Extension does not work with bw cli 1.17.0

[m-danya]

I've faced the same problem. For those who want to do downgrade the bw:

As far as bw snap channels does not provide any other version, than the most recent, I've tried to build bw from the official repo and add the self-made binary to the $PATH, but now I have an error "Cannot find or execute bw". I can execute bw from the command line, but the plugin does not see it.

If I've done something wrong, please, tell me.

So what have I done:

• install npm and git
• remove bw
• execute:

cd
mkdir .bw
cd .bw
git clone https://github.com/bitwarden/cli .
git checkout v1.16.0
npm install
npm run sub:init
npm run 
cd build
echo '#!/bin/bash\nnode ./bw.js "$@"' > bw
chmod +x bw

Add to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.bw/build:$PATH"

log out & log in

Ok, I've found the solution. All I had to do is:

• remove bw
• sudo npm install -g @bitwarden/[email protected]

It works, yay!

nor does it work with cli 1.18....

The extension works fine with bw cli v1.18.0.

I have the cli installed through snap.

Version checks:

>>> whereis bw
bw: /snap/bin/bw

>>> bw -v
1.18.0

>>> snap list bw
