AppleScript workflow fails to run

[nhojb]

An AppleScript workflow fails to run with the following error:

SAppleScriptErrorAppName = FStream;
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to FStream.";
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to FStream.";
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-1743";

I am pretty sure this is because Alfred does not have "Automation" permissions in Security & Privacy.

 

Alfred has the following permissions enabled:

Contacts

Accessibility

Full Disk Access

 

However macOS is never prompting me to provide permission for "Automation".

 

I have tried the following resolutions:

- Delete & reinstall Alfred app (v4.0.8)

- Reset permissions via `sudo tccutil reset All`

 

Nothing works. macOS will correctly request permission for other apps and also for Alfred for Contacts/Accessibility etc. But never for Automation.

As such I am unable to run AppleScript workflows.

 

Here is the AppleScript workflow source:

 

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "FStream"
	if (status) is greater than 0 then
		stopPlaying
	else
		startPlaying
	end if
end tell
end alfred_script

Have you tried using a Run Script action with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (AS) instead of RunNSAppleScript?

RunNSAppleScript is generally a bit weird and shouldn't be used unless you have a good reason to prefer it over /usr/bin/osascript.
