Re: LC -> Applescript -> Chrome

2022-10-13 Thread jbv via use-livecode 

If anyone's interested, I think I have found the
cause of my problem with Applescript in LC, and more
specifically with the "click at" command.
For months I've been using MouseTools as Terminal/shell
application to emulate keyboard and/or mouse events.
AFAIK MouseTools is pretty old and hasn't been updated
in ages, and a recent Mac OSX update might have made
its behavior erratic.
Therefore I have switched to cliclick (https://www.bluem.net/),
whose last update is from 2021 and that is much more easier to use,
and things have improved (as far as I can see).

Best

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your reply.
Actually it's kind of weird : after running the script a few
times in the Applescript editor, it started to work again in
LC...
May be it was something in my setup, I don't know.

Best,

I have a stack that interacts with Chrome via Applescript.

And when I run the same Applescript in the script editor,
it still runs fine as before.
The line is :
tell application "System Events" to click at {x, y}
I am using LC 9.6.8

What should I look at to fix the issue ?


At first this struck me as potentially an intentional change from
Apple for security purposes, but a quick DuckDuckGo search shows many
having the same AppleScript issue with "click at":
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=macOS+applescript+%22click+at%22

Interesting discussions, but I didn't see a proposed solution that
works for Mavericks.  I also didn't look that hard; there may be a fix
out there. Or it may be a bug in macOS.  But at least it isn't you. :)
