Outputs from a python script aren't passed to next action in Shortcuts.app
-
Hi all !!
I tried to make the simple shortcut to display string is outputted from a python script in Shortcuts.app. I share the screenshot of this shortcut. You can check this screenshot by accessing here. I translated captions of UI from Japanese to English Because I'm Japanese.
HelloWorld.py only output "Hello World !!" to standard output. I run this shortcut. But "Hello World !!" is not displayed as instead an empty message box is shown. I understand that "Run script" action runs the specified script and pass standard output to next action as text. Do I misunderstand the specification of "Run script" action ?
My environment is described in below. Can you advice me about this issue ?
Pythonista 3 version: 3.2
iOS version: 12.0.1 -
@kuni255 if, in Shortcuts app, you press the "i " of the "run Pythonista3 script" action, you can see that result is equal to input.
Thus, your script can't pass data to Shortcut when it is finished, except if you copy your data to clipboard in Pythonistaimport clipboard clipboard.set('hello world')

@cvp Thank you for your information. I got "Hello World !!" message by transmitting the result of script via clipboard. I misunderstood the specification of "Run script" action Because the quality of translated documentation of actions is a bit worse.
