Command does not work often (JSON error)

[josefglatz]

Hey, I'm using the workflow a long time.

Since High Sierra (I don't konw if that could be the reason) the command does often simple not work.

See the debug info:

Starting debug for 'Translate API'

@shawnrice Do you have an idea what can be broken? I couldn't find the reason

Update

After a restart of Alfred v3 the workflow works again

[shawnrice]

I'm glad restarting Alfred fixed it. But that's also strange that it fixed it.

Sorry that I hadn't gotten to debug. But I was out of town with no real internet connection for the last week.

Going to close the issue. Please re-open if it pops back up.

Sorry @shawnrice ... My english is not so great..

The problem occurs after some time using Alfred. It's jsut a workaround actually to get it working when I need the workflow :)

[josefglatz]

It would be cool if you can reopen the issue. I also add a link in the alfredforum: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11728-clipboard-pasting-isnt-working-after-a-time/?do=findComment&comment=61507

It's the first time, that a workflow doesn't work after N minutes/hours anymore and then it's working after a restart of all Alfred processes

[shawnrice]

Re-opened.

I'll try to get some some time to debug this after work and see what's going on.

Do you have any way to recreate this error reliably, or is it something that just happens after using it after some time?

[josefglatz]

Actually, the problem is here again. It never appeared since my previous comment. (actual macOS and actual latest stable Alfred)
