Passing a string to NotificationCenter with Run NSApplescript

[syno]

I was encountered a strange problem with my workflow.

I want to use Run NSApplescript to pass a string to NotificationCenter.

So I wrote in Run NSApplescript as follows.

 

set q "foo"

return q

 

And in Post Notification,

 

Text: {query}.

 

But the text field in NotificationCenter is empty.

 

I also tested the case passing a number.

 

ser q 0

return q

 

Then NotificationCenter correctly showed 0 in the text field.

 

What is wrong with the former case?

I'm not sure why the second one works…

I do know your AppleScript should read `set q to "query"`. Your second declaration should likewise read `set q to 0`

Thanks Tyler Eich.

 

You are right. They are just my typos.

The correct scripts I wrote are

 

set q to "foo"

 

or

 

set q to 0.

 

The first one didn't work as I wish.

So everything works now?

No. set q to "foo" don't work. Strictly speaking, the query which Post Notification receive is empty.

Does your code read like this?:

on alfred_script(q)
  set q to "query"
  return q
end alfred_script

In that case the notification panel appears and the variable query in Post Notification is empty.

But I don't know the script is working correctly because coding error doesn't prevent appearing a notification panel.

Let me know if it works!

Run Script worked but Run NSAppleScript didn't.

I'm running the test workflow and I get the same issue.

 

NSApplescript doesn't seem to send anything to the Notification.

NSApplescript doesn't seem to send anything to the Notification.

 

For the NSAppleScript, the code should be the following...

on alfred_script(q)
  set temp to "sample"
  return temp
end alfred_script

Worked - thanks David!
