Workflows related to Calendar don't work

[xiajunwen1007]

I have some events in my Calendar, but the workflow cannot show them and I cannot add new event to Calendar. There are some screenshots.

The workflow's behavior work like I have no such calendar called "alfred", but actually, I do have that.

There's a couple of things you can try here to work out what's wrong

1. Debug in Alfred

If you open Alfred, select the workflow, then click the "debug" icon in the top right you'll get logs for the workflow.
Try and run the "Upcoming" option and then see if any errors come up there.

2. Run it manually

If you open the directory the workflow is stored in terminal you can try to run it manually with .agendas events and see if you see an error there or get a permissions error.

The "Upcoming" option works quite well and no error occurs. I tried the "Add new event" option, and here is the output.

I tried to run .agend from command line, and here is the error message

}

It seems there is a permission error. I checked wether .agend have the permission to Calendar, and the answer is no.

My OS version is 11.5.1, and there is no apparent way to add the permission.

I tried .agend again, then there is no error message. I give all of the permissions the .agend required at the first launch. So the error vanishes I guess.

I just released v1.0.1 thanks to @yonbergman who found the issue. New version is here https://github.com/rknightuk/alfred-workflows/tree/main/workflows/agenda
