Workflow using Applescript not working in Mojave

[mikejandreau]

Hey guys,

 

Part of one of my workflows, when triggered via a keyboard shortcut, pauses any audio/video that's playing and changes the volume on my computer.

 

Here's the (basic) script:

 

on alfred_script(q)
--Check App Status, to only act on apps if running
tell application "System Events" to set SkypeIsRunning to (count of (every process whose name is "Skype")) > 0
	--iTunes
if application "iTunes" is running then
	tell application "iTunes"
		pause
	end tell
end if
if application "Spotify" is running then
	tell application "Spotify"
		pause
	end tell
end if

if application "Plex Media Player" is running then
	activate application "Plex Media Player"
	tell application "System Events"
		key code 49
	end tell
end if
 
set curVolume to get volume settings
if output muted of curVolume is false then
	set volume with output muted
else
	set volume without output muted
end if
end alfred_script

It doesn't seem to work anymore in Mojave, likely due to permissions, though I went through the permissions doc (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/macos-mojave/) and confirmed Alfred has the right permissions in Privacy for both Accessibility, Full Disk Access and Automation.

 

But yet my script doesn't work.

 

Anyone have any suggestions to try?

I must be stupid.

 

It was stuck because iTunes was frozen.  Seems to be fine once I rebooted.

 

Phew.
