| I just discovered why I was getting a mysterious -609 ("Connection is invalid") error in Mt Lion (10.8.2).
To see the problem:
1. Compile this script as an application bundle named "main.app"
on run activate me tell me to display dialog "Running" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end run
on doSomethingElse() activate me tell me to display dialog "What do you want to do?" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end doSomethingElse
2. Compile this script as an application bundle named "CallingApp.app"
property hostAppl : "OSX_Mt_Lion:Bug Check:main.app" on run try launch application hostAppl tell application hostAppl to doSomethingElse() -- comment out and see what happens on error errText number errNr activate me "CallingApp Error = " & errNr & return & errText tell me to display dialog the result buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end try end run -----------------------------
Double-click the application "CallingApp.app".
In Lion, you will get a dialog asking "What do you want to do?". This is the correct action.
In Mt Lion, you get … 1. The "Running" dialog, then 2. The error dialog "CallingApp Error = =609"
The 'launch application' command is designed to open an application WITHOUT executing the run handler. That is its purpose. This is broken in Mt Lion. I think this is a really serious bug.
I would like to see your comments before making a bug report.
