Missing thumbnails

[JesusTheHun]

The init process show Starting background process and then Complete. The img directory is empty.

Trying again didn't solve the issue. I deleted the workflow directory, installed again, didn't solve the issue (I had installed an outdated version at first so I thought it was worth a shot).

The files unicode.html and skin-tones.html are empty - zero byte.

Well Jesus the Hun...

Any chance you can post in the debug logs?

[JesusTheHun]

I did not include it because there is nothing valuable 😔

Yea... not so useful... the only question I guess I'd have is if you can run this from the command line directly? (if you know how to do that)

[JesusTheHun]

I'm not a python guy but I used IntelliJ to run the main of bg_downloader.py. There are undeclared dependencies like Workflow3. I installed it but it says it's compatibly with Alfred 3, not 4 & 5. Unfortunately it imports cPickle which is not available at the runtime and isn't available via pip either. At this point I gave up.

Also, pickle isn't available with python 3.9 because it's bundled (so I skipped it).

[jeeftor]

So cPickle existed only in Python2 and then it went away..

Are you using Py3 or Py2?

[jeeftor]

And are you running this build: https://github.com/jeeftor/EmojiTaco/releases/tag/v2.0.1

[JesusTheHun]

I used python3.9because version 2.0.2 says "python 3"

[jeeftor]

Open in a terminal then run this command:

~PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/src/libs python3 src/downloadDataFiles.py~

I mean this:

PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/src/libs python3 src/bg_downloader.py

[jeeftor]

If it works you'll see something like this...

[jeeftor]

The PYTHONPATH command tells it where to look for local libs

[JesusTheHun]

It downloads fine and then this happens :

[jeeftor]

Wow... that's so almost helpful... :( ... I'll have to look into the code and see what's going on but at least its downloading

So here is what its supposed to look like...

And your stuff is crashing somewhere in here:

[jeeftor]

Just for kicks can you try to re-init the emoji from Alfred?

Same issue as JesusTheHun

MacOS 12.3 Alfred 4.7 Python 3.10.4

[jeeftor]

Actually as I look at that last one I wonder if it’s an issue with the notify module….

Which I could prob wrap in an exception….

I’ll try to get a release out today to test

After I ran in the terminal like you asked, and tried to init again from Alfred, now it says no "No emoji found". So weird just got weirder.

[JesusTheHun]

I ran the bg_downloader.py script from Intellij, this time adding the libs to the PYTHONPATH. It failed because the working dir was src and therefore it did not find the img directory. So I changed the working dir and then it ran fine. Both use the same version, python 3.9.13.

I ran init again from Alfred, it failed as before. So it looks like it has nothing to do with your script per se, but indeed the notifier trying to create an icon for its notifications.

The convert_image function do not fail but it doesn't create the images either. I opened the iconset dir and the icons are not created, maybe that's why iconutil fails. I executed the same sips command directly in my terminal and it created the icon.

I removed the shell=True from src/libs/workflow/notify.py:231 and it works fine. It doesn't work when I try from Alfred though, so I'm not sure I understand what's going on.

[jeeftor]

That isn't my code so I'm not 100% sure what's going on with the notify stuff.... Thanks for working on this ... I'm busy this week but can pick it up next week hopefully.

[jeeftor]

For the time being here is my /img directory if you want icons for now. img.zip

Hey all, giving Alfred notification allowance on my Mac fixed the missing thumbnails for me.
