[Solved] How to call an applescript within the workflow folder

[mweibel]

Hi,

 

I added a *.scpt file to the workflow folder and want to call it from the "run script" action.

How can I do this?

 

I tried this:

`/usr/bin/osascript runit.scpt`

 

and also:

 

`/usr/bin/osascript ./runit.scpt`

 

But it doesn't seem to work. When I run the script from the applescript editor it works though.

Are you displaying any dialogs in your script? osascript doesn't allow user interaction (such as dialogs), however you can wrap them in a tell block to get it working correctly:

 

tell application "System Events"
	activate
	display dialog "It worked!"
end tell

 

If that doesn't fix it, make sure you're using the correct language in the script action (should be bash or zsh). If it still isn't working, you can try running the command from the Terminal, and see what errors it might be outputting.

Nevermind. After compiling in the Applescript editor, I didn't save the file again. Therefore osascript mentioned that it has uncompiled changes and can't be run like this.

 

Therefore, both of the commands work. If you encounter similar problems, make sure you have compiled & saved the file.
