README.md

Resolve "Error: Command failed: alfred-link"

Specs

  • Alfred 4 with Powerpack
  • macOS 10.15.6
  • node 12.16.0
  • custom preferences folder (e.g. ~/Dropbox)

Expectation

When executing the following command with node 12+ and Alfred 4, I expect it to work and install the workflow.

npm install --global alfred-goodreads-workflow

Problem

But I got the following error when installing an Alfred workflow with node/npm.

Error: Command failed: alfred-link
Error: Alfred preferences not found at location /Users/someone/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences-3.plist

Solution

ln -s ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences-3.plist
