Launching app with Apple Script fails, why?

[OmarKN]

Hi and good day,

 

To launch Tex-Edit Plus I thought was a child's play, so I have a trigger then a working Apple Script:

 

-----

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"

activate

set bounds of front window to {400, 810, 1280, 1260}

end tell

-----

 

but without success. Anyone can see the reason why?

Please open the debugger, and post the output after running the workflow. In addition, please post your workflow so we can better assess where the problem may be.

Hi and good day Vítor,

 

 

This is the debugger message:

 

Starting debug for 'Test Workflow1'

 

[iNFO: alfred.workflow.trigger.hotkey] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg ''

 

 

Sorry, don't know how to upload a workflow, but what I have is a Hotkey, then a /bin/bash Apple Script:

 

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"

activate

set bounds of front window to {400, 810, 1280, 1260}

end tell

 

 

with best regards + happy new year!

What is a "/bin/bash Apple Script"? That sounds like a problem.

Hi and good day Deanishe,

 

It's "Language /bin/bash" in the context menu of Alfred. Or should I choose: osascript(AS) ?

(No idea at all here!)

[deanishe]

If you're trying to run AppleScript, you need to set the language to AppleScript, which is indeed the "AS" in /usr/bin/osascript (AS).

 

So, yeah, use that instead.

hi D.

 

ok found the mistake:

 

When I added: make new window - everything was fine, so here is the script:

 

----

 

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"

activate

make new window

set bounds of front window to {328, 577, 1264, 1102}

end tell
