Not working in Mavericks #8

Closed ulken closed 3 years ago

ulken commented 10 years ago

Stumbled upon this project while debugging a workflow built upon this template which was not working (anymore). I could not locate any significant differences and thus tried to run the basic test code in a fresh template, which did not work either.

Looking further into the issue, I discovered a slight change from your example projects:

($LOAD_PATH << File.expand_path("..", __FILE__)).uniq!

at the top of Ruby files which required local dependencies, referenced relative to the project folder.

The template lacks this line and thus crashes when looking for bundle/bundler/setup. At least for me, on Mavericks running Ruby 2.0.0.

Just thought I'd let you know.

@ulken were you able to make the template work by adding ($LOAD_PATH << File.expand_path("..", __FILE__)).uniq! to main_with_rescue_feedback.rb and main.rb? I'm not having any luck.

@zhaocai - might you be able to update this for ruby 2.0? Thanks for your work on this!

ulken commented 10 years ago

@benjaminwood I also prepended LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to the Script Filter/Run Script as per Shell Script Locale in Mavericks.

You may have to reinstall some of your gems for 2.0.0 if you are coming from 1.8 or the like.

A tip is to not run the scripts through the Alfred dialog while developing/debugging, but through a terminal, to get easier access to error messages.

ulken commented 10 years ago

Another tip, as I hinted in my initial post, is to look closer into some of @zhaocai's own, actively developed workflows and get some inspiration there. I mean, he's gone through the whole process himself and you might be able to pick up what necessary changes he carried out. Browse the commit history for example.

Good luck!

@ulken awesome! Thanks so much for the tips!

Did you figure it out @benjaminwood ? I'm on Yosemite and can't get Alfred to show any response beneath its search bar for my workflow. I added these 3 lines from @zhaocai script, but it didn't fix the problem.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
($LOAD_PATH << File.expand_path("..", __FILE__)).uniq!

@andersennl it seems the old workflow I was working on last year doesn't work in Yosemite either. Though, I think part of my workaround was to use ruby 1.8.x back then... which doesn't ship with Yosemite.

This project hasn't been updated since 2013, I think it needs some attention if it's going to be compatible with modern osx/ruby versions.

andersennl commented 9 years ago

@benjaminwood thanks again for looking into this project again after all this time. I didn't realize that it isn't compatible to the new versions of Ruby and Yosemite. Thanks again for your help.

benjaminwood commented 9 years ago

@andersennl no problem. Cheers :beers:

estiens commented 9 years ago

Any work on getting a ruby workflow wrapper that will work with Ruby 2?

ricburton commented 9 years ago

@benjaminwood do you have any suggestions for good tutorials on writing Ruby-based workflows on Yosemite?

benjaminwood commented 9 years ago

@ricburton - No, sadly I haven't had the time to look for alternatives. I know this project is very dead though- hasn't been touched since 2013. If you find something more current, let us know!

andersennl commented 9 years ago

@ricburton I had a hard time finding good tutorials/examples myself and finally just looked directly at the scripts from others to figure out how they work. I think the hardest part is to know how to generate the proper xml output. This is a small repo I worked on which has a xml output: https://github.com/andersennl/dict.cc Basically the xml has to have this format: example

I found this super helpful: http://buddylreno.github.io/adventures-with-alfred-a-basic-ruby-workflow/

I built my balance checker using Plaid.com’s API :) https://cloudup.com/inXRxgQs7AZ

@ricburton very cool, nice work.

Also, I had never heard of plaid. Cool stuff!

Does your workflow handle plaid auth yet? If so, are you going to open source/share it? I'd try it out!

ricburton commented 9 years ago

Yeah it’s using Plaid Auth. I’ll definitely open source it in the next two weeks. I have 10 days left in San Francisco and 3 more interviews so I’m a little busy right now :)

If you’d like it sooner, feel free to email me directly on i@rb.cm and I’ll pop it your way.
