLI should ask for a terminal window size while setting a password, and I do not understand why only this command fails. The error above is the only difference I can see between script lines I can identify in the strace.

Did someone encounter the problem too? How did you resolve it? Is this a bug or a bad implementation in the 1password CLI?

Thank you,

The problem can be bypassed by using a tool like screen or tmux in the crontab, thus emulating a pseudo-tty.
Definitely not ideal, but "it works".
