Homebrew and Cask for Alfred

[deanishe]

@TheDonk, have you tried this?

[TheDonk]

No I hadn't, but it seems to fix the problem. Just installed a random app with cask and it worked just fine.

 

Thanks @deanishe

99% sure the worklow's completely fixed for you. macOS 10.12.4 completely broke a library this workflow uses.

This works brilliantly and saves a lot of time. Thanks.

Excited about this workflow! However, after installing the first time I typed Brew I got the following message (see attached) "Alfred 4 needs to be updated". Upon hitting the "Learn more..." it took me to: https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

 

Not sure if there's a build-in python in Alfred or I should just replace the "python" in the workflow with "python2" or "python3", but I'm not sure if this will have any consequences...?

Changing it to python2 will make no difference: on a normal system, it’s the same program as python. Changing python to python3 will break a lot of workflows because Python 3 isn’t very compatible with Python 2.

 

The only real, long-term fix is to rewrite the workflows to work with Python 3.
