I know there are a few lorem ipsum workflows already floating around, but I wanted to make my own and have had this on GitHub for a while.

 

I recently had a feature request to add character based generation which some may find useful as well so I figured it was time to share it here.

This doesn’t seem to work for me anymore since upgrading to Monterrey.

 

The debugger says:

[11:33:40.057] ERROR: Lorem Ipsum[Run Script] /bin/bash: php: command not found

Check the latest version, released a few hours ago. The Workflow was rewritten to use Python instead of PHP. You’ll probably still need to install it, since the author is using Python 3 which does not ship with macOS. Making a new issue on GitHub might be more effective in this case since the author hasn’t visited the forum in a while.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I got in touch with the author and they've kindly updated the workflow (v3.1) to work with Python 2, which is included with macOS.
