It's clear to me based on the unit tests that if use_agent = FALSE, then we cannot use --batch when signing or decrypting because we need to interactively supply a passphrase to gpg. Since you were setting use_agent = TRUE, perhaps the solution to this problem is to use --batch for sign/decrypt if use_agent = TRUE. Unfortunately I'm having trouble getting use_agent = TRUE to work, it seems that the gpg-agent always immediately fails with an error about invalid ioctl for device. I'm guessing that I need to configure a gpg-agent or something, but I'm not entirely sure how.
what version of gpg are you testing against?
gnupg 2.1.x always uses a cryptographic agent, so "use_agent" is a bit
of a misnomer in this case.
With GnuPG versions before 2.1.x, i also saw the test failures you
describe :/ This sort of version compatibility issue is something that
gpgme is supposed to hide for you as a developer, though.
