Decrypting a file throws a timeout error

GnuPG Help
1

I’m adding code to decrypt a file to a Coldfusion app this way:

<cfexecute
    name="C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"
    arguments='--pinentry-mode=loopback --passphrase #passphrase# -d -o #txtFilePath# #pgpFilePath# '
    timeout="30"
	variable="output"
    errorVariable="error"
>
</cfexecute>

is working in my machine with gpg version 2.4.5

But when I run it on the server it hangs for a while and shows this error
Timeout period expired without completion of gpg
The gpg version in the server is 2.4.4

What could be the issue?

It might ask you a question like “do you want to overwrite the file” or something like that.
Add “–batch” to the arguments and maybe also “–yes”.
