Not showing conversions

[macrospecter]

Hi there. I tried out another of your workflows, and seem to have run into a problem. I can't get Convert to work, even after feeding an API in. I've pasted below the contents of the debugging report when I tried to convert 300ml to another unit by typing "conv 300ml..." Any idea what my problem might be?

[14:21:40.355] Convert[Script Filter] Queuing argument '300' [14:21:40.430] Convert[Script Filter] Script with argv '300' finished [14:21:40.431] ERROR: Convert[Script Filter] Code 1: . http_proxy= https_proxy= xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

yes, please check the solution here: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/20088-one-workflow-problem-led-to-another-cal/?do=findComment&comment=103767

I'm sorry, that didn't work for me. I got the following error: "xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates."

how did you install python? Sometimes things get confused if there are multiple python installations. what do you get if you try which -a python in terminal?

[macrospecter]

It's saying Python not found, in response to that command. I have, however, installed Python 3.11 using both the package installer and Homebrew. I got messages from both the installer popup window and Terminal, respectively, that the installation was complete. I'm not a coder, though, and so don't use it myself--so I can't say if it's working.

[macrospecter]

I will say, though, that the issue seems to have changed. I'm now, rather than just not getting any feedback at all from the query, getting an error message. Here's the debugger report:

08:40:34 workflow.py:2093 DEBUG ---------- Convert (4.0.1) ---------- 08:40:34 convert.py:647 DEBUG query : 100 miles to kilometers 08:40:34 workflow.py:1483 DEBUG reading settings from /Users/erinmiller/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-convert-GC/settings.json 08:40:34 workflow.py:2285 DEBUG last run version: 4.0.1 08:40:34 convert.py:104 DEBUG version=4.0.1, last_version=4.0.1 08:40:34 background.py:233 DEBUG [update] command cached: /Users/erinmiller/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-convert-GC/update.argcache 08:40:34 background.py:237 DEBUG [update] passing job to background runner: ['/usr/local/bin/python3', '-m', 'workflow.background', 'update'] . 08:40:34 workflow.py:2093 DEBUG ---------- Convert (4.0.1) ---------- 08:40:34 background.py:243 DEBUG [update] background job started 08:40:34 convert.py:382 DEBUG [parser] quantity=100.0, tail=miles to kilometers 08:40:34 convert.py:484 DEBUG [parser] from_unit=miles 08:40:34 convert.py:488 DEBUG [parser] to_unit=to 08:40:34 convert.py:563 CRITICAL invalid query (100 miles to kilometers): More than 2 units specified 08:40:34 convert.py:626 DEBUG finished 08:40:34 workflow.py:2314 DEBUG set last run version: 4.0.1 08:40:34 workflow.py:2136 DEBUG ---------- finished in 0.127s ----------

now it's running correctly. It's interpreting to as a unit, just enter 100 miles km

[macrospecter]

Oh, of course. Thank you!

There does seem to be one last issue, when I try to convert currencies: I'm getting an error that I need to set the APP_KEY variable. However, I did get an App ID from Open Exchange Rates and pasted that into the configuration field. Do you happen to know if the App ID is different from the API key? I couldn't find info about it anywhere on their website.

[giovannicoppola]

App ID should work. what is the debugger message?

[macrospecter]

09:30:22 workflow.py:2093 DEBUG ---------- Convert (4.0.1) ---------- 09:30:22 background.py:243 DEBUG [update] background job started 09:30:22 convert.py:382 DEBUG [parser] quantity=100.0, tail=USD yen 09:30:22 convert.py:484 DEBUG [parser] from_unit=USD 09:30:22 convert.py:488 DEBUG [parser] to_unit=yen 09:30:22 convert.py:73 ERROR [parser] unit USD is a fiat currency, but OpenExchangeRates.org API key isn't set

And it says in the Alfred window, as two dropdown options below the window: "Fetching exchange rates (Exchange rates will be momentarily possible)" and "Set APP_KEY to convert this currency."

I tried setting API_KEY in three ways: as the API Key in the main configuration window (the one that pops up when you click on the "[x]" icon on the workflow page), as a hand-entered APP_KEY for an environmental variable, and as the default for the API_KEY configuration variable. Not all at once--I tried these separately.

[giovannicoppola]

setting the API in Configure Workflow... should work. probably unrelated, but but could you try EUR or the yen abbreviation jpy?

[macrospecter]

I tried EUR and JPY; they were recognized (a brief "unrecognized currency" message flashed but disappeared), but I get the same error messages for them.

[giovannicoppola]

@macrospecter just checking if this is solved for you... I just checked the currency conversion and it still works

[macrospecter]

It didn't work initially, but for some reason it does now! Thank you.
