--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
hi,
lately I've tried to get some exerience in scripting DEVONthink using the
ScriptingBridge. This works overall very well. Only the "create a record
with in" command crates headaches for me. The following code-snippet
exemplifies the problem:
{{{
#!/usr/local/bin/macruby
framework "Cocoa"
framework "Foundation"
framework "ScriptingBridge"
devon = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.devon-
technologies.thinkpro2")
theGroup = devon.createLocation '/root/scripts/myscript', :in => '/'
theRecord
=devon.classForScriptingClass("record").alloc.initWithProperties({'type'=>'text','plainText'=>"Hallo
Welt!",'name' =>"helloworld"})
puts theRecord.description
# Scripting Bridge does not actually create an object in the target
application until you add the allocated and
# initialized object to an appropriate element array (SBElementArray),
such as records in my example.
# thats's the way it should be done, but its not working
puts devon.databases[0].records.insertObject(theRecord, :atIndex => 11)
# or : puts devon.databases[0].records.addObject(theRecord)
theRecord.createRecordWithIn resultRecord
}}}
While working with this code snippet I've found out that:
1. if i use: "puts theRecord" instead of "puts theRecord.description" the
script runs out of time
2. the attempt to instantiate a scripting object within DEVONthink creates
this error:
{{{
/Users/stereocle/Documents/devonruby.rb:24:in `insertObject:atIndex:':
NSGenericException: Apple event returned an error. Event = 'core'\'crel'{

'pnam':'utxt'("helloworld"), 'DTty':'utxt'("text") } } (RuntimeError)
Error info = {
ErrorNumber = -10000;
}}}
