Search OmniFocus not working in Alfred 5

[timstringer]

I was using Search OmniFocus in Alfred 4 without any issues, but it stopped working when I upgraded to Alfred 5. Specifically, when I perform a search, it shows the default search engines (e.g. Google) instead of results from the OmniFocus database.

Thanks for looking into this! Hopefully, it will be an easy fix.

Hi Tim - working for me in Alfred 5. No changes made by me after upgrading but I did use the workaround described in this issue. Have you done that? Alternatively, switch to the new version of this workflow.

Hope this helps.

Works for me on Alfred 5. Picked up the workflow version yesterday, so it’s still fresh! :-)

Thanks for your comments! It looks like Python being removed from macOS is the issue, not the upgrade to Alfred 5.

I may install the new JavaScript version of the workflow…though I'm hesitant as it requires that I install Node.js. Is there any way to create a workflow that doesn't require any additional software to be installed? Thanks again!

I'm having the same problem. This is the bug report I'm getting in Alfred 5:

ERROR: Search OmniFocus[Script Filter] Code 127: /bin/bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory

Followed these clear instructions for the new JavaScript version, and it works like a charm:

Hi Tim - unfortunately not. You'll either need to re-install a version of Python that macOS removed or install node.js. Latter is easiest to do IMO. Cheers

I’m quite happy being on Mojave with Alfred 5, everything is fine. So this is Apple making ev-th VERY secure on the computer?! /okn

Thanks for your comment @rhydlewis. I'll most likely go with node.js.

For me, the old workflow also didn't work anymore with Alfred 5 and macOS 12.4. Thanks to this issue, I found out there is a newer JS version. @rhydlewis I think it would be a good idea to add a note to this project's README mentioning the new JS version.

@nicolashohm good shout - added a note, thanks
