Sharing extension with arguments does not start

[skrohmer]

Hi,

Does anyone have an sharing extension running successfully which receives arguments at the call? I don't even get the simplest program running which only contains print 'hello'. When I leave the shortcut parameter "Arguments" blank the program runs. When I set the arguments to any string or number the program is not called.

@skrohmer do you have an example of your code?

[skrohmer]

Yes, see above: print 'hello' ;-) You don't really need code, one line printing some text (or sys.argv) is enough. Go to Settings / Share Extension Shortcuts -> create a new shortcut -> set Arguments to any value. After that run the extension by sharing any file. That's it.

Sorry... I'm a little tired !

It works for me though. Prints hello.

Did you try using the apex module?

import appex

if appex.is_running_extension():
	#share url from safari
	print(appex.get_url())
