I have been reading over the docs re: Implementing Scripting for the
last couple of hours:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_implement/chapter_4_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000037-BBCJEEEC
Looked Over this sample from the docs:
Implementing a Verb-First Command-Align
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_script_cmds/chapter_8_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001242-SW7
I took a look at the sample application:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleScriptingVerbs/index.html
SimpleScriptingVerbs
Seems simple enough, so I wanted to start a new application, to make
sure I had my understanding correct. I am literally copying the
SimpeCommand.h/m from the SimpleScriptingVerbs sample and trying to
implement that.
My process has been:
1) create new Cocoa application
2) Edit Info.plist to enable scripting and point to the script definition file:
<key>NSAppleScriptEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>OSAScriptingDefinition</key>
<string>MyScriptingDef.def</string>
3) create MyScriptingDef.def:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE dictionary SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/sdef.dtd">
<dictionary xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude";>
<xi:include
href="file:///System/Library/ScriptingDefinitions/CocoaStandard.sdef"
xpointer="xpointer(/dictionary/suite)"/>
<suite name="Simple Scripting Verbs" code="SVrb"
description="Terminology for the SimpleScriptingVerbs Sample.">
<command name="do simple command" code="SVrbSimp" description="run a
simple command with no parameters">
<cocoa class="SimpleCommand"/>
<result type="integer" description="returns the number seven"/>
</command>
</suite>
</dictionary>
4) check my targets to make sure MyScriptingDef.def is included in the
Copy Bundle Resources ( it is)
5) created SimpleCommand.h/m (which I copy from the
SimpleScriptingVerbs minus the scriptLog.h related files):
SimpleCommand.h:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface SimpleCommand : NSScriptCommand {
}
- (id)performDefaultImplementation;
@end
SimpleCommand.m:
#import "SimpleCommand.h"
@implementation SimpleCommand
- (id)performDefaultImplementation {
/* return 7 to show how to return a number from a command */
return [NSNumber numberWithInt:7];
}
@end
5) Run the application
6) open the script editor:
tell application "COCOA_Scriptable"
do simple command
end tell
7) compile it and I get this error:
Syntax Error
Expected end of line but found identifier
8) click OK and I see in the script editor that "simple" is
highlighted in "do simple command"
9) look at SimpleScriptingVerbs(SimpleScriptingVerbsTest.applescript):
tell application "SimpleScriptingVerbs"
do simple command
end tell
10) test that app, everything works.
Am I missing something fundamental in my application? It looks
exactly the same as the SimpleScriptingVerbs, but since it doesn't
function the same I must have missed a step somewhere?
