    passing argument to ruby script

    in Workflow Help & Questions

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    I'm trying to create a simple alfred workflow (Keyword -> Run Script -> Post Notification) using ruby. If I run this scripts in the terminal, it runs just fine, but when I try to run them on Alfred, I get some errors:

    ruby start.rb {query}
    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.action.script] Code 1: -e:1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `start' for main:Object (NameError)

    I assumed that ruby wasn't in Alfred path so I tried

    /usr/bin/ruby start.rb {query}

    and got this error:

    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.action.script] Code 1: -e:1: unknown regexp option - b
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
/usr/bin/ruby start.rb asda
    If I use double quotes on the script name i get this errors:
    ruby "start.rb" {query}
    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.action.script] Code 1: -e:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting end-of-input
    and
    /usr/bin/ruby "start.rb" {query}
    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.action.script] Code 1: -e:1: unknown regexp option - b
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
/usr/bin/ruby "start.rb" asda
               ^
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting end-of-input
     
    Can someone enlighten me why this is happening?
     
    Thanks!

    ruby require_relative

    When I tried the regular require, I got this error:

    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- cpf (LoadError)
from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
from -e:1:in `<main>'

    But googling overnight, I found a solution: instead of using require, I used load and everything is working now!

    load "cpf.rb"

    Thanks for your time!

    ruby require_relative

    Hi guys,
     
    I'm trying to create one workflow using a script filter with ruby. When i put everything in alfred script box it works fine, but i'd like to keep thing organized, so I tried to create 3 separate files, that are placed in workflow folder, and then use alfred script box just to call the methods defined in this files. Something like this:
     
    require_relative "file1"
require_relative "file2"
require_relative "file3"


...


puts some_method(param)
     
    But when I do this, I get this exception:
     
    [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: -e:1:in `require_relative': cannot infer basepath (LoadError)
from -e:1:in `<main>'

    So, is it possible to do something like this. If yes, how?

     

    Thanks!
