SSH with smart hostname autocompletion

user.workflow.3ACC632C-5489-45C1-92AA-6FC07DC4B472 yossarian$ python -c 'import alfredssh; print alfredssh.complete("local");'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "alfredssh.py", line 137, in complete
    fetch_known_hosts('~/.ssh/known_hosts'),
  File "alfredssh.py", line 83, in fetch_known_hosts
    results.update(line.split()[0].split(','))
IndexError: list index out of range

^^ First command - fwiw, my python version when running that command is 2.7.8. The /usr/bin version is 2.7.5 and gives me the same output.

 

OK. It looks like your ~/.ssh/known_hosts contains a line that the workflow couldn't handle: most likely a blank line (with which I reproduced the error). I've updated it to handle blanks at GitHub and Packal: download

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Bonus fix: it also now ignores encrypted entries in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

That did it, thanks!

iTerm2 and zsh user, worked out of the box. Thanks much!

Same here.

 

I love this workflow so much. Use it all the time, and it's soooo good.

Any chance of being able to configure this workflow to open in a new tab instead of a new window? Would work better with TotalTerminal: http://totalterminal.binaryage.com/

Unfortunately, this is in the hands of the ssh protocol handler (i.e. Terminal.app or iTerm.app). Easy to do in iTerm2, I don't have guidance for open-in-tab with Terminal.app.

Ok, if anyone else is curious, I opened a question at StackExchange:

 

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/144258/change-default-ssh-behavior

 

We'll see if that bears any fruit.

Are you aware of iTerm2's Hotkey Window? It provides arguably more powerful functionality to that of TotalTerminal, and iTerm2's default behaviour as ssh protocol handler is "Open in a New Tab". Performance improvements over the past year combined with the addition of Infinite Scrollback leave me little reason to fallback to Terminal.app or hacking SIMBL plugins :-)

Like the SE thread says, your best bet is to create a "wrapper" application in Automator and fiddle with its Info.plist to make the app an ssh:// handler. Then you can use AppleScript in the app to tell whichever terminal app you like to open ssh:// URLs the way you want.

This is quite a useful pattern, and I've done something similar with Sublime Text, creating a wrapper app to open .sublime-project files with the subl CLI app.

This is shockingly sweet. Thank you so much, Isometry!

Very great workflow, that I use every day.

But recently I updated to Alfred 3 and this workflow stop working.

Is there any easy fix for it?

[deanishe 992]

It works fine in Alfred 3 for me. Try reinstalling the workflow, perhaps?

[kecinzer 0]

I just completly reinstalled Alfred 3 with cleaned settings.

Still same behaviour. I have same problem with Evernote workflow. I think this will be Alfred 3 related.

[isometry 22]

I've upgraded to Alfred 3 myself now, but haven't encountered the issue reported by @kecinzer. However, I'm tracking the issue here: https://github.com/isometry/alfredworkflows/issues/6

Same problem here, solved by following these instructions:

Perfect. Thanks, @okapi!

I was thinking I'd like to update to using the Alfred 2.4+ environment variables, but your tracking use of static paths down to a real issue gave me the impetus to actually do so.

The workflow has now been updated with enhanced Alfred 3 compatibility and is available on GitHub, here and on Packal.

Thanks to you, awesome work!

That's what iTerm does when the connection fails. Are you sure the machine is responsive and the connection details are correct?
