Some plugins are not functional #3

Closed 99z closed 4 years ago

Have mySIMBL installed with no issues. SpotlightSIMBL appears in the Plugins list, and Console.app logs a "Hello from Flashlight!" message. Other plugins installed via mySIMBL are working fine.

No crashes or anything when installing/uninstalling plugins. Plugins simply don't do anything - installing any plugin, e.g. the Emoji plugin, then searching for an emoji do nothing. Spotlight behaves as if the plugin doesn't exist - or Flashlight isn't working properly.

Noticing now that certain plugins seem to work? Quick Web Search is working, so is Create a Note. Could this be an issue on the plugin end?

w0lfschild commented 8 years ago

Not sure sounds like a plugin issue. I'm sure some have probably broken since they were originally implemented.

Make sure you're also using the right keywords to trigger the plugin. The emoji plugin works fine for me on 10.12

Are there any sort of logs I'd be able to examine? Really strange I'm having issues - here's Quick Web Search working:

Notes work as well, and I even get the following notification:

Maybe try deleting your flashlight plugins ~/Library/FlashlightPlugins and re-installing?

My Weather Plugin not working as well

coreonyx commented 8 years ago

probably weather.html didn't get the value passed from the plugin.py

w0lfschild commented 8 years ago

Yes some plugins are broken. I probably won't personally be doing any work to fix any plugins.

@coreonyx The weather plugin is the one unfixable plugin, at least, easily, openweathermap, what the plugin uses requires an API key. I've been able to fix it with my own API key. But personal ones have limitations and commercial ones are expensive. But, either way, MacOS has it's own weather info in spotlight now, so why continue working on a seperate one?
