Continue execution after finishing terminal command?

[Josef VI.]

I'm building a workflow that allows me to quickly edit any text on mac (in selection) and edit it in a nvim buffer. But only when I quit the nvim application, it should continue to run the workflow

.

 

on the image, zou can see the workflow. right now the workflow will open the terminal, enter the command but immediatly start with the next thing

 

I could write a seperate script that for example waits for write actions on the specified file and then go on from there but I would prefer a simple alfred style solution. Is there any way to achieve the desired behaviour?

Welcome @Josef VI.,

 

The solution is to invert the problem. It’s Neovim/Terminal that must tell Alfred when the job is done.

Break that connection before the last Automation Task. Connect instead an External Trigger. Then, in you Terminal command, do something like:

 

nvim /path/to/file
osascript -e 'tell application id "com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred" to run trigger "TRIGGER_NAME_HERE" in workflow "WORKFLOW_BUNDLE_ID_HERE"
