Apple

Hoping someone can help with this script? I have a small xcode app I made years ago that gives users a GUI to mount shares off of our servers. I opened it up here just to make some small changes and I’m noticing the on error part not working anymore. I know this used to work, but not sure when it stopped.

Script:

tell application "Finder"

try

mount volume "smb://server.apple.com/share"

on error

tell application "Finder"

activate

display dialog "I cannot locate share or you already have it mounted!" buttons {"Cancel"} default button "Cancel" with icon caution giving up after 10

end tell

end try

end tell

I understand that you would want it to throw an error if it can’t connect (which I assume it does).

What I don’t understand is why you care if it’s already mounted. If it’s already mounted, your code won’t error and as far as I can see no bad consequences - the system won’t mount it “twice”.
