Very simple xargs commands fail

[ghost]

ytfzf --channel-link=https://youtube.com/c/<> | xargs ytfzf -c invidious-channel

or even

cat a | xargs ytfzf

Describe the bug

I can only get echo to work with xargs for ytfzf. Even programs like cat fail.

To Reproduce

Try any command other than echo which will print a string to stdout, and then xargs it in.

Expected behavior

ytfzf should accept stdout regardless of it's origin.

Screenshots

Information

• OS: Debian 11
• Terminal: xfce-terminal
• Ytfzf version: latest
• Output of ls -l "$(which sh)" (if your using fish: ls -l (which sh)):

I cannot replicate this, regardless, in your situation you don't need xargs as ytfzf accepts stdin as input

cat a | ytfzf -
ytfzf --channel-link=... | ytfzf -c invidious-channel -

What error shows up when you try to run that?

Hi Euro20179. Thanks for the quick reply. I get this error (using the channel thpsvideos:

rm: cannot remove '/tmp/ytfzf-env': No such file or directory

I've also made a video of it available on my site: https://filmsbytom.com/ytfzf0.mp4.

yay I was able to replicate the bug, now I just need to fix it.

Ok so the problem is that something is adding a \r (carrage return) (not even a new line) at the end it could be xargs or ytfzf so i'll have to go hunt for that.

Edit:
I believe it's xargs, don't know why but either way,

adding _search=$(printf "%s" "$_search" | sed 's/[\r\n]$//g') seems to fix it.

Edit 2:
nvm it was curl adding the return character, and it's fixed by just taking it out of the result.

This has been resolved in this commit: ae1cbfd and will be in version 2.4.1
