Cannot log in about alfred-github-workflow

That's strange. Please do the following:

1. Open Alfred Preferences, Workflows
2. Right Click on "GitHub commands", "Show in Finder"
3. Open this directory in Terminal
4. php search.php "> login jcamenisch"

What is the result?

[gharlan]

Oh, GitHub has changed the command bar, so my workflow does not work any more. I have to look deeper into the changes…

[gharlan]

Please update the workflow and check if it works for you now…

[jcamenisch]

Here we go:

> php search.php "> login jcamenisch"
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function curl_init() in /Users/jcamenisch/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.C98486E8-9D64-4CB1-810B-3C36711A54E5/workflow.php on line 74

This should be enough direction to fix it, I would think (with a little help from the Interwebz).

[gharlan]

The workflow requires the PHP Curl Extension, which is installed per default on OSX.

[jcamenisch]

For any phpbrew users who might stumble in here: enable curl by appending -- --with-curl=/usr/include/curl to your phpinstall command. E.g.

> phpbrew install php-5.4.10 +default +pcntl +mysql -- --with-curl=/usr/include/curl

[jcamenisch]

The weird thing is, after installing php_curl, I still have the original symptom in Alfred. I've deleted the workflow and reinstalled it again. in the terminal, I get:

> php search.php "> login jcamenisch"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items><item uid="6867977c2f22806b59ce1a296e0d88ee" arg="&gt; login jcamenisch" autocomplete=" &gt; login jcamenisch"><icon>icon.png</icon><title>gh &gt; login jcamenisch</title><subtitle>Log in to GitHub</subtitle></item></items>

But in Alfred, it still hangs on "Loading results..." Pressing Enter has no effect.

[gharlan]

Maybe Alfred uses a different php installation as the terminal. I suppose that Alfred always uses /usr/bin/php, so please try this in terminal:

/usr/bin/php search.php "> login jcamenisch"

[jcamenisch]

Doh! I should have thought of that. I was trying to figure out what my custom php was still lacking. Just needed:

sudo ln -s `which php` /usr/bin/php
