How to clear gpgme passphrase cache or enter the passphrase every time?

[Mojtaba Gharibi]

Hi,

 

I am using the following test program shipped with GPGME to sign a
document.

However, the program never asks for my passphrase. Based on the error
message, I suspect it has cached some wrong passphrase. So I either need
to clear the cache or enter the passphrase each time I am using the
program. How can I do this?

 

Thanks,

M.

 

Error message:

run-sign: signing failed: Bad passphrase

and as I did printf debugging, this error happens when the program
executes the line: 

err = gpgme_op_sign (ctx, in, out, sigmode);
