Error when using "idea" in alfred

[tjosinga]

Q	A
Workflow version	1.0.9
OSX Version	10.14.4
Alfred Version	3.8.1
JetBrains Product/Version	IntelliJ / 2019.1
Installation type	JB Toolbox

Description

In the terminal, the command-line idea ./ works perfectly, but not when using Alfred. I get an "Unexpected token ..." error in Alfred, which I can copy:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bchatard/alfred-jetbrains/src/product.js:42
            ...product,
            ^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bchatard/alfred-jetbrains/src/index.js:7:38)

-
JetBrains - Open Project - v3 1.0.9
Alfred 3.8.1
darwin x64 18.5.0

In another issue you requested the content of the idea file. In my case it is:

$> cat $(which idea)

#!/bin/sh
# Generated by JetBrains Toolbox 1.14.5179 at Mon Apr 15 16:37:15 2019

open -a "/Users/taco/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/IDEA-U/ch-0/191.6183.87/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea" "$@"

Step to reproduce

Just by typing idea in Alfred.

Hi @tjosinga
which version of nodejs do you have?

[tjosinga]

Both v6.14.3 and v11.14.0 in NVM. I have set the latter as default, but maybe the problem is that Alfred is not using the correct version?

[tjosinga]

$> nvm use system
Now using system version of node: v11.12.0 (npm v6.7.0)

The system version seems to be 11.12.

[bchatard]

ok, I'm not familiar with NVM.
Can you try to add the following line in the "idea script filter": ./node_modules/.bin/run-node --version

Aaa, yes, Alfred uses v6.14.3.

So I tried installing a new version of node.js as system version (without nvm), using the instructions on: https://solarianprogrammer.com/2016/04/29/how-to-upgrade-nodejs-mac-os-x/
That didn't do the trick, yet (also restarted Alfred), though I saw some differences (maybe I was too quick).

Then I noted that there is a new version 1.0.10, so I removed 1.0.9 and installed 1.0.10, and it worked.

[tjosinga]

So in short, when using NVM one may think he is using a recent version of node.js (based on the output in shell), but in fact, it may be an old version.

[bchatard]

o_O I did not change stuff on this in 1.0.10...

I know that Alfred doesn't export your path, but a "lighter one" maybe it's related. I use Alfy under the hood, which handle this case (sindresorhus/alfy#73 (comment))

[bchatard]

Hi @tjosinga,

I add a validation of node version at the begin of the process. It will be more easier to debug.

Thanks for your help
