workflow

When run with multiple displays this is the output:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position 31
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at Osx.screen (/Users/rolf/.workflow/node_modules/workflow-wm-osx/dist/index.js:46:36)
    at screen (/Users/rolf/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.2/lib/node_modules/workflow/node_modules/workflow-core/dist/index.js:85:13)

I also ran the same command that the package runs in exec:

$ system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution | awk '{ printf "{\\"width\\": %s, \\"height\\": %s}", $2, $4 }'
awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
	{ printf >>>  "{\\"width\ <<< \": %s, \\"height\\": %s}", $2, $4 }
awk: illegal statement at source line 1
	extra }

The solution to #100 might affect this issue.

Support for multiple monitors are planned for workflow. This support will likely make the flow files able to specify which monitors the different applications should be placed on.

Until this support is added, I propose we try to solve this bug in the following way: Open the flow on the "active" monitor. Where the active monitor is the monitor with the active application which workflow is executed from.

Yeah, let's see what come of #100 since the current source of info don't give the information of the active screen. However, it says which screen is the main display.

      Displays:
        Color LCD:
          Display Type: Built-In Retina LCD
          Resolution: 2880 x 1800 Retina
          Framebuffer Depth: 24-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
          Mirror: Off
          Online: Yes
          Rotation: Supported
          Automatically Adjust Brightness: No
        Thunderbolt Display:
          Display Type: LCD
          Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (QHD/WQHD - Wide Quad High Definition)
          UI Looks like: 2560 x 1440
          Framebuffer Depth: 24-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
          Display Serial Number: C02ND5EQF2GC
          Main Display: Yes
          Mirror: Off
          Online: Yes
          Rotation: Supported
          Automatically Adjust Brightness: No
          Connection Type: DisplayPort

That could be a start in the mean time. So that it's not broken at least.
