Does not find any bookmarks in Brave (Dev)

[jpuris]

Heya!

The workflow seems to not be able to find any bookmarks, so I pocked around and in the workflows working dir run a test

./py3.sh chrom_bookmarks.py youtube

which throws following

mkdir: .: No such file or directory
DEBUG: Version: 3.89
DEBUG: Version: 3.106
make_alias:6: read-only file system: /py3
{
    "items": [
        {
            "title": "Config: Python3 was found at /usr/bin/python3.",
            "subtitle": "Version: 3.89, Proceed typing query or re-run worfklow",
        }
    ]
}
DEBUG: Python3 was found at /usr/bin/python3.
setup_python_alias:.:32: no such file or directory: /py3

with DEBUG=1

is this something on my end?

I suspect running this from cli is not valid use case, since in the py3.sh the workding directory is passed in from alfred

WF_DATA_DIR=$alfred_workflow_data
...
#Cache file for python binary - Allowes for faster execution
PYALIAS="$WF_DATA_DIR/py3"

But then, I've got no clue how to troubleshoot the absence of any bookmarks :(

I'm trying to get this work with Brave (Dev) browser.

No errors displayed in Alfred

You cannot run sh and py from command line because workflow dir env variable will be set by Alfred.

when you run the WF what is written in the debugger ?

what you can try is to exchange ./py3.sh and run with /usr/bin/python3

@Acidham running /usr/bin/python3 chrom_bookmarks.py youtube gets me

❯ /usr/bin/python3 chrom_bookmarks.py youtube
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if os.getenv(var).isdigit():

python version

❯ /usr/bin/python3 --version
Python 3.8.9

argh ...I thought i fixed that one but seems not.

can you please ensure to configure in workflow config to show fav icons?

Found the problem. The "Dev" should actually be "Beta".

From Alfred debugger

            "arg": "https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube"
        }
    ]
}

When I first install the workflow, I did not see "Beta", hence chose "Dev"

[Acidham]

yes never used beta. You can add URL in py file. you also need to change WF config to show properly in wF config.

I am on vacation without a computer otherwise I would change it.
