"no such pattern" error when executing under sudo #55

Unexpected error while executing something like echo $string | gf urls as part of the bash script that need sudo privileges (e.g. massdns). The simplest example would be:

Me too , as i have installed the gf tool and then when i type on terminal gf it shows : no such pattern , if i type gf -list it shows the examples , so i cannot use the tool , its a bug or the problem of parrot systems maybe

My findings:

When performing 'gf --list' I got no results and I found I did not have a ~/.gf directory. I searched and found the json pattern files here: /home/[username]/go/src/github.com/tomnomnom/gf/examples/

My fix: mkdir ~/.gf && cp /home/[username]/go/src/github.com/tomnomnom/gf/examples/* ~/.gf/

gf works as expected now.

Well , i remember that i found a problem i had got another gf and was not full downloaded , but anyway a fixed it a long time ago

A quick way to find the path to the examples folder is to do a find:

sudo find / -type d -name "tomnomnom"

Once I found the path I followed the rest of the steps that @stlthwzrd outlined :)

This is also not working... again it shows no such pattern
