VMWare Fusion Controller in Share your Workflows Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks Ted! I notice a issue when I use it to list VMs. At line 45 of the vmware.rb, inventory = File.open(inventory_path) When it runs to that line, it raise the error of the following [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: vmware.rb:49:in `split': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError) from vmware.rb:49:in `block in inventory_list' from vmware.rb:48:in `each_line' from vmware.rb:48:in `inventory_list' from vmware.rb:25:in `list' from main.rb:11:in `generate' from main.rb:22:in `list' from main.rb:128:in `<main>' I notice that it's because the file of ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmInventory is encoded in UTF-8 rather than US-ASCII. I fixed the issue by change the line to inventory = File.open(inventory_path, "r:UTF-8") Not sure if this change is a valid fix, so just give you a hand up.

I notice a issue when I use it to list VMs.
At line 45 of the vmware.rb,
inventory = File.open(inventory_path)
When it runs to that line, it raise the error of the following

I notice that it's because the file of ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmInventory is encoded in UTF-8 rather than US-ASCII.
