Error connecting to agent: No such file or directory

I just saw the post & beta for SSH + CLI integration and this seems amazing. +1 Cant wait for the final release.

However, I'm unable to get this working at all.
* I also use a shell called fishshell for what it's worth. (fish, version 3.3.1, but I do not believe this is part of the issue, as I swapped to bash too, and experience the same issue)
* I have installed OpenSSH (OpenSSH_8.6p1)
* 1P CLI is on version 2.0.0

I've run both the "configuration" commands per the docs.

I've created the symlink using

mkdir -p ~/.1password && ln -s ~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock ~/.1password/agent.sock

...and added the additional line to the ssh config

Host *
IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock"
IdentitiesOnly yes

I also added the SSH_AUTH_SOCK to my profile, even tried the global config from here

I've check that I have all the requirements.
* Private vault
* New Key generated via 1Password
* Not archived

But when I run

ssh-add -l

I keep getting a response of Error connecting to agent: No such file or directory, and also any github cli interactions refuses to connect, but I believe its all caused by one in the same issue

Any ideas of what I might be missing?

    Good to hear that the No such file or directory issue got solved! Now you're properly connected to the agent, but the next problem is that the agent doesn't list the keys you've created.

    We just detected a flaw in the docs that creates some confusion about the vault name, see this comment. So could you try moving the keys to your Personal vault and run ssh-add -l or ssh -o 'IdentitiesOnly=no' -T git@github.com again?

    Update, not sure if this could be relevant. I also looked in the log files per a comment in another post and saw this error.


    ERROR 2022-03-18T08:19:53.809 ThreadId(17) [1P:ssh/op-ssh-config/src/lib.rs:128] Could not open ssh config file in ~/.ssh/config

    And here are the 2 relevant vault's details from op vault get <vault_name>

    ```
    ~/.ssh  op vault get Private
    ID:
    Name: Private
    Type: USER_CREATED

    ~/.ssh  op vault get Personal
    ID:
    Name: Personal
    Type: PERSONAL
    Attribute version: 1
    Content version: 1332
    Items: 413

    I did mess around with some additional setting sin my fish_config file and just redid the whole setup from the ground up.

    I updated my fish_config to contain this (previously it was wrapped in quotes)

    set SSH_AUTH_SOCK ~/.1password/agent.sock

    I now receive an error similar to the other questions on here.

    The agent has no identities.

    I did not have a Private named vault. Mine was called Personal. I did however create a new one called Private but that did not seem to help.

    With regards to the above:
    Output of ls -l $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

    Also for what its worth... my .ssh/config not looks like this
    ```
    Host *
    IgnoreUnknown UseKeychain
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityAgent ~/.1password/agent.sock
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    UseKeychain yes

    other gh alias for another team

    Host smg.github.com
    HostName github.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rohan_smg_generated

    this is the gh im testing against / e.g my private gh acct

    Host github.com
    HostName github.com
    User git
    # IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rohan_private_generated
    ```

    And could share the output of: ls -l $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

    And could you try: ssh -o 'IdentitiesOnly=no' -T git@github.com
    If that doesn't work, could you share your output of: ssh -o 'IdentitiesOnly=no' -vT git@github.com

    Can you share your output of:
    ls -l ~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock
