No workflows will run

[mikeebee]

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

That works perfect Carlos. But David was right on the money, I didn't realise that additional inputs were required. Newbie workflow error!

 

Thanks for the help guys!

If you don't want the extra input required then change the "Argument Required" to "Argument Optional" or "No Argument"

Great stuff, thanks!
