We've run into a couple of issues with doing automated builds of
Automator actions. We want our builds to depend on the current
state of the source control repository, as opposed to the state of
the build machine.
1) The AppleScript Automator action template in Xcode stores
scripts in .applescript text files, and compiles them at build time
with osacompile. We want to make sure that osacompile uses the
correct dictionary -- the dictionary for the version of the app we
are in the process of building. We'd rather not have to have a
copy of the app installed on the build machine, and even then
having osascript compile against whatever copy of the app that it
finds on the build machine would not give us the sort of
predictable results we're looking for. However, there does not
appear to be a way to pass a .sdef or aete resource to osacompile
-- am I missing something?
Nope. This is (IMO) a big issue with Automator at the moment.
I've logged this in Radar and you should too :)
