For the time being, I’ve just got some test code in there. So my choice calls a function as such – selected=”checkSelected()”. When I go to run the package, it always fails immediately with a javascript error. When this function is removed, the package always runs ok. I’m clearly missing something to get this to work but can’t see what it is! Can anybody help It's probably because you're trusting the documentation and you should not. According to page 11 of the "Installer Javascript Reference" documentation, to access a choice named choice0, you need to use: choices['choice0'].tooltip="Le petit pont de bois, le petit pont de bois" choices.['choice0'].tooltip="Le petit pont de bois, le petit pont de bois"; <---------------- *** JavaScript Error *** This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I set "Result of JavaScript" in the package's "Requirements" tab. In the script, I can run most JS like "var a = 'someValue'", "system.log()", "system.files.fileExistsAtPath()", "if...else...". But it seems that I cannot use objects like "my.target" and "my.choice". I print them into install.log, the result is "undefined". Do I need to add some XML style code so that I can use the "my" object? (such as <installer-gui-script minSpecVersion="1">) Is there some sample script suitable for PackageMaker3?

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… I’m trying to set up a CI environment where one step involves building an installation package via package maker. I’m fairly familiar with creating packages in the PM GUI and can create basic packages via the command line. I’m curious about what seems to be a vast disconnect between the options available in the GUI compared to those available on the command line; the latter of which appears to be very feature poor from the man page description. I’ve done quite a bit of searching in the ADC docs and on Google only to come up very frustrated. Documentation is scarce at best and what is out there tends to be in excess of three years old. Does anyone on this list know of any current, up to date, documentation on the command line functionality of packagemaker? I’m specifically interested in setting installation requirements. I’d also love to see some example scripts using it if anyone has them lying around. AFAIK, the command line version of PackageMaker accepts PackageMaker project as input. So it's as rich as the UI version. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
