Search for multiple address in GoogleMaps to make a route

[Seth]

I type in 80525 and press enter and nothing happens

[giovanni]

have you entered the calendar names in workflow configuration? 

[Seth]

Yes sir! When I run the script it gets stuck and I also have to restart the calendar.  I am testing it on just one of the calendars for now (Crew 1).  Does it just pull from the 7 days that are showing on the calendar? 

[giovanni]

it will pull the number of days set in the 'Days' parameter in workflow configuration.  do you get an error in the debugger? perhaps too many items? 

[Seth]

It just stops here and nothing happens.  It will be searching about 100 events but right now because I am testing it on 1 crew it's only looking for about 25-30 events

[Seth]

So when it says Days: 7 (Number of days to retrieve) I will need it to search for the 7 days that are currently open on the calendar.  We are generally "routing" our schedule about 4 months in advance...

[giovanni]

can you try to set that value (Days) to 1 or 2? It sounds it's too many to process

[Seth]

I changed it to 1 day and that didn't seem to work.  It also makes the calendar not respond every time.

[giovanni]

sorry about that, I think I tried a few events as you can see in the video but probably you have way more.

I could try to convert it to JXA which I hear is better than applescript, but I want to make sure that timing out is the problem. 

Could you try to create one calendar with one event? Just to check that it works for you.

Also, what is your MacOS version?

[Seth]

I got an error this time...

[giovanni]

this is with one calendar and one event within the pulled range? 

[Seth]

Actually no 🤦‍♂️.  I did the test calendar with only 2 events and it worked.  Then I tried my regular calendar and it did not work.  The regular calendar is only search 2 days thought a total of 9 events but it gets stuck

[giovanni]

great, so it works with 2 events but not 9, my guess is that it gets stuck trying to parse one of the events. If you are willing to export that calendar and share it with me, I can help troubleshoot. 

[Seth]

Sure.  Normally they're at about 20 events a day.  Also, we will need to set it up so that it searches for the events that are currently "showing" on the calendar (Aka. whatever I am looking at) and not the current week.  We make our routes about 4-6 months in advance so the way that it is currently set up will not work.  

My smallest calendar is 3MB.  Is there another way to get this to you?

you can actually use an Alfred workflow! Upload File by @vitor and send me the link via DM

[Seth]

I installed it but I cant figure out how to upload it and send it to you.

select the file in Finder, open the File Action menu (keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Opt+\) then choose 'Upload File'. If you don't see 'Upload File' in the menu, make sure the 'Workflow File Actions' checkbox below (in Features) is checked.
