Updated to v1.5 - Improved Git workflow and improved PATH search

Update via Alleyoop or manual download:  Cheaters.alfredworkflow

Let me know if that sorts things out for you.

thanks

The new code doesn't work with spaces either. I knocked up a quick fix.

Alas it doesn't seem to work if there are spaces in path, even with all the escaping Alfred does. The shell script imageOptim doesn't quote any of the path/file variables. I started a branch to fix it, but it seems like he's ripped out all the code and now it starts up the ImageOptim.app.

 

5/16/13 8:10:57.821 PM Alfred Workflow[4882]: ERROR: git is NOT installed, cannot continue

 

but when I type git in terminal:

 

 

Macintosh:bin $ git

usage: git [--version] [--help] [-c name=value]

           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]

           [-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]

           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]

           <command> [<args>]

 

<snip>

 

See 'git help <command>' for more information on a specific command.

 

I think your git command is not in the path inherited by the Alfred process

Can you type in a Terminal and post the results

echo $PATH
which git
type -P git
type -ap git

Then in Alfred create a new blank workflow, say hotkey to script, oh hold on ... here, try this:

getGitPath.alfredworkflow

See what the output is (it's posted as a large type notification and copied to the clipboard for you to paste in here)

For me:

$ echo $PATH
/Users/james/.rbenv/shims:/Users/james/.rbenv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin:/Users/james/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/james/Projects/Scripts:/Users/james/Scripts

$ which git
/usr/local/bin/git

$ type -P git
/usr/local/bin/git

$ type -ap git
/usr/local/bin/git
/usr/bin/git
/usr/local/bin/git

PATH = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
which git = [/usr/bin/git]

PATH = /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
which git = [/usr/local/bin/git]

thanks!

Link seems to be broken:

I took the liberty of adding it to Dev Doctor ... pull request: https://github.com/sydlawrence/alfred-dev-doctor/pull/31

Apologies for the issues. I think I've fixed it now.

New version here.

[link in original post also updated]

Delete the /Users/jeromepasquier/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.stouty.cheaters/cheaters directory, then re-run. It should do the clone for you.

Ah, found the bug.

New version here.

Hope that one works.

Thank you, but now its gone wilder. 17:45 local shows with "now" 15:45, with tz: 13:45.

 

Can you grap the system time?

 

Greetings

Can you try this one:

Can you show me the output you get from:

ls -l /etc/localtime
 

thanks

Hmm, let me have a look. You are in germany right? CEST = +0200 UTC?

"now" always shows UTC, so that looks right. My tz looks wrong.

Could you try this debug version?

It writes some info to a file on your Desktop -> ~/Desktop/Cheaters_DEBUG.txt

Could you send me the file if you have chance?

thanks

James

I wonder if it's a bash version issue? Could you run 

type -a bash

which bash

bash --version
 

In your Terminal?

thanks

I am having an Error with cheaters.

"ERROR /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfre..."

 

I've placed the cheaters folder as you told.

Wait, did you move the cheaters directory manually? I don't see the .git folder in your cheaters folder.

See mine:

Have you made any edits to index.html? If so, copy it somewhere safe, then delete the cheaters dir, and re-run the workflow, then copy your edited index.html back, and run git commit -m 'my changes' on the terminal. Only if you changed index.html, otherwise just delete and re-run the workflow.

I am having an Error with cheaters.

"ERROR /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfre..."

 

I've placed the cheaters folder as you told.

What's the full error? Can you check your console.app log? Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app then run the workflow and look in system.log for "Alfred Workflow" errors.

This is excellent. Thank you very much!

Hit your hotkey and Cheaters will appear in a web-popup.

v1.3 - Cheaters.alfredworkflow

UPDATE: 19th May 2013

v1.5 - Cheaters.alfredworkflow - Updated Git workflow and improved PATH search

Source code

Blog Post

To-Do

• Find more elegant solution to the Automator Launcher spinning gear icon hack. I tried this as both an Automator workflow and an application, both spawn the spinning gear. If everyone had Bartender, the spinning gear could be hidden by Bartender and there would be no need for the two workflows. Suggestions welcome!
• Update Cheaters git repo from origin/upstream master.
• Show progress indicator when cloning/updating.
• DONE: Implement update logic. I should have put the git repo in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/$bundle_id. As it is now, the Cheaters git repo is wiped out when you install a new version of the workflow.
• DONE: Make Alleyoop compatible.

Hi,

nice workflow, but i habe a little problem with my timezone. df now give me my time - 2 hours (Germany / Summertime).

Mayby you can fix it?

Not sure if this will work for you - I added a 'tz' param to change the times to your TZ:

@stouty The advantage of having YYYYMMDD at the end of the filename is a sort by name will also sort similar files by date. 

The original workflow used date created .. I actually meant the current timestamp. What do you think people would prefer?

@stouty The advantage of having YYYYMMDD at the end of the filename is a sort by name will also sort similar files by date. 

I'll change it so YYYYMMDD is the default. I've been working on a way for the user to choose from some defaults or add their own

/Volumes/*/.Trashes
 

Probably need sudo privileges to get at all files though.

I have an alias:

alias emptytrash='sudo rm -rfv /Volumes/*/.Trashes; sudo rm -rfv ~/.Trash; sudo rm -rfv /private/var/log/asl/*.asl'
 

but that of course prompts me for my password. 

Anyone know of a way to get sudo privs in a workflow? NOPASSWD=/bin/rm  and ssh to localhost with authkeys? ... poor security though.

It it possible to make this output the following format;

 

 

2013-03-25 08-46 PM

 

I'd like to insert "2013-03-25 08-46 PM" before the file name, I find it's better for sorting and finding files.

 

I tried it myself, but I failed as it was in Automator and I have no coding skills whatsoever (even though one might argue Automator doesn't require any.)

 

I have another extension I found from some one using bash to copy the date and time to the clipboard. I was able to modify that script for the above format. Since this is an automator action, I tried everything I could think of, I just fail in coding.

 

If not, no worries, right now I just manually replace the filename or I save it correctly at the time of creation. I also use the current date and time, not the created date.

 

Regardless, thanks, always appreciate new workflows.

Here you go: Add Date and Time Before Filename.alfredworkflow

Only tested briefly, so let me know if you have any issues.

Nice. Although I did modify the Automater workflow to use a YYYYMMDD format. I find this format much better for filenames.

Yes, I'd like to re-write so it takes options for the date/time format and insert location. Easier to re-write as a shell script I think if I want that.
