By the way, it is not logging but it sees and receives the arguments!
<script>
script Foo
on run argv
repeat with i from 1 to (count argv)
--say "hi"
say item i of argv
end repeat
return 42
end run
end script
run script Foo with parameters {"a", 1}
</script>
I believe I’ve noticed before but can’t remember if I have noticed recently, that scripts fail to log items in handlers (in the main script).
Have to check!
It does log on handles in the main script.
