Pandoctor: An Alfred GUI for Pandoc

[dfay]

I don't have it installed to test but it's probably a matter of changing refs to Alfred-2 in the paths above to Alfred-3

It doesn't work

 

 

I have same problems as you can find in log below. I would be great to get solution for that.

Isn't this the same error you had one year ago, which I posted the fix for?

Nope, It is not.

Right, sorry. It was smargh I told how to fix this. 

 

If if you check the URL in a browser, you'll see it's moved again. You need to update the URL to the new one. 

 

Better yet, change request('GET', …) to get(...)

 

That way it won't break next time the page moves. 

 

Of course, the page contents may have changed as well as the URL, which may not be so easy to fix.

Tell a lie. I did post it here, just in another thread. Follow the instructions there (they're a bit clearer):

[deanishe]

Did you even read the error message before posting?

 

What do you expect anyone on the Alfred forums to be able to do about the pandoc.org server timing out?

My bad. I'm stupid. I'm sorry for that. I will do my best to not make such mistakes in future. Thanks for your feedback.

We all have our dumb moments. The main thing is, spending a few minutes trying to figure it out for yourself is always the best first step because you'll often have to wait for a few hours to get an answer on the forum.

[40-02]

I absolutely agree with you. I've been selfish and lazy. I'll try to be better person.

FYP.

[Bernardo_V]

Are you guys still using this workflow? I tried the suggested fixes, but to no avail. Considering how Pandoc is such an important tool for those writing in plain text, I find it a shame that this should remain broken (considering it is the case). I went as far as creating an Keyboard Maestro macro for using Pandoc with input for parameters, but it is rather rudimentary compared to what this workflow could do. If I can't get this to work, I will try to recreate some of its functions (in Alfred) using Applescript, as that is the best I can do (I am rather clueless in python).

The author no longer develops workflows.

 

The workflow probably isn't that broken. It would certainly be easier to fix it than try to re-implement it in Keyboard Maestro and AppleScript.

I know. My question was directed to you and others in order to know if you were still using it and if so by means of which fix. It might be the case that someone took the trouble of fixing it, but perhaps not to post it here or elsewhere.

Considering that the previous issue had to do with the get function, and that the Pandoc website probably changed the content of the page, it might have to do with that. I checked those lines in the scripts to see if they would make any sense to me, but I don't really know enough python to understand what's wrong. Any insight is much appreciated.

Yeah, that was broken from day one, tbh, but your error doesn't look like the previous ones.

[ClassicRob]

Any chance we could get an update for this?  That would be really awesome! It's not working currently.

[smarg19]

To everyone who still has interest in this workflow:

 

I am sorry that it no longer works. I no longer need or use the workflow. I developed it when I was in graduate school and writing all the time. I have since left academia and haven't really needed this (or my other workflows) in years. However, I do still love this little workflow and would love to get it healthy again, but it has been years since I've fiddled with Alfred workflows. If anyone wants to become the new maintainer, I would be happy to spend a weekend afternoon or an evening pairing with someone to get it updated and fixed and then hand over the Github repo. Let me know if you are interested.
