https://github.com/fniephaus/alfred-pocket/releases/tag/v7.3   Looks like there was an update a couple days ago.

BTW, anyone who hasn't see the bookmark in the demo gif "The Beach Boys Shred I Get Around" really needs to see it

Hey Katie,

thanks for the bug report.

And no, the application doesn't need to be installed.

 

Would you be so kind and open up the workflow's debug window (click on the little bug icon) in order to get more details about the problem?

It'd be great if you could send me the error log.

 

Thanks,

Fabio

 

*EDIT*: I've just updated the workflow. Could you try out the new version? Thanks!

Great stuff. Just one comment — it would seem the default action is to visit the link and archive it in Pocket and you have to hold "Ctrl" to visit without archiving. Personally, I'd prefer it if this was the other way round and it didn't archive by default.

 

I realise I can probably just tweak the workflow to change this around, but thought I'd let you know anyway.

 

Oh, and one more little thing — it would be good to get a notification when archiving links.

 

But well done. I'll find this really handy, I think.

That is something I still need to figure out.

The links should be ordered by date but Alfred seems to mix them up, even though I haven't set a uid.

 

*EDIT*: okay, it wasn't Alfred but the API wrapper. Should be fixed now!

Fabio-- I'm getting this error after installing your workflow and the first attempt at running. The debug info from Alfred is below. I just edited out my username. I have a valid Pocket account and can login to it with no problem in Safari. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Hey Weaselboy, thanks for the debug info. That helped a lot!

I've updated the workflow and improved the authentication process.

 

Could you give it another try? And could you open your keychain and check if there is an entry 'com.fniephaus.pocket'.

 

Thanks!

That fixed it!   :)

 

I deleted the Keychain entry and installed the updated workflow and it works perfectly. Nice work on this and thanks.

I deleted the keychain access item, revoked Pocket access, an re-installed the workflow. Now it seems that Pocket is having trouble re-authenticating. The authorization page comes up but when it's clicked, it leads to a blank page and doesn't do anything/doesn't authorize the workflow. 

 

Here's the bug text that came up:

Starting debug for 'Pocket for Alfred'

Hey Katie,

my Pocket app is "waiting for App Directory approval" which is probably why you get to see a blank page.

Nevertheless, the workflow should authenticate itself right after you have visited the authentication link.

 

Can you try again, please? The debug log looks just fine!

I'm sorry! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the next error I get:

That's weird. There seems to be something wrong with Pocket's response.

 

I've prepared another workflow version that is more verbose:

https://github.com/fniephaus/alfred-pocket/raw/debug/Pocket-for-Alfred.alfredworkflow

 

Can you use this to generate another debug log?

This time there should be a lot more to copy.

And feel free to replace things you don't want anyone else to see with whatever you like ;)

 

Thanks!

Haha, that's okay. I don't mind posting some random information about items in my Pocket  :)

Thanks, katie.

Unfortunately, everything looks fine to me.

I assume this was not everything that was printed in the debug window?

The first three items contain a resolved_title and I guess, so does the forth one.

Can you PM me the full debug log?

 

At least we can rule out that there is an authentication issue!

 

Nevertheless, I've updated the workflow, so it should work now even if no 'resolved_title' is present.

Please do the debug log once more with the old workflow but you might give the new workflow a go once you have everything I need ;)

 

*EDIT*: I was able to figure out why it didn't work for katie. The latest version should work just fine!

I have a tweak request Fabio.

 

I often use your extension with Pocket to copy a URL for later posting in news forums. I have figured out I can copy by hitting command-c, but for some reason that appends a string of numbers after the link.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 137984712

Here is an example of an Apple support link and note the 137984712 appended when I copy the link. This happens with every URL I try.

 

Is there a KB combo I am  missing to copy a link maybe?

When pressing command-c you are copying the item's argument which is passed to the pocket_launcher.py.

The weird number is the item's ID.

 

I'm not sure what you are asking? I just bring up the workflow then in this example type L O C which highlights the URL I want... then command-c to copy the link. That gets me the link with the numbers appended in the clipboard.

 

(Sorry if I am being dense)
