Arguments to external script

[jeffsui]

I'm a little confused as to how an external script is supposed to get its arguments 

 

 

My script looks like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import urllib2,json,os,sys
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET


query = sys.argv[1]

And i'm getting no arguments.

 

When i run the same code as an internal python script i have ZERO issues.  Is there something i'm missing on how you are supposed to pass arguments into an external script?

How are you calling the external script?

I have the same ”problem” but with a bash script.
I’m calling it this way: http://cl.ly/20190P0A2B3p

You guys are probably going to have to upload the actual workflow, not screenshots and code.
 
The most likely reason an external script would fail is because you haven't set its executable bit: chmod +x script.sh

Ok so here is my script:

 

I tried without the 

 #!/usr/local/bin/python

But i get "the script may not exist or doesn't have execute permission error - even though it has permission 777

 

 

 

And when I try to run `pb1 test`

 

 

 

I'm just having ZERO luck getting my arguments to pass in.

That should work. Looks like it may be a bug in Alfred.

 

 

Ok so here is my script:

 

 

Those are screenshots of your script. Post the workflow.

The workflow is posted here (or rather a similar one).

py1 will call the internal script

py2 wil link to /tmp/pyTest.sh (so you might need to move the script to the temp dir)

 

In theory the subtitle of the result will show the query string

Yep, this is totally a bug in Alfred - sorry!

 

I'm not quite ready to do a 3.0.3 pre-release, but here is an early 3.0.3 build which will fix the issue (should be stable for day to day use):
