Not Working - Bug Report Included about alfred-readwise HOT 26 CLOSED

I see, do you have any tags in your database? If not, can you try adding one?

from alfred-readwise.

I do have a few tags in readwise.

I've added another tag in readwise just in case and then did a refresh (readwise:refresh). !r still didn't work, so I refreshed again with debugger enabled. Here are the top-level entries from the debugger if this helps at all. Looks like it's rebuilding the database.

from alfred-readwise.

for some reason it is not creating the tags table, even though you have tags. Are the tags all single words with no special characters etc? I see you have an apostrophe in your path, but you don't have problems with any other workflows, right?

If you are willing to share privately your token, I am happy to try and troubleshoot for you, or the other option is that I make a verbose version of the workflow that documents each step and we can try to figure out what's wrong.

Thanks for your help with troubleshooting this!

from alfred-readwise.

I would prefer the verbose version. But that said, as this is a new workflow I'm fine if you'd like to hear from other users before going to too much trouble to resolve my situation. Whatever you decide is fine.

from alfred-readwise.

could you try this version, run readwise:refresh and send me the debugger output? This version will document every step while creating the tags table.

from alfred-readwise.

I deleted the original workflow, intalled the new version, and ran readwise:refresh command. Here is the debugger output which has an error at the end.

oh, this seems related to the API call itself, not the database. How did you install python? this issue has been observed with Alfred before:

I uninstalled Python and then reinstalled Python 3 using homebrew. Not sure why this failed, but here is the debugger output when refreshing the database:

from alfred-readwise.

have you tried to add the certificates as recommended in the links I shared?

from alfred-readwise.

I deleted python (installed with homebrew) and then reinstalled python 3.11 from the python site and ran this script to install the certificates: sudo "./Install Certificates.command". I have a permissions limitation (see below) affecting the install that I need to sort out and try again. I'm signed in as the admin but still can't change permissions to the Users folder. I'll work through that. FYI - Here is the output from Terminal running this command:

USER@Philips-MacBook-Pro Python 3.11 % sudo "./Install Certificates.command"

from alfred-readwise.

my understanding is that if you install python through macOS (which I think is the same as the python site) you don't need to install the certificates (I never did). have you tried the workflow with the new python 3.11?

I tried to refresh and here is the debugger output:

from alfred-readwise.

are you able to access the folder /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-readwise? Did the workflow write anything in there? There should be a readwise.db database and a folder named images containing the book covers thumbnails. Do you see one named 26036368.jpg? I can't tell if it fails because it is the first one it tries, or because there is something wrong about this particular cover.

from alfred-readwise.

Yes it id write something there: a folder title "image" that is empty and a readwise.db file that is 606 KB.

from alfred-readwise.

ha, I guess there is an issue with downloading at least one of the the book covers then. Can you try this version which uses a generic icon instead of the covers? if this works I can have a version with a workaround in case a particular cover is not available.

from alfred-readwise.

Yes, that version with the generic book icon worked. The refresh was successful and I'm able to search my readwise content.

from alfred-readwise.

great to hear! May I ask you to try this one last? It should handle the exception and download a book cover if available.

from alfred-readwise.

Sorry to have taken so long to give this new version a try as I was out of town. I installed it, refreshed the database and the first three entries listed when I used the !r command had a cover (from an article) but all the rest had the generic icon. Here is the debug output, with some lines removed in the middle to save space.

Ah, I forgot to ask you to first remove all the files in the images folder! To make it faster, the script will download the cover only if the file is not there, and you already have the generic icon for all the books. Could you try that? Also, please send the debugger output of readwise:refresh!

from alfred-readwise.

I've searched and have 4 folders on my Mac called images but none of them seem to be associated with this workflow. Can you tell me where to look in the file structure?

from alfred-readwise.

sorry, I should have clarified, it is the one you checked earlier: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/alfred-readwise/images/

from alfred-readwise.

Thanks, I found the folder and cleared it of all files and then refreshed the database. It generally worked. It appears that all book highlights had a cover associated in the list. Some articles did as well, but some articles that had a "cover" in readwise still had a generic cover icon in the listing. I only have books and articles in readwise and one podcast. That podcast did have the correct cover. I read all my books on a kindle but articles I may highlight on a webpage and clip to readwise with a chrome extension and others I'll read and highlight in Readwise Reader. which automatically syncs to readwise When I have time, I'll see if I can determine if there is a common reading source for those articles that have the generic icon. In the mean time, here is the full output from the debugger for the !r command if that is of any help. I suspect you may need to see the files in the images folder to see if the covers were fetched in the first place from readwise.

I did a quick sampling of those articles that did and did not have the correct icon, but have seen no correlation. Some articles read in readwise Reader from medium.com have the correct cover and others have the generic icon. Also, all highlights from the same article have the same icon either the cover or the generic icon. So nothing obvious as to why they differ.

great to hear! based on your previous logs, it seems that access is denied to some of the covers. If you want to investigate further, I am happy to send instructions on how to open the database and check the URLs, or if you want to send me the database I can do that for you. Thanks for your help with troubleshooting this! Because I did not have errors, I would have not found the bug without your report.
