Google search overrides text output

Open methodik opened this issue 3 years ago • 14 comments

As a user when I type "Lorem Paragraph 3" I expect the workflow to paste text into a text box.

However instead Alfred takes me to a Google search

The tool uses PHP (as listed in the requirements)

Please confirm that you have a version of php installed by running "php -v" in a terminal window.

MacOS 12 no longer ships with php included, in which case you'd need to install it.

(If this resolves your issue, please let us know)

I'm also having this issue. MacOS 12.3.1, php 8.1.6 installed via brew.

Dear @jesseday Could you please confirm the output you get when you type "which php" into a terminal window, and also if it actually returns version 8.1.6 if you type "php -v" into a terminal window. (MacOS 12.3.1 and php 8.1.6 are fully supported so it's likely an issue locating the php executable) Thanks Roy

Sure thing. See below. path to php is /usr/local/bin/php

Mmm, that should actually work just fine ... Can you confirm you're running that latest version of the Alfred Workflow, i.e. v0.2.2 - If not, you can download the latest version here

Dear @methodik

Are you still having this issue after installing PHP and the latest version of the workflow?

rverrips avatar May 18 '22 15:05 rverrips

I was getting the same issue. PHP installed via Brew. What I thought was the latest version of the workflow that i downloaded from https://www.packal.org/workflow/lorem-ipsum-0 was in fact an old version.

v0.2.0

packal.org is dead I think.

tillkruss avatar Jul 25 '22 14:07 tillkruss

Good to know! Is there a replacement or do we go looking on GitHub for shared workflows?

ilium007 avatar Jul 26 '22 11:07 ilium007

I'd like the answer to that question as well.

tillkruss avatar Jul 26 '22 14:07 tillkruss

I also had this issue.

Till, I think it would be reasonable to add info about php requirement to the workflow readme file.
