Re: jumpstart me with the scripting bridge

So it looks as if Apple already knew that -addObject:'s approach was defective because it broke on *Finder*, no less, and had to hardcode a special, Finder-specific exception into Scripting Bridge to avoid embarrassing themselves. 

Addendum to the addendum: looks as if iTunes wasn't as blessed:


import ScriptingBridge as sb

itunes = sb.SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier_(u'com.apple.itunes')
playlists = itunes.sources().objectAtIndex_(0).playlists()
newplaylist = itunes .classForScriptingClass_ (u'playlist').alloc().initWithProperties_({u'name': u'my playlist'})
playlists.addObject_(newplaylist)

throws:

File "/tmp/tmpscript", line 26, in <module>
playlists.addObject_(newplaylist)
objc.error: NSGenericException - Apple event returned an error. Event = 'core'\'crel'{ 'kocl':'cPly', 'insh':'insl'{ 'kobj':'obj '{ 'want':'cPly', 'from':'obj '{ 'want':'cSrc', 'from':'null'(), 'form':'indx', 'seld':1 }, 'form':'indx', 'seld':'abso'($206C6C61$) }, 'kpos':'end ' }, 'prdt':{ 'pnam':'utxt'("my playlist") } }
Error info = {
ErrorNumber = -10014;
}


The correct form - as iTunes scripters will know - is:

app ('iTunes ').make (:new=>:playlist, :at=>app.sources[1], :with_properties=>{:name=>'my playlist'})

and you can omit the 'at' parameter if you want, e.g.:

ITApplication *itunes = [[ITApplication alloc] initWithName: @"iTunes.app"];

NSDictionary *properties = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"my playlist" forKey:[ASConstant name]];

	ITMakeCommand *cmd = [[[itunes make] new_: [ITConstant playlist]]
	                           withProperties: properties];

	ITReference *playlist = [cmd send];
