Hello Chris,
Playing around above task, I first encountered following behavior that makes me vaguely reminiscent of something. I’m currently unable to fully explain it, but here is it anyway (this is with Safari 10.1.1 (11603.2.5) on OS X 10.11.6 (15G1510)).
It goes about the way a reference such as "tabs of windows whose URL begins with" gets evaluated depending on the context:
set urlOfInterest to "https://www.apple.com";
tell application "Safari"
(* This yields a list of (possibly empty) per-window lists of tabs *)
set tabsOfInterest to tabs of windows whose URL begins with urlOfInterest
(* This seems to yield a (possibly empty) list of tabs *)
set tabsOfInterest to {}
repeat with someTab in (tabs of windows whose URL begins with urlOfInterest)
set end of tabsOfInterest to contents of someTab
end repeat
tabsOfInterest
end tell
For example:
{{tab 1 of window id 2399, tab 3 of window id 2399}, {}, {tab 1 of window id 2394}}
{tab 1 of window id 2399, tab 3 of window id 2399, tab 1 of window id 2394}
So, assuming that this behavior is not just an artefact valid for only some precise OS/AS/Safari combination, one could quickly get the reference of a tab containing the wanted URL, then the reference of the window containing that tab, all of this without having to resort to tab indexes or window ids:
set urlOfInterest to "https://www.apple.com";
tell application "Safari"
try
repeat with tabOfInterest in (tabs of windows whose URL begins with urlOfInterest)
set tabOfInterest to contents of tabOfInterest
exit repeat
end repeat
set winOfInterest to first item of (windows whose tabs contains tabOfInterest)
tell winOfInterest
set current tab to tabOfInterest
if index is not 1 then
set visible to false
set index to 1
set visible to true
end if
end tell
end try
end tell
But I’m probably playing with fire…
Axel
