[stranger1]

Also, i get another error when i try to run dependency manager.

Open a terminal and run xcode-select --install. A dialog will walk you through the rest, it’s literally two clicks and a wait.

 

Then try the other command again.

Hey@giovanniI see you're using this fork of the Alfred-Workflow library in the workflows you ported to Python 3. There's an issue in this fork regarding the default_settings parameter of the Workflow class which doesn’t seem to work. You get a KeyError by running this code:

from workflow import Workflow

wf = Workflow(default_settings={"arg1": "value1"})
print(wf.settings["arg1"])

 

Have you ever faced this issue or have any idea on how to fix it? I have my own fork of deanishe's library which is being used by some people and I'm interested to fix this issue.

So I downloaded the Updated Version of "Word Search" and it still does not work. Can you help me?

@vitordo you have Python 2 installed? If so, could you check if this code works with deanishe's library?

Nope. And I’m not intimately familiar with the inner workings of setting up the library.

Hi. I'm trying to use the Suffix Web Search workflow (https://www.deanishe.net/post/2019/05/workflow-suffix-web-search/) created by @deanishe (

 

I installed Python 2 via Homebrew and then updated the file

/Users/xyzen/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.D8443119-4F0D-430B-9418-D5CED411E758/websearch.py

by changing

#!/usr/bin/python

to

#!/opt/homebrew/bin/python

 

Now when running the workflow, the pre-existing custom searches work. But when I try to add a new custom search, I get the following error:

___init___() takes at least 7 arguments (6 given)

 

The Alfred workflow debugger outputs:

[12:53:13.722] Suffix Web Search[Script Filter] Queuing argument 't'
[12:53:13.859] Suffix Web Search[Script Filter] Script with argv 't' finished

      }, 
      "title": "__init__() takes at least 7 arguments (6 given)", 
      "valid": false
    }
  ]
}

 

Also, the default searches included with Alfred are not listed when invoking the workflow for some reason. I do have them enabled in Alfred preferences. I could easily get around this by creating my own custom searches in place of the default entries, if only I could resolve the aforementioned init error.

 

I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) and Alfred 5.5 [2257]. I appreciate any help with this.
