Goose configure writes empty config / Ubuntu 24.04 / KeePassXC Secret Service

[cruftex]

Describe the bug

Trying to do initial setup with custom provider. Goose just writes an empty config.

To Reproduce

~/tmp/goose-test$ cat ~/.config/goose/config.yaml
cat: /home/jeans/.config/goose/config.yaml: No such file or directory
~/tmp/goose-test$ goose configure

This will update your existing config file
  if you prefer, you can edit it directly at /home/jeans/.config/goose/config.yaml

┌   goose-configure

◇  What would you like to configure?

◇  What should we call this provider?

◇  Provider API URL:

◇  Does this provider support streaming responses?

0
~/tmp/goose-test$ cat /home/jeans/.config/goose/config.yaml
{}

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 and KDE Neon and keepassxc with Secret Service support.
I noticed that the unlock dialog of keepassxc popped up when I frist try to install.
However, I don't want to store anything there, the key is not needed for local tests anyway.

The documentation says something about a keyring and the environment variable OPENAI_KEY should be set. This did not change anything.

When I open the vault and run the setup again, Goose writes a new secret into it and stops with:

└  Custom provider added: Local LM Studio

Still config.yaml is empty:

goose info -v
Goose Version:
  Version:          1.9.3

Goose Locations:
  Config file:      /home/jeans/.config/goose/config.yaml
  Sessions dir:     /home/jeans/.local/share/goose/sessions
  Logs dir:         /home/jeans/.local/state/goose/logs

Goose Configuration:
  No configuration values set
  Run 'goose configure' to configure goose

Expected behavior

An error message with a reasonable hint if configuration is not possible

If the problem is the secret storage, a working documented way to it switch off secret storage

Also, since it says /home/jeans/.config/goose/config.yaml the expectation is that ONLY this file will be changes. Secrets should only be written when instructed or with confirmation.
