Alfred uses its own PATH setting,

@vitor Thank you, this makes it clear. I had missed that part in the documentation. I will stop using the fully qualified path, release an updated workflow. (PS: also thanks @xilopaint)

Also, thanks for linking the discussion about bundling python in Alfred. It does seem like a bad idea after that explanation.

June 8, 2022

@vitor thanks for taking the time to answer. Appreciate it.

Just to confirm if i understand the reasoning behind your suggestion to use python3 (instead of fully qualified `/usr/bin/python3`):
- so we're basically betting on the user not messing with the `PATH` (and keeping python3 on it)
- ... instead of a situation where apple removes the shim -> Alfred users having to install python3 themselves and the path could differ depending on the manual installation method?

In that case, i'm leaning towards going with `/usr/bin/python3` (instead of `python3`) because that is most certain to work right now with the least friction for most users. And update if/when the time comes.

Another Side question : In case you know, have we ever considered bundling a python environment with the Alfred app? Since many workflows rely on it? Especially now with the bundling mess?

June 8, 2022

Hello @designjoe

I'm working on this. Here's an updated version of the workflow that uses python3 that seems to be working for me but doesn't work for another user. Would you mind giving it a go?

You can follow the progress on this GitHub issue https://github.com/vinaywadhwa/justwatch-alfred/issues/8

@vitor could use some help, if you'd be kind enough to take a look at the discussion in the GitHub issue.

Any way you could add Microsoft Edge? I have been using Edge to replace Brave and would love to keep using this.

Added support for Microsoft Edge - here you go 🙂

Yes, 100% for Unbelievable. If I type slowly, I get hits on "U", more hits on "UN" and it errors when I get to "UNB".

Thanks! Found the problem and it's fixed.

You can wait for the workflow to auto-update (in max 2 days) or get the latest release (1.0.5, for now) from here https://github.com/vinaywadhwa/justwatch-alfred/releases .

If you are interested in more details

- The "API" this workflow uses (justwatch) sends some bad data for some titles.

- The workflow now expects and handles the bad data better in the latest release (1.0.5, just released), all thanks to your report 👏🏼

Seems like the API the workflow uses is glitching sometimes. Are you able to consistently reproduce it for a specific movie/tv-show name?

It fails 💯 percent of the times for "unbelievable" for you?

@Bemawr

Got some suggestions from the community. Trying to make the most of quarantine time 🙂

Auto-Update is one of the things i added in the 4 updates 🙂 ..

So you need to manually update one .. last .. time ! and then it'll auto update forever.

@Vinay W I don't know if this is useful, but Alfred-Workflow has its own lightweight version of requests that you could probably use instead of bundling several megabytes of libraries.

I learnt that while researching the forums while building this workflow. Pretty cool.

Couldn't use it because i was not using the requests library myself. Its a dependency for a 3rd party library this workflow uses. Didn't want to go through the trouble of rewriting the library itself. Also, the total size of my workflow is 1MB which seemed reasonable.

Would consider using this lightweight version in the next one. Thanks!

May 2, 2020

@lari @Bemawr @edbro A new release is out. Hopefully, this shall fix it all.

Please get the latest release (1.0.2) from here https://github.com/vinaywadhwa/justwatch-alfred/releases and see if it works for you?

Again, thanks a ton for letting me know about the problems. You just might have saved many other users a lot of time and frustration.

May 2, 2020

@shadyabhi Great. Glad you like it.

@Bemawr

I guess i missed some other dependency. Still trying to wrap my head around packaging alfred workflows. Noob Alert 🙂

Did you try deleting and reinstalling the new version? That might fix it, since its working for some people? Let me know how that goes.

I'll try to figure it out. Maybe @deanishe can help speed things up. Lets see. Watch this space.

Hey, i guess your problem is something else. Could you help me with the error logs?

In case you don't know, this is how you can see the logs - https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/utilities/debug/

Can copy paste here, if you can.

May 2, 2020

Hey guys - Thanks for trying the workflow. Sorry for the error.

Could you give the latest version a try and see if it works now? I tried fixing the dependencies.

@JJJJ

I re-wrote the whole thing in a way that works more reliably across different browsers (Technical details - using JXA instead of AppleScript now, as suggested here)
Should work for you now. If you are still interested, give the latest version a try (v1.0.2, as of now) and let me know if it works.
Thanks for letting me know about this.
Also updated the original post

@deanishe

i will post the code on github soon.
Getting the hang of how i should structure my workflows. This discussion helps. Thanks!

April 23, 2020

Sorry, I'm not sure what's wrong then.

Here's a demo of me trying to do what you are (probably) doing - Download, install & run in all 3 browsers that the workflow supports - Safari, Google Chrome & Brave. See if you are doing the same thing?

(i'll leave here as a demo for future users)

Demo - https://imgur.com/oSbmaPK

If it still doesn't work, it probably has something to do with the browser versions we are using (I'm on Catalina 10.15.3, Safari 13.0.5, Chrome 81.0.4044.122, Brave 1.5.123)

April 23, 2020

Oops! sorry to hear that. Let's solve that.

What version are you running? Also, which browser?
v1.0.1 is the latest (as of now) - https://github.com/vinaywadhwa/Go-Home-Alfred/releases/download/1.0.1/Go.Home.Alfred.-.v1.0.1.alfredworkflow

I noticed the Download link in the Github page was pointing to an older version, so it could be that you are running an older version (which had a similar bug)

Go Home, Alfred

An Alfred workflow which enables you to use a keyboard shortcut to go to the homepage of a website you are on.

Do you often get stuck deep inside the rabbit hole (of a website) and come out by either

backspacing the URL a gazillion times to go to the home page
or by clicking the website logo usually on the top left

UGHH! make it a keyboard shortcut with this Alfred workflow!
