NSRangeSpecifier error with startSpecifier's container


  • Subject: NSRangeSpecifier error with startSpecifier's container
  • From: Bill Cheeseman <email@hidden>

In my subclass of NSScriptCommand, my override of
-performDefaultImplementation returns what appears to be a valid range
specifier. However, in Script Editor's result window it shows up as a range
specifier ('companies from ...') instead of the desired list of objects. And
when I try to use it in a script to get the name property of each object,
like this:

   get name of (MyCommand)

I don't get a list result as expected, such as {"name 1", "name 2"}.

Instead I get this odd error message: "A range specifier's startSpecifier
cannot have a container specifier currently."

If I set the startSpecifier's container specifier to nil, I get an incorrect
reference, namely, to object "of application" when in fact it is nested more
deeply (it should be object "of document").

What is this about? What's with "currently"?
