Accessing Data Directory

[alexcory]

Could anyone tell me why this doesn't work?

 

<?php

require_once('workflows.php');

$w = new Workflows;


# Navigate to data directory

$data_dir = $w->home() . '/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data';


# lists all the files inside the data directory

$data_dir = glob("$data_dir" . '/*');


# grab bundle id from project folder

$plist_dir = $query . "/info.plist";


$info_plist = simplexml_load_file( $plist_dir );

$bundle_id = $info_plist->dict->string;


// # Grab the data sub-directory's name to compare to the bundle id

foreach ($data_dir as $data_subdir) {


    // grab the end of the file path (the name of bundle_id)

    $data_subdir = basename($data_subdir).PHP_EOL


    // if name of data directory matches the bundle_id

    if ($data_subdir === $bundle_id) {


        // then open the data directory in Finder

        $cmd = 'open -a Finder "$data_dir"';

        exec("$cmd");

    }

}

You have the single/double quotes backward on this line:

        $cmd = 'open -a Finder "$data_dir"';

You probably need a semi-colon on this line:

$data_subdir = basename( $data_subdir ).PHP_EOL

Depending on what is being returned, you might need equivalence (==) rather than equality (===) on this line:

if ( $data_subdir === $bundle_id )

You need to use the "{query}" variable from Alfred not the "$query" variable on this line:

$plist_dir = $query . "/info.plist";

The following line isn't the data directory.

$data_dir = $w->home() . '/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data';

If you want to grab all the data directories for Alfred Workflows, then you could just make it easier:

$data_dirs = scandir($w->data() . "../");

It also might be easier/more reliable to get the bundle id from each plist by doing:

$cmd =" /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy  -c 'Print :bundleid' '$data_dir/info.plist'";
$bundle = exec($cmd);

 

I'm assuming that you want to grab all of the files out a some matching workflow's data directory. If you just want to grab all the files out of the current workflow's workflow directory, then you just need to do:

$files = scandir(".");

Thanks Shawn!
