Re: Applescript error - NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError

Hmm... I added support for -objectSpecifier to the class and put a breakpoint on it, but when I do:

set foo to name of current task

where 'current task' returns a Task object and 'name' is one of the functions on the object (setName is another), the breakpoints aren't hit on either the call to retrieve 'current task' or 'name'. I still get "NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError" in the script editor. If I do

set foo to current task

then the breakpoint to retrieve 'current task' in the NSApplication derived class is hit and THEN it hits the -objectSpecifier function. I'm probably missing something fundamental. Is my AppleScript syntax correct here? I should add that I did search the archives but none of the original discussions enlightened me.

No. Is that important? None of the samples or tutorials that I've seen mention it.

Yes. If you make an object accessible through AppleScript, then it must implement -objectSpecifier or else you won't be able to use the object as a script variable. For example, running "set theWidget to make new widget at front of widgets" followed by "open theWidget" will end with an error on that last line if -objectSpecifier is not implemented.

I'm not sure where this is documented, but I think you'll find more information about -objectSpecifier by checking the archives.
