hv note doesn't append to existing note

[ericboehs]

hv note 1234567 → Testing 123
hv note 1234567 → Testing 456

My time entry shows:

Testing 456

when I'd prefer it'd be

Testing 123
Testing 456

This is how the hcl gem does it and is what I would expect.

Oops. Created issue prematurely. Updated.

@ericboehs notes should append. Just double checked, works as requested for me.

You working off the latest version? https://github.com/neilrenicker/alfred-harvest/releases

[ericboehs]

I am. I just installed it for the first time today. Checking the latest commit to master against my workflow's source matches up too.

Looking at post_note.php#L31 it just replaces the <notes> value with what is provided by Alfred (doesn't append to previous note). And according to the harvest docs "values are overwritten for the day entry with the data provided in your request".

I'd assume you need to include get_daily.php and then append the new note to the existing note (similar to how hcl does it).

[neilrenicker]

That's exactly what I'm doing here https://github.com/neilrenicker/alfred-harvest/blob/master/commands/note.php#L122. Does this happen consistently for you? If it happened only the first time, I'd suspect it to be a caching issue.

[ericboehs]

Ah! Hmm now it seems to be working. Even though I tried it several times before I posted this issue.

Well now I'd just suggest appending new lines between each note.

[ericboehs]

I got it! It's if you use Alfred's "Store typed query history" or use the up arrow to bring up previous commands (something I do frequently).

Interesting. I didn't know about that Alfred feature. I'll consider forcing new lines on notes. Thanks for the feedback.
