CLI 2 not connecting to desktop app; unable to determine parent process
Hello all - I'm trying to setup 1Password v8 with the CLI v2 coupled with biometric authentication (on Mac OS 12.2.1). I'm stuck at getting the CLI to talk to the desktop app:
ā settings op vault ls
[ERROR] 2022/04/08 10:38:07 connecting to desktop app: determining parent proces of 1326: operation not permitted
- I've checked the Preferences -> Developer -> Biometric unlock for 1Password CLI
- I've verified my op executable is in /usr/local/bin
- I've verified the permissions are set to 600 on /Users/{username}/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Data/settings
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
1Password Version: 8.7.0- build 80700041, beta
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.2.1

Hey folks, we've just released v2.5.1 of 1Password CLI which should resolve the issue you were facing. Could you let us know if updating the CLI to v2.5.1 resolves the issue for you?

Thank you for your followup! I understand that the error is something along the lines of:
connecting to desktop app: determining parent process of <pid>: operation not permitted
Can you please share what process has the
ID? You can find that using ps aux. This will help us debug as we'll know whether it's going to far up the parent tree or whether there's another problem.Also, if you are willing to install
pstree(brew install pstree), that would be even more helpful.In that case, if you can first run the
opcommand and copy the error message and then immediately runpstree -w -p $$, that would be of great help. Then we have the full process tree and the PID of the process that is causing the problem.Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Best,
Horia
