solved AppleScript calls old version of script

[jemostrom]

I'm probably missing something very basic here but I can figure out what. I have this AppleScript in Alfred

on main(notetext)
	tell script "jemDT"
		create_entry(the current date, notetext)
	end tell 
end main

on alfred_script(q)
  main(q)
end alfred_script

 

Unfortunately it seems like it's calling a cached (?) version of create_entry. If I make changes to what create_entry does, it doesn't show up when I call this script. But if I put this slightly modified script in Script Editor and try

on main(notetext)
	tell script "jemDT"
		create_entry(the current date, notetext)
	end tell
end main

on alfred_script(q)
	main(q)
end alfred_script

alfred_script("Hello")

Then everything works as expected. So to me it seems like Alfred uses a cached version of jemDT or something like that. Any suggestions for how I can get Alfred to use the current version of jemDT?

Try replacing NSAppleScript with a regular Run Script with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (AS).

 

NSAppleScript has some really weird behaviour, and it's generally a bad idea to use it because it runs on Alfred's main thread and therefore blocks Alfred.

Thanks, that worked perfectly
