Hi, I installed the v1.0.1 alfred workflow and it didn't work. Upon checking the debug log in Alfred, I found this:

[17:24:41.389] ERROR: massCode assistant[[Script Filter](alfredpreferences:workflows%3Eworkflow%3Euser.workflow.24F03A81-51F1-4536-9238-725411581965%3E177039CF-0717-4E00-9FE3-69F90DD802A6)] Code 1: node:internal/errors:465

}

I am not quite familiar with js, and I am new to Alfred, I am not sure if I messed anything up.

I found a way to fix this.

// cd to the directory of the workflow
cd /Users/x/Preferences/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.24F03A81-51F1-4536-9238-725411581965/
npm install

However the problem is within the .alfredworkflow, hope you can fix it soon.

This also fixed the issue for me. M1 Macbook Pro with Alfred v 5.0.1

hm, npm install in the directory did not fix it for me. Any additional steps I'm missing?

Not sure if this is related, my node version is v16.15.1.

Good hint @LeslieLeung, upgraded mine to v18.8.0 and your workaround resolves the issue.

Thank you, this solved the problem for me. The path I found here.

Thank you, it also worked for me.

Before running npm install, please make sure to back up the original ~/node_modules/alfy folder.

If you see the following error message in the Alfred debug mode after npm install, restore the folder to fix it!
