The `shell` action in v2.0.5 not working as before (v1.10.1)

Hey, it’s me again. Sorry for being annoying, I hope you don’t mind my bug reports. 😬 I’m trying to post one issue at a time, the blockers first… 😅

---

I’m running the latest version from GitHub (pipx install git+https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize.git).

The shell is not behaving the same way it did before.

This is my rule, converted from v1.10.1 and enhanced with the new syntax from v2.0.5:

rules:
  - name: "Remove some hidden files and then remove empty dirs"
    locations: ~/
    filters:
      - name:
          startswith: .bash_history
    actions:
      - shell:
          cmd: "fd -uu -0 -tf -i .DS_Store ~/Downloads ~/Desktop ~/OneDrive ~/Documents | xargs -0 rm -v"
          ignore_errors: true
      - echo: "{shell.output}"
      - shell:
          cmd: "fd -uu -0 -tf -i .nomedia ~/Downloads ~/Desktop ~/OneDrive ~/Documents | xargs -0 rm -v"
          ignore_errors: true
      - echo: "{shell.output}"
      - shell:
          cmd: "find -f ~/Downloads -f ~/Desktop -f ~/Documents ~/OneDrive -mindepth 1 -type d -empty -print -delete"
          ignore_errors: true
      - echo: "{shell.output}"

This is the output:

❯ organize run
organize 2.0.5
Config: "/Users/aa/Library/Application Support/organize/config.yaml"

    - (echo) find: ~/Downloads: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/Desktop: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/Documents: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/OneDrive: No such file or directory

success 1 / fail 0

If I run the command manually, exactly as in the rule, it works:

❯ fd -uu -0 -tf -i .DS_Store ~/Downloads ~/Desktop ~/OneDrive ~/Documents | xargs -0 rm -v
/Users/aa/Desktop/.DS_Store
/Users/aa/OneDrive/.DS_Store

Somehow shell expansion is not working, the ~/ path is not being expanded. All these directories exist, despite the error in the output:

    - (echo) find: ~/Downloads: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/Desktop: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/Documents: No such file or directory
    - (echo) find: ~/OneDrive: No such file or directory

Please wait a moment, I’m getting this sorted out.

One more thing: is there a way to show the current output of the shell command being executed instead of ⠴ organizing with the animated icon?

Now the output only shows after the command is over. If it’s a long-running command, I don’t see what’s going on.

If I remember well, it worked like this in v1.10.1.

I can also open a separate issue for this.

Quoto, in the previous version it was possible to see the shell output in real time and this allowed me to be able to act if my intervention was required. For example, among my commands I have brew upgrade, which allows you to update installed packages and it is possible that my intervention may be required, to confirm an action or to enter the root password. If this happens, now ⠴ organizing remains in the loop because it is not possible to intervene in the shell.
