I'm just wondering if this is a bug or a feature. This test script ...
set params to {1, {a:1, b:2}, me}
run script "on run paramList
return paramList
end run" with parameters params
... returns {1, {a:1, b:2}, «script»} as expected.
If params isn't a list, though - say it's just 1 or "Fred" - the result
is still {1} or {"Fred"}, suggesting that some process tries to ensure
the text script receives a list parameter. With AS 1.8.3 and 1.9.1, the
result is similar when params is a record: the script returns a record in
a list. With AS 1.10.7, the result with a record is simply «script»,
whose properties are those of Script Editor.
But the point of this query concerns when params is a script or a script
object. The result in this case, with AS 1.9.1 or 1.10.7, is a list
containing the decompiled text of the script or script object.
set params to me
run script "on run paramList
return paramList
end run" with parameters params
(* --> {"set params to me
run script \"on run paramList
return paramList
end run\" with parameters params"} *)
This works however the main script's run (unless it's a run-only
application) and can be very useful - but is it supposed to happen?
