attempt to concatenate field 'OPENAI_API_KEY' (a nil value)

[PMassicotte]

Looks like the last commit (aa8a969) is breaking something.

I am getting this error:

.../.local/share/nvim/lazy/ChatGPT.nvim/lua/chatgpt/api.lua:267: attempt to concatenate field 'OPENAI_API_KEY' (a nil value)  

ChatGPT.nvim/lua/chatgpt/api.lua

Line 267 in aa8a969

Api.AUTHORIZATION_HEADER = "Authorization: Bearer " .. Api.OPENAI_API_KEY

FWIW, here is my config:

  config = function()
    local home = vim.fn.expand("$HOME")
    require("chatgpt").setup({
      api_key_cmd = "gpg --decrypt " .. home .. "/openai_api_key.txt.gpg"
    })
  end,

Same here. This plugin is the single most fragile plugin among all neovim plugins because it breaks after every update 😆
Do people ever test their stuff before plugging it in the PR?

Same error using bw (which is the Bitwarden command line client) in plugin custom config like this:
api_key_cmd = bw get password <uniqueid>
results in attempt to concatenate filed OPENAI_API_KEY (a nil value).

uniqueid is an alphanumeric string without spaces

same here using builtin mac keychain
security find-generic-password -s NVIM_CHAT_GPT_TOKEN -w

same here using gopass(compatible with pass)

return {
  "jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  config = function()
    require("chatgpt").setup({
      api_key_cmd = "gopass show -o -f chatgpt/apikey",
    })
  end,
  dependencies = {
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  },
  keys = {
    { "<leader>Cc", "<cmd>ChatGPT<cr>", desc = "ChatGPT" },
  },
}

I can confirm that https://github.com/singular0/ChatGPT.nvim/commit/3d31eacf98b00cc3fd944ef5526be6d738515649 fixed the issue

A PR has been submitted under #301

Sorry for not testing enough on the api_key_cmd option, I will try to find a workaround and test relevant options in nvim config before submitting another patch. Sorry for the inconveniences again.

Edits:

• Moving the code related to detecting and loading Azure configs into the callback for loading OPENAI_API_KEY definitely works. Thanks a lot @singular0. Still, I am confused by the scope and effect of it and why Api.OPENAI_API_KEY isn't set when loading from api_key_cmd rather than the environment variable. I will dig around when I have the time.
• I think I figured out why reading API key from the command line doesn't work: the loadConfigFromCommand function runs the background job in async mode (as this line indicates) using plenary. It should be running in sync mode instead and by changing :start() here to :sync(), the config can now be read from background jobs. This is what Fix async reading config #300 by @you-n-g is suggesting. For now, Fix: attempt to concatenate field 'OPENAI_API_KEY' (a nil value) (#299) #301 works by simply changing the scope (which avoids the async problem altogether) and Fix async reading config #300 should fix such problems in the long run.
• Since the :sync() function defaults to a timeout of 5 seconds, it might not be enough for the api_key_cmd to return the API key (most password manager requires entering a master password or uses any other means of authentication, at least the first time). Therefore, I would suggest using :sync(20000), i.e., wait for 20 seconds.
• Changing the scope by moving snippets of loading Azure OpenAI related configs inside the loadApiKey function (Fix: attempt to concatenate field 'OPENAI_API_KEY' (a nil value) (#299) #301) might have inadvertently led to curl: option -H: requires parameter when running :ChatGPT #303 and OPENAI_API_TYPE not populated when OPENAI_API_KEY is specified #304. Fundamentally, it's still an omission on my part for not taking these cases into consideration.
