NSUserUnixTask and com.apple.foundation.UserScriptService crash


  • Subject: NSUserUnixTask and com.apple.foundation.UserScriptService crash

I am trying to run the following one line echo bash script using NSUserUnixTask:

echo "hello" >/dev/stderr

The Script file is named TaskLauncher and I have dropped it into my apps code signed id folder in NSApplicationScriptsDirectory.
The task fails to launch and com.apple.foundation.UserScriptService crashes leaving a report in the console.
I am doing something simple wrong, either that or my expectations are wrong.
There is no sample code for this class.

The error says "Invalid argument" but I don't see what the issue is.

My code is :

	    // get scripts folder
            NSURL *scriptsFolderURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
                                       URLForDirectory:NSApplicationScriptsDirectory
                                       inDomain:NSUserDomainMask
                                       appropriateForURL:nil
                                       create:NO
                                       error:error];

            if (*error) {
                MLogInfo(@"Error: %@", *error);

                errMsg = NSLocalizedString(@"Cannot access applications scripts directory: ", @"Return by server when cannot access application scripts folder in sandboxed app.");
                [NSException raise:MGSTaskStartException format:@"%@ %@", errMsg, *error];
            }

            MLogInfo(@"NSApplicationScriptsDirectory = %@", scriptsFolderURL);

            // form task runner path.
            NSString *taskRunnerExec = @"TaskLauncher";
            NSURL *taskRunnerURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPathComponents: @[[scriptsFolderURL path], taskRunnerExec]];

            MLogInfo(@"taskRunnerURL = %@", taskRunnerURL);

            // initialise the task
            _unixTask = [[NSUserUnixTask alloc] initWithURL:taskRunnerURL error:error];
            if (*error) {
                errMsg = NSLocalizedString(@"Cannot create unix task launcher: ", @"Return by server when cannot access application scripts task launcher in sandboxed app.");
                [NSException raise:MGSTaskStartException format:@"%@ %@", errMsg, *error];

            }

            void (^completionHandler)(NSError *err);

            completionHandler = ^(NSError *err) {
                if (err) {
                    NSLog(@"TaskLauncher failed: %@", err);
                } else {
                    NSLog(@"TaskLauncher okay");
                }
            };

            NSArray *taskArguments = @[@"hello", @"task"];

            // execute the task.
            [_unixTask executeWithArguments:taskArguments completionHandler:completionHandler];
