CMD:// doesn't work in Fedora 33

[josevnz]

Overview

Hello,

When you try to use CMD:// to run a shell script or external command it fails

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new entry
2. On the URL call your script (make sure the full path works on the Bash command line first): CMD:///home/josevnz/bin/myscript.sh
3. Try to execute script. No error on the GUI but if you are lucky enough to start KeePassXC from a terminal window you will see this:

io: cmd:///home/josevnz/bin/myscript.sh: The specified location is not supported

Expected Behavior

Run the script from Bash

Actual Behavior

io: cmd:///home/josevnz/bin/myscript.sh: The specified location is not supported

I was looking for more details on https://keepass.info/help/base/autourl.html or even on gio error but could not find anything useful. In all honesty it seems an Gnome issue and not a KeepassXC. This command also fails:

xdg-open CMD:///home/josevnz/bin/myscript.sh
io: CMD:///home/josevnz/bin/myscript.sh: The specified location is not supported

You need to tell KeePassXC which executable to run. A script file needs a shell to run on, when run from a terminal window the shell is implied as the current shell. Your URL's should be something like cmd://<executable> <parameters>

In your case you need to do:

cmd://bash /home/..../myscript.sh

If you want to show the console window, this worked nicely for me (KDE and Gnome options):

cmd://konsole --hold -e bash /home/.../myscript.sh
cmd://gnome-terminal --wait -- bash /home/.../myscript.sh

You are %100 correct, I changed cmd:// following your suggestion and works like a charm.
Thanks for looking into this!
