alfred-npms: Bash error: cannot set terminal process group. Inappropriate ioctl for device

I downloaded the workflow from http://www.packal.org/workflow/npms-0 and installed it, but I cannot get the search to work.

Typing npm <enter> shows the expected screen screen shot 2016-06-27 at 9 47 10 am

but any typing after that turns into a “normal” alfred search screen shot 2016-06-27 at 9 48 27 am

I went into the workflow debugger and noticed the following debug output with each keystroke

Starting debug for 'npms'

[2016-06-27 09:42:47][ERROR: input.scriptfilter] Code 127: bash: cannot set terminal process group (18927): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
/Users/jschulz/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-3/Workflow Scripts/BAA37249-3FCB-4A17-8851-29707885B376: line 9: node: command not found

node is installed. I’m assuming that’s a cascading failure originating from the cannot set terminal process group error.

Let me know if I can do anything else to help debug or fix.

I followed the same steps and get the same behavior for https://github.com/sindresorhus/alfred-emoj. Let me know if you’d like me to open an issue there, as well.

We should probably also quote the PATH, users might have spaces in their path:

eval "$($SHELL -i -l -c 'echo -e "\n"PATH=\"$PATH:\$PATH\""\n"' 2>/dev/null | grep "^PATH=")"
