Unable to pipe string

[fmnxl]

I've been trying to use the pipe feature (#154), but I got this error.
From my understanding, the piped string should be available as /dev/stdin?
Sorry if this is unrelated to agenix itself.

> echo "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" | agenix -e my-secret.age
cp: skipping file '/dev/stdin', as it was replaced while being copied
my-secret.age wasn't created.

Edit: it might be relevant that I'm running this on macOS

Ok this seems like a darwin/macOS issue.

echo "XXXX" | cp /dev/stdin /dev/stdout

This outputs the original string on linux, while on darwin it errors with the above message

Is there a way to pipe string to agenix on mac? I know echo "XXXX" | cat >/dev/stdout works on mac, but I don't know how to get agenix to use it this way.

I ended up using ragenix

This bash script helps me pass the binary file to agenix without opening an editor.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

src="$(realpath -s "$1")"
filename="${src##*/}"
cd ~/nix/secrets || exit 1
EDITOR="cp $src" agenix -e "$filename.age"
