Ok thanks for this precious feedback, so Jetbrains don't name products same if toolbox or not. I will look at it quickly

[bchatard]

Please check the latest version, it should fix this issue

[Gabrielvon]

just updated. It seems have the same path error. I noticed that the prompt changed.

Also I double check the path, and the binaries pycahrm does exists in /usr/local/bin

[bchatard]

hi,

just create new version with more logs

open Alfred debug bar in the workflow settings to locate your log file, then send it to me here

[Gabrielvon]

hi,

I did as you said and there are many lines so I upload it as attachment. Also, I wiped out some private information there which I think may not affect the debug.

debug.log

[bchatard]

with information available in log, there is no bin pycharm or charm

since you edit it, can you check in the original log file if bin is listed after this line "Looking in Directory: '/usr/local/bin'"

[Gabrielvon]

There is a line showed in the origin log indeed. In fact, I didn't remove any line as whole just replace some sensative words with "---". So, the line is actually found in the both original and edited version of the log.

[bchatard]

your bin are symlinked in /usr/local/bin?

as mentioned, no bin are found by the script

[Gabrielvon]

sry, I misunderstood. Yes, no bin are found in "/usr/local/bin". I double check the lines beigin with "Check binary" between "Looking in Drirectory: '/usr/local/bin'" and next one of "Looking in Drirectory".

Also, my bin named /usr/local/bin seems isn't symlinked.

~$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin
drwxrwxr-x  1483 gabriel admin  47456 Jun  2 11:11 /usr/local/bin
~$ file /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin: directory

[bchatard]

I meant the bin (charm, pycharm ans so on) in /usr/local/bin

Hi there, I'm getting the same kind of problem.

I have a fresh M1 Max machine which I put Jetbrains Toolbox onto, then installed IntelliJ Ultimate using that.

I then performed the npm install command from the installation on the readme, then tried to use the launcher by calling alfred with idea. It didn't work ("Can't find settings path for IntelliJIdeaCommunity") so I repeated it with debug on. Here is the output:

@olliekennedy

You "installed IntelliJ Ultimate", but you didn't configure the workflow to use this version: "Can't find settings path for IntelliJIdeaCommunity"

[olliekennedy]

Thank you, fixed now :)

I've raised a small PR to fix the docs: https://github.com/bchatard/alfred-jetbrains/pull/328

Also might be worth putting in the last update that there was a breaking change - now defaulting to Community rather than Ultimate or Professional

Thanks for your help, your tool saves me a LOT of time!

PyCharm is installed using Jetbrains ToolBox in

/Users/dmitriy/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/PyCharm-C/ch-0/231.9161.41

[bchatard]

did you check the name of the app?

Please check if application '[PyCharm CE, PyCharm Community]' exists in [/Applications, ~/Applications, ~/Applications/JetBrains Toolbox]

With 2 macOS, both with ToolBox, PyCharm Community application's name is not the same... Thanks JetBrains 😆 One is "PyCharm Community" and this other is "PyCharm Community Edition" Just publish a new version, this fix the issue on my side

[jimmyn]

@bchatard thanks! it works now 👍
