Thx for letting me know that I should not call standard additions within application tell blocks.

Just that the do shell script in the subject line works - quite by accident it seems

These ones worked best for me:
set subject of foo to "Invoice dated " & (do shell script "date +%d%b%Y")

The use of "set subject of foo to" suggests this is inside an
application tell block, which would mean you are calling the Standard
Additions command "do shell script" within it. That's not really a good
idea: with a couple of exceptions, you should keep you scripting
addition calls outside application tell blocks.

tell application "Finder"

do shell script "date +%F"

end tell

The log report is dirty :

tell application "Finder"

do shell script "date +%F"

--> error number -1708

«event ascrgdut»

--> error number -1708

do shell script "date +%F"

--> error number -10004

end tell

tell current application

do shell script "date +%F"

--> "2014-01-20"

end tell

If we really need to leave the offending instruction in the tell block we may code :

tell application "Finder"

tell me to do shell script "date +%F"

end tell

and the log report will be the clean :

tell current application

do shell script "date +%F"

--> "2014-01-20"

end tell

Here is an other example :

tell application "System Preferences"

set switchTo_loc to localized string "Switch to Space 1" from table ¬

"DefaultShortcutsTable" in bundle file ((path to system folder as text) & "Library:PreferencePanes:Keyboard.prefPane:")

end tell

The log is :

tell application "System Preferences"

path to system folder as text

--> error number -1708

«event ascrgdut»

--> error number -1708

path to system folder as text

--> "Macintosh HD:System:"

localized string "Switch to Space 1" from table "DefaultShortcutsTable" in bundle file "Macintosh HD:System:Library:PreferencePanes:Keyboard.prefPane:"

--> "Passer au Bureau 1"

end tell

In fact the culprit is not localized string, it's path to.

Run this cleaned code :

(path to system folder as text)

tell application "System Preferences"

set switchTo_loc to localized string "Switch to Space 1" from table ¬

"DefaultShortcutsTable" in bundle file (result & "Library:PreferencePanes:Keyboard.prefPane:")

end tell

This time the log in clean :

tell current application

path to system folder as text

--> "Macintosh HD:System:"

end tell

tell application "System Preferences"

localized string "Switch to Space 1" from table "DefaultShortcutsTable" in bundle file "Macintosh HD:System:Library:PreferencePanes:Keyboard.prefPane:"

--> "Passer au Bureau 1"

end tell

No need to tell me that I was able to use :

path to library folder from system domain

--> alias "Macintosh HD:System:Library:"

path to "sprf"

--> alias "Macintosh HD:System:Library:PreferencePanes:"

I'm aware of that ;-)
