If sync folder is set, install script doesn't work

[jgogstad]

I had set my "Syncing" directory (under Alfred Preferences->Advanced) to a custom folder I use for backups. If this directory is set, Alfred looks there for workflows, not in the default ~/Library/Application Support/… directory. Thus it finds no jira workflow after following the installation instructions.

I suggest that you (ideally) update the install script to figure the correct place to put the symlink, or just update the docs.

Any help on this? Having the same isse

The installation script looks for Alfred preferences in five common directories:

"$HOME/Dropbox"
"$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs"
"$HOME/Google Drive"
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3"
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2"

If you use a different directory, you can do that by passing the directory to the build script as the first parameter:

npm run build /alternate/path/to/directory

If that still doesn't work, please update this ticket to let me know. But I agree, I should definitely mention that in the docs.
