hi,
can you try with npm? and also provide the installation trace?
Here is the installation trace
I suspect that this issue has something to do with how volta handles global dependencies. I'll look into it later.
ok, I double check my env & how I install the workflow for the first time & how I update it.
So I have node installed globally with brew, I use it to install / update the workflow (actually node 18.3 / npm 8.12.1).
Then workflow used the version pined in his package.json
If I understand the doc of Volta, you should run volta install @bchatard/alfred-jetbrains
(source: https://blog.volta.sh/2019/06/18/global-installs-done-right/). Before remove completely version install with npm
I tried to use volta install @bchatard/alfred-jetbrains
to install it as global dependency but the result is the same.
Then i remove Volta completely and reinstall node with Homebrew. Then it works.
Then i reinstall Volta again and it still works. I'll look into it later. But we now know the solution is remove volta and install node using other means.
I had the same issue and thought these infos could be helpful for others.
I found out that the symlink in the workflows folder is wrong. Volta puts packages in a temp folder which messes things up.
if you run npm -g list
you will see that the packages are installed to e.g. /Users/andre/.volta/tools/image/node/16.14.0/lib
and not into the tmp
folder (see screenshot).
Volta seems to have a bug with global installs without a bin in the package.
I solved it this way:
I installed node
via homebrew but didn't link it so i could keep my volta installation as is.
Then i used the installed npm binary to install the extension e.g. /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/18.6.0/libexec/bin/npm install -g @bchatard/alfred-jetbrains
.
Now the workflow should be listed when you run npm -g list.
Anyway it's not installed in alfred, you still have to go to your Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows
folder and symlink the workflow manually e.g. ln -s /Users/YOUR_USER/.volta/tools/image/node/16.14.0/lib/node_modules/@bchatard/alfred-jetbrains /YOUR/PATH/TO/alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/@bchatard-alfred-jetbrains
it took 10 seconds for alfred to recognize the "new" workflow, afterwards it works fine again.
