samverschueren / alfred-updater Goto Github PK

Just like in alfred-notifier, we have to restart Alfred with the commandopen -n -a "Alfred 3" so it reloads the workflows and removes the notification message.

Do you guys hit the same issue when alfred-updater runs?
On my mac, it creates a second instance (and a third etc every time it runs).
I'm on macOS Mojave 10.14.3 with node 11.10.1 and alfred latest version 3.8.1.
The bug was there for quite some time but I just discovered alfred-updater is responsible.
Is there something to configure?
Thx.

I guess it would be nice if the notification showed what workflows got updated. Sometimes you see that it updated one or two, but then you want to know which ones it did update so you could check them out for new features or something. We should test if all that information could be showed in the notification.

It doesn't seem to work with Alfred 5 🤔

From testing it looks like the quit && restart part doesn't work.
If I try the same command in terminal pkill Alfred && open -n -a 'Alfred 5' I get the same behaviour, but if I do those commands separately it does work.

Hi,

thanks for the update and closing #5. I updated alfred-updater and still get error.

Output:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/alfred-github/package.json'

Is it something wrong with alftred-github workflow or with updater?
