Full closure to the story: it seemed to work for awhile after I manually ran the script because there is a cache further down in the workflow. Manually tuning the python script would load up the cache for 600 seconds, allowing the workflow to seemingly work. It would have been spotted easily enough by a second set of eyes, so, yes, sharing the work flow would have been easier. All of you were right 😜

Anyway, this case is solved and my work is good again, thanks.

Alfred doesn’t read your shell’s startup files, so the environments will indeed be different. Hard to say without looking at your Workflow which is the best fix. Using PHP’s full path in the script might be enough. Or redo the necessary parts of your setup before calling the script.

 

 

Doesn’t make a difference for this.

Including the full path to PHP did it!! Thanks!  At first I tried to do it in the form of $(which php) for future proofing, but that seems to be beyond my meager syntax understanding. Oh well, pasting the current path works, and that'll do.

It's dumping a variable from within the PHP script to JSON, by the looks of it.

Yes, that's right. The file is in PHP because it is a list of servers that I deploy updates to via Laravel Envoy. It is convenient to use the same list for an ssh workflow since I am also logging in to those servers a lot. 

I am wondering if the issue might be some sort of difference in the shell environment between when Alfred uses it and when I manually run the python script. I do have Alfred set to use iTerm, which is correct.

I really need this as well. I use the clipboard history dozens of times per day, and, like others, I tend to have infrequent but needed items in history. 

I got a new MacBook (M1/Monterey) and synced my Alfred setup from my old MacBook. Everything seems to work except for this one annoying thing.

I have a workflow with a script filter that runs `python alfredssh.py "{query}"` 

Inside the alfredssh.py, a file containing a list of servers is read in: `

I know it has been a minute since this question was asked, but, in case it helps anyone,  here is the solution I used for a similar situation (setting up a dev environment).

Firstly, I do not use just Alfred, but a combination of Alfred, Hammerspoon, Keyboard Maestro, and Karabiner.

In this case, I use Alfred Remote on my iPad to call a Hammerspoon URLs. I have one to start working, one to stop working, another one that will start up some queue processors for my Laravel project, and a couple of other miscellaneous items. (I really love Alfred Remote)

The Hammerspoon script opens and positions various windows, and calls some Keyboard Maestro commands. The KM items could probably all be done with Alfred workflows instead, if that is your preference.

Here is my Hammerspoon script so you can get a better idea of how I set up my dev environment:

function devLayout(eventName, params)
    hs.applescript('tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine" to do script "vpn: Start CBS"')
    hs.execute('/usr/local/bin/code -n "/Users/baconcheesefry/code/vscode/ib-ng.code-workspace"')
