However, I am getting odd error messages when I run things from
within ProjectBuilder. They look like NSLog messages but they
aren't coming from my code. Every time I run a script (probably
every time an AppleEvent gets generated by the Script Editor) I
get a message like this:
Aug 06 18:27:25 MyProj[336] _NSMacOSTypeFromString(): string
'(null)' is not exactly 4 characters long.
I haven't seen this error myself, but try checking your AppleEventCodes
in your script suite definition file (and if you've written any
commands, check AppleEventClassCodes, too). Perhaps you've forgotten to
set a value in one of them, which is why the application complains about
a (null) string. Both your classes and your script suite itself must
have valid AppleEventCodes.
You can also check the spelling of your keys; maybe you've misspelled
AppleEventCode somewhere, resulting in a null value for that key.
You can make writing script suite definitions easier by selecting a
Plist definition from the inspector. This automatically fills in new
siblings or children with the appropriate keys, so you don't
accidentally forget to include or misspell a required key.
