solved convert Workflow Doesn't Work

[bootecia]

Hello, I installed convert workflow.
When I type conv these things come.

But when I type the rest, nothing happens probably workflow crashes.

What should I do?

 

[bootecia]

hello anyone knows a fix?

[vitor]

Welcome @bootecia,

 

Use the updated version by @giovanni.

 

Also see Making Python 2 Workflows work on macOS Monterey 12.3 and above for an explanation and other alternatives.

hi, 

Yes I searched so much and found out that python 2 is outdated and found the updated versions of most of the workflows. Thank you.
There is one more problem, I don't create new thread and asking here but if its necessary to create one, I can.

 

The problem is, I installed the new version.

Set my API key;

But the thing still gives app key error.

 

 But the api key is working. 

[bootecia]

Well, nvm, the one I was working was from here: https://github.com/alfredapp/updated-third-party-python2-workflows#readme

and it looks like its outdated too.

I installed yours and its working.

thank you.

Hello, I have similar problems with the convert workflow.

 

I installed @giovanni updated version of the convert workflow (https://github.com/giovannicoppola/alfred-convert), set my API key correctly (I believe) as the APP_KEY value (and after checking on openexchanerates.org, my API key is indeed working) 

 

... but the currency conversion gets stuck with the "Fetching exchange rates..." message.

 

Any idea of what might be wrong?

[giovanni]

Hi @Aslan can you check the debugger output? 

[Aslan]

Hi Giovanni, please see here below.

It sounds like the API key is not set? Although it appears to be if I look in the "Environment Variables" APP_KEY Value...

[giovanni]

can you try without the key (ie leaving the key blank)? I think most conversions now work without it. 

[Aslan]

I just tried (left APP_KEY blank and restarted Alfred, just to be safe), but I am afraid I get the same error from the debugger: 

ERROR    [parser] unit eur is a fiat currency, but OpenExchangeRates.org API key isn't set

 

[giovanni]

are you sure it's completely blank (no spaces)? 

[Aslan]

Yes. To be safe, I deleted the workflow and re-installed it "as is" (no APP_KEY) and still get the same error:

[giovanni]

what is your update interval? perhaps you can force refresh by deleting the exchange_rates.pickle  file? It should be in the  /Users/sandro/Library/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-convert-GC/ folder

[Aslan]

Giovanni, In the folder you mention there seems to be no "exchange_rates.pickle" file. Only 2 files:

alfred-convert-GC.log

nokey (which appears to be empty, zero bytes)

[giovanni]

I see, and may I ask you to also check the active_currencies.txt file in the  /Users/sandro/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-convert-GC/ folder? Does it have a list of fiat and crypto currencies? 

[Aslan]

In case it helps, I should maybe also mention two things:

 

1. I used to have an older version of the convert workflow (which does not work anymore, given the Python 2 change with Monterey and which, in any case, I think I fully deleted)

2. here is a screenshot of Alfred when I call the convert workflow. As you can see, the "Fetching exchange rate..." never disappears, but I am also always offered the "Set APP_KEY to convert this currency" option

 

[Aslan]

Yes, the active_currencies.txt file also has a list of crypto currencies

[giovanni]

it has both fiat and crypto? are both EUR and USD listed? 

[Aslan]

Yes: both fiat and crypto currencies and both EUR and USD listed (among many other currencies) in the active_currencies.txt file (in the .../Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-convert-GC folder)

[giovanni]

could you try to delete both folders? The one in Application Support and the one in Caches, then rerun your query?  

[Aslan]

Done: I fully quit Alfred, deleted both folders, launched Alfred again, launched the query conv 1EUR USD.

 

Both folders reappeared, but I am afraid no difference in the results (i.e. same as the screenshot above)

[giovanni]

sorry I can't think of anything else to try. I installed it fresh onto another computer and it works for me. If you want to post the alfred-convert-GC.log file somewhere, I am happy to review it. 

[Aslan]

Thanks for trying, @giovanni. I'd be happy to share with you the alfred-convert-GC.log file: can you suggest where?

 

Looking at it (while admittedly not knowing anything about this!) it seems to me that the workflow:

• recognizes that the OpenExchangeRates.org API key isn't set
• therefore tries to fetch the exchange rates from ExchangeRate-API.com
• encounters an SSL certificate verify error ("unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)")

Or at least this is what it says in the first few lines of the alfred-convert-GC.log file:

 

09:12:52 convert.py:73 ERROR    [parser] unit eur is a fiat currency, but OpenExchangeRates.org API key isn't set

Does it help in any way?

 

[giovanni]

did you install python with brew? A quick search leads to this:

Hi,

I had the same exact issue (same log traces), here is how I fixed it:

1. I installed python from the python site (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.17/python-2.7.17-macosx10.9.pkg)
2. I went to Applications / Python 2.7 and ran: Install Certificates.command
3. I reinstalled the convert workflow, added the API_Key

From then on it works
