No results returned for custom perspectives with .v or .lv
I've been having this issue for a while: no results returned for custom perspectives with .v or .lv. The only result returned are for default perspectives. Just did a fresh re-install of the workflow, and ran the "use-of-3" because I am on OmniFocus 3.2.1 (v122.6 r325053). I can't see what the problem is.
Can you:
- open Script Editor.app
- press ⌘-N to create a new script
- paste the attached AppleScript into the window
- press ⌘-R to run the script
- paste the text from the Result pane in a comment to this issue
please?
Cheers, Rhyd
Hi Rhyd,
Here you go.
Looks like I have some housekeeping to do!
I believe that the “missing value” items are the default perspectives.
If the problem’s on my end, it would be great if you could let me know what I need to do!

Can you try this? Rename any perspectives containing the "–" character e.g. "–––––––––––––––––––––" or "Copy of –––––––––––––––––––––" so that they don't contain that character. This should solve the problem.
Did that, but it’s still not working, even after a restart. Here’s the current output.
I also went through and made sure all the perspectives are updated to OF3 (they were still a bit mixed).
And I did a system restart.
Could it be the “+”? Or the “&”. Before I start removing all punctuation, I thought I’d check.
Best,
Joel

Punctuation shouldn't be a problem (I added a perspective called "TCHa & SPV" and it works for me). Plan B: can you open Alfred's Preferences and send me the debug log?
- Show Alfred preferences (keyword 'alf')
- Click 'Workflows' in the tool bar
- Choose 'Search Omnifocus' from the list of workflows on the left
- Click on the 'Debug' to toggle debugging mode (see Alfred's help page for more info)
- Choose 'All information' from the Log dropdown
- Open Alfred and type
.lv - Copy the debug output and post it as a response
Cheers
Dear Rhyd,
I really appreciate you working with me on this! Here’s the debugger output, as well as a screenshot from the behavior I see.

Aargh! This line shows no perspectives returned from the AppleScript call:
23:05:20 omnifocus.py:28 DEBUG >>> ['']
Back to the drawing board. I'll have another think...
Hi Joel,
If you install and run this workflow:
List Omnifocus Perspectives.alfredworkflow.zip
(which should get your list of perspectives and display them as a comma separated list), do you see output like this:
Reason I'm asking: I'm trying to work out if there's a permission issue that prevents the workflow from getting access to your perspectives.
Cheers, Rhyd
Doesn’t seem to be working. No text popped up. Here’s the bug report.
I sure hope this isn’t something quirky on my machine that is throughing things off.
I’ve tried this new workflow on my laptop (also running Mojave), and it first requested permissions for Alfred to access OmniFocus 3, and then it delivered the popup with the comma-separated text. Still, the laptop has the same problem of giving me an error message when I search for perspectives, with .v.
But popup just doesn't happen on my main machine, a 5K iMac.

I'm stumped - sorry. It feels like a permission issue (i.e. the workflow isn't allowed to run the AppleScript to get the names of the perspectives) or the workflow doesn't cope well with unicode text in the perspective text. Since you're seeing different results on your iMac compared to your laptop is also muddying the water a little.
I'll have another think but not sure I'll be able to resolve this anytime soon.
I really appreciate your efforts. I have workarounds, and if I’m the only one you hear from, then let’s just hope it all disappears at some point.
