Description Julien HENRY 2022-09-05 10:02:46 UTC 
I was testing the Secret Service D-BUS implementation (provided by https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwallet/-/merge_requests/11).

I have added a new alias using:

    gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.secrets --object-path /org/freedesktop/secrets --method org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.SetAlias test /org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/kdewallet


It worked fine. I could see the alias created using qdbusviewer-qt5.
Also the alias was in ~/.config/kwalletrc:

    [org.freedesktop.secrets.aliases]
    test=kdewallet


After this test, I wanted to remove the alias. According to the spec (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/latest/re01.html), deleting an alias should be done using the special value '/'.
So I tried many variations of:

    gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.secrets --object-path /org/freedesktop/secrets --method org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.SetAlias test /

But the alias was never removed.

Workaround: I had to manually remove it from the kwalletrc file.
