Could you post how you solved it? Then whoever comes across the same problem can see a solution here.

I don't think they "solved" it so much as figured out what's happening.

Background processes aren't connected to STDOUT/STDERR (otherwise Alfred would wait for them), so their log output doesn't appear in Alfred's debugger. It's only written to the log file.

Ok, so that took me a while to figure out so I'll post how I did it:

As @deanishe says, background processes aren't connected to STDOUT/STDERR. So you can cd into your workflow directory and find your log file (also with Workflow.logfile). once in there just follow your file with tail +1f com.Your.Workflow.Name.log, that will give you a continuos output on all log written to file.

I could also log here the args that where getting passed to the background process and how. Which was my original issue.

Amazing work btw. 👍

If your workflow is set up to use magic arguments (i.e. there's a Script Filter that uses Workflow.args), you can open the log file directly by entering the search query workflow:openlog.
