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? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
