Alfred shell workflow cannot find terminal command that used to work and exists on host OS

[trillionanswers]

Hi there,

 

I have been using a workflow that runs a script on my machine for about 6 months now. When using it today it no longer works.

 

When checking the debug info alfred reports that this command cannot be found. The program does exist on my machine however and works of course when I run the script via a command line shell.

 

I have the script using /bin/bash as the 'language', but have also tried switching to /bin/zsh to no avail.

 

The command it cannot find is gshuf.

 

Alfred version: 4.1.1 [1172]

MacOS: 10.15.7

 

Not sure if this started happening after a version change to either of these versions, Alfred or the OS respectively.

Where is the program? If it isn't in /bin or /usr/bin, it's expected that it won't work in Alfred.

 

If it’s in another directory, call the program by its full path, not just its name, e.g. /usr/local/bin/gshuf.

@deanishe thanks! That did the trick perfectly.

 

Is this something that changed in a recent update because previously it worked regardless off the fact that this program is not located in /bin or /usr/bin...

 

Either way thanks so much for the help!

No, it’s always worked that way. It’s possible that your system configuration has changed, though.
