Folks;
I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be easy, but I'm
stymied by what I think is a permissions error I don't understand.
I'm trying to run a script using NSTask.
I have the static script stored as a separate file in my bundle.
I have created a folder in my "Applications Support" directory called
"Scripts" and copied my script and several items into this directory.
Note that this has a space in the full pathname!
SO I have tried the following:
NSString *myScriptPath = [[self scriptsFolderPath]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myUseful.script"]; //yes I have
verified this is a valid path!!!
NSTask *task = [[[NSTask alloc] init] autorelease];
[task setLaunchPath: myScriptPath];
[task setArguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:...]];
[task setStandardInput:[NSPipe pipe]];
[task launch];
ERRROR: launch path not accessible
So, thinking that the 'space' maybe wanking out the 'setLaunchPath' I
tried to convert to a 'safe' url path:
NSURL *myScriptFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:t];
...
[task setLaunchPath:[myScriptFileURL absoluteString]];
Same error!
The docs don't make it clear TO ME why I would need special
permissions to launch a script in my own "App Support" directory.
Am I out in the weeds chasing the wrong rabbits?
Any guidance appreciated!
Steve
