System Info oddity.
Trying to help an asker, I have to identify the machine on which one
script is used.
I use this code:
set intelInside to CPU type of (system info) contains "Intel"
On my G5 (PowerPC 970) it behaves well.
On my Imac (Intel 80486) it behaves well.
And here, on a PowerPC 7450 with 10.4.11, it works as expected...
Alas, on the askers imac, it fails with this log report:
tell application "System Events"
choose folder
alias "iMac HD:Users:rrrrr:Desktop:Test:"
get UI elements enabled
true
end tell
Does the above really appear in the events log when just running 'set
intelInside to CPU type of (system info) contains "Intel"'?
tell current application
system info
{AppleScript version:"1.10.7", AppleScript Studio version:"1.4.1",
system version:"10.4.11", short user name:"rrrrr", long user
name:"RRRRR XXXXX", user ID:501, user locale:"en_GB", home
directory:alias "iMac HD:Users:rrrrr:", boot volume:"iMac HD",
computer name:"imac", host name:"imac.local", IPv4 address:"*****",
primary Ethernet address:"*****", CPU type:"PowerPC 7450", CPU speed:
1249, physical memory:1024}
"Can't get CPU type of {AppleScript version:\"1.10.7\",
AppleScript Studio version:\"1.4.1\", system version:\"10.4.11\",
short user name:\"rrrrr\", long user name:\"RRRRR XXXXX\", user ID:
501, user locale:\"en_GB\", home directory:alias \"iMac
HD:Users:rrrrr:\", boot volume:\"iMac HD\", computer name:\"imac\",
host name:\"imac.local\", IPv4 address:\"*****\", primary Ethernet
address:\"*****\", CPU type:\"PowerPC 7450\", CPU speed:1249,
physical memory:1024}."
So I'm forced to use this ugly workaround:
set maybe to (get system info)
log class of maybe
(* it's supposed to be a record *)
(* Here I will try an ugly workaround *)
set maybe to maybe as list
set CPUtype to item 14 of maybe
log CPUtype
It correctly claims that maybe is a record but can't extract the
embedded property.
Happily I may grab it after an ugly coercion to list.
What may be the wrongdoer ?
No non-standard scripting additions installed on that box?
Just a guess... ;-)
