Why are you removing the test? We still want to test .error().

Oh sorry, I missed this notification. I forgot why I removed this test. Let me check it.

[LitoMore]

Now I'm facing another bug. It seems Script Filter has the length limitation.

For example:

alfy.output([{
	title: 'e'.repeat(1000),
	subtitle: 'Press ⌘L to see the full error and ⌘C to copy it.',
	valid: false,
	text: {
		copy: 'copy',
		largetype: 'stack'
	},
	icon: {
		path: exports.icon.error
	}
}]);

It will throw a JSON error like this:

[14:23:21.845] ERROR: alfred[Script Filter] JSON error: Unterminated string around character 30. in JSON:
{
	"items": [
		{
			"title": "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

We put too much letters to title, copy and largetype, they need to be simplified.

Should I do the simplify work in this pull request?

[sindresorhus]

Sure, what's the max length?

[LitoMore]

@sindresorhus The max length is 65532 (Alfred 4.0.6 [1124]).

[sindresorhus]

Truncate the title at 50000 then. Nobody will realistically have such long errors anyway.

[LitoMore]

Not only the title, copy and largetype also need to be truncated. 65532 is the max length of the whole JSON string.

[LitoMore]

Alfred will simplify the title like this below:

I think we could truncate the title at 100, truncate the copy and largetype at 20000 or smaller.

[sindresorhus]

65532 - 50000 = 15532, which is more than enough for the rest of the JSON, which is static.

[sindresorhus]

Ok, I now realize we're talking about different things. I was talking about the error specifically. You're talking about it generally.

title at 100 makes sense. largetype doesn't need that much. Let's cap it at 1000. The rest can be for the copy, which is the only thing that really needs to be long. We also need to documents these limits and why they are in place.
