Sadly the behaviour isn't different when i put an ignore statement
around it. Interestingly enough if you do the same using Script
Editor, targetting Script Editor then everything works fine. no
timeout. Script Editor too seems to be an Cocoa Multi Document
application using OSAKit. So tt sould is possible to what i want to do.
The possibility of deadlock issues has occured to me. E.g. a deadlock
issue appears when you trigger build of xcode using SubEthaEdit -
Xcode then in turn asks subethaedit about open files and this times
out. this can be resolved by not waiting for the response of using
the suggested ingoring statement.
However what I really want to do is execute scripts as e.g. the
global applescript menu does. So there is no direct need that
SubEthaEdit is the actual executor, but it has to trigger the
execution. So just running the script in some external execution
environment would work too for me. Hacks like running the script
using an NSTask using OSAScript come to my mind, but I thought
NSAppleScript would be the right way to go and handle the problematic
situations for me. And again - Script Editor has a way to do it.
Best,

If it was your application itself, sending itself script commands,
I'd say that you weren't considering deadlock issues -- that is,
the app would be sending itself a script command and then waiting
for the result to come back, preventing the command from actually
being received and handled.
But I've always assumed that NSAppleScript took care of that stuff.
Nonetheless, is the behavior different if you say "save front
document ignoring result"?

Hi everyone,
we'd like to put extensive scripting into the next release of
SubEthaEdit, for this we need to run AppleScripts inside our
application. Sadly even with simple things like "save front
document" we get this error:
2006-04-18 21:48:30.695 Sketch[7005] executeError error:{
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "AppleEvent timed out.";
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Sketch got an error: AppleEvent
timed out.";
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1712;
NSAppleScriptErrorRange = <1d000000 13000000 >;
}
Although save is triggered, the rest of the script stops doing
anyhting. How do we resolve this?
I put an slightly modified sketch application to: http://www.tauschinger.de/apple/Sketch-NSAppleScriptTimeout.zip
all it does is add a menu item to the Tool menu that runs "tell
application "Sketch" to save front document" via NSAppleScript and
nslogs the error if any. The output is the one above.
Help is greatly appreciated,
Dominik
P.S.: the only information i found in the net was http://
developer.apple.com/technotes/ic/ic_01.html - an ancient technote
that says that this behaviour is to be expected (of mac os 7).
