MacOS 12.3 can not use this plugin, how to resolve? about alfred-gitlab

[SaschaKrug]

What helped me as a temporary solution:

1. Follow the guide to install python2: www.alfredapp.com
2. Do python --version. Should be python 2.7
3. Get the new path via which python. In my case it was /usr/local/bin/python
4. Replace /usr/bin/python with the new path in the Alfred Workflow and inside the workflow folder. I needed to replace it inside of workflow/background.py and gitlab.py

Use the Alfred Workflow Debugger in the Preferences for assistance.

And yes, a new workflow would definitely be needed, but I don't have currently time to port it to python3. It looks like there are not even Alfred helpers for python3? That's weird ...

Fixed thanks to @TribuneX in 3.0.0 which you may need to manually install if you're already on 12.3.

/usr/bin/python was removed on macOS 12.3..

This leads to /bin/bash: python2: command not found when running the workflow with debug console open in alfred.

A possible workaround (definitely not the right solution, but works and good enough if you use it daily as I do) is to locate each occurrence of /usr/bin/python in the code and python in the and replace them with the path to an installation of python2.7 that you will manage by yourself.

It would definitely be preferable to update this workflow to python3 instead, but if you just want it to work, here are full steps. This assumes you have conda installed.

conda create -n alfred-gitlab python=2.7
conda activate alfred-gitlab
which python # this will give you the python path, mine gave me this:
# /Users/gableroux/miniconda/envs/alfred-gitlab/bin/python

Update these:

Example:

Open Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.D7406121-E5D3-438B-81D5-70FF7A9C58AC/ (path to the workflow files) and do a search and replace from /usr/bin/python to the new python path.

Here you go, shiny workflow again (manually altered, but good enough until this gets a proper fix).

I upgraded this workflow to be compatible with python3 (with some help of @meinjens):
https://github.com/TribuneX/alfred-gitlab

I upgraded to a python3 compatible alfred-workflow version and replaced the old web.py with mureq. I'll see if I will open a PR here to get these changes included in this workflow.

@TribuneX Awesome!

I've successfully used your fork to port alfred-gitea to Python3.
I was trying since a few days and struggling (as I am not a Python professional) but your forked got me going quickly.

🚀

Thank you @TribuneX for updating and to @lukewaite for merging it in so quickly! This whole last week for me was gl foo… 🤦🏻 😆

if your main use case is searching for repos, i wrote a workflow that can be used until this excellent workflow is updated to support py3: https://github.com/mjhuber/alfred-gitlab
