No workflows will run


Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

 

I get the feeling I'm making a fundamental error here. I've had a look around on the forums but I'm stumped.

 

I recently got V2 and created a workflow. When I press enter (or click on the workflow title from the Alfred box), all that happens is that a space character gets added to the name of the Workflow. I assumed I was doing something wrong but then I downloaded a few Workflows from http://www.alfredworkflow.com/ and the same thing happens with all of them.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Let’s make a test:

 

1. download this workflow I made named Now

2. double click the file to install it

3. once installed quit Alfred preferences

4. now bring Alfred (usually option+space)

5. now type the keyword now

6. now hit return key

You should see the current time.

 

If all it's doing is adding a space to the end of the workflow keyword, that more than likely is the indication that the workflow accepts input and is waiting for it. Depending on the workflow/keyword you entered, provide that workflow some input and then press enter
