kleerkoat Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Came across this in another workflow, but here is an example. Using the Audio Output workflow. http://www.packal.org/workflow/audio-switch as soon as I enter the trigger "output" you normally get a list of devices to choose from. however it jumps right into a google search. any help appreciated.

dfay Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) This generally means there's a bug or some other issue that's stopping the workflow from being able to run, so it falls back on a default search. Which means you should probably search for the workflow pages in the forum or contact the authors. Edited July 16, 2016 by dfay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleerkoat Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 sounds good. this isn't the only workflow that i've seen this happen in though. it's like Alfred isn't respecting the space after the trigger word though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfay Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) this is the expected behavior -- as soon as you type a keyword that matches an existing script filter workflow (like the audio output one you mention, which incidentally is working fine for me with Alfred 3), the script executes -- the problem is that the script(s) fail for some reason. Alfred is working as expected, but the workflow is crashing, so Alfred is reverting to default output. another thing that can happen is that some script filter-based workflows can take a couple of seconds to execute, so you'll get the default search and then the correct results will eventually appear. If you open the debugger - https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/advanced/debugger/then run one of the workflows that is turning over to google search, you'll probably see some error messages.

kleerkoat Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks for the replies and your patience. I reinstalled Audio Switch and it is working correctly. Here is another one with the same behavior, I tried resinstalling which didn't help. sorry for the size, haven't figured out how to scale in LiceCap. ;-) also sorry for beating a dead horse.

dfay Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 well it looks like it's getting an Applescript error but beyond that you should contact the developer of the script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
