Congratulations on your new Raycast extension! 🚀

We have a lower capacity at the moment, and extension reviews might take longer than usually to get the initial review. Once the PR is approved and merged, the extension will be available on our Store.

Sorry for the inconvenience

I tried this, but when using Later - Read It Later, I ended up with this error (was using Arc at the time)

09:59:59.189 Error: Command failed: osascript -e  
0:9: execution error: Variablen undefined er ikke defineret. (-2753)

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:422:12)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:514:28)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:domain:488:12)
    at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1105:16)
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:305:5) {
  code: 1,
  killed: false,
  signal: null,
  cmd: 'osascript -e  ',
  stdout: '',
  stderr: '0:9: execution error: Variablen undefined er ikke defineret. (-2753)\n'
}

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Thank you for your finding. There are some details I want you to provide:

1. Arc version code
2. Did your Arc open or not while using Later - Read It Later Command
3. Did this problem appear in other browsers likeMicrosoft Edge, Chrome?

[pernielsentikaer]

Yes, it also happens with Chrome (and Arc of course), both in the newest versions. I'm having the browser in front before running the command.

Nothing changed besides the error in the console

[pernielsentikaer]

I was able to do some more testing:

• The error is occurring because I use Velja as middleware for the browser. Maybe we should let the user set their preferred browser in preferences instead?

• use useForm in the form for adding new entries since it comes with validation and haldling of states 🙂

• The delete action should maybe have style={Action.Style.Destructive} and a confirmAlert?

I think if I got the user's default browser, saving links and opening links would be intuitive and out of the box. Appending a preference view for choosing a default browser is another good solution, I will make a tradeoff about that. Thank you for advising.

[pernielsentikaer]

Thanks for looking into this, a lot is using Velja and other managers so I think it will happen pretty often

[pernielsentikaer]

You should add the preferences the right place, you shouldn't use a command for that 🙂
