I have a complex solution ” Xcode AppleScript Obj-C project, loading up libraries and other scripts to publish an InDesign catalog from FileMaker pro data ” which, after working great for years, is having issues with 10.10.
I tracked it down to a problem when the script opens a FileMaker database and begins running scripts within it.
After testing and troubleshooting, it seems to be some kind of intermittent issue where the script just won’t run. Its odd because the solution starts by running a few scripts in a networked database and those seem to work perfectly, driven by the same subroutine. The problem only occurs with DB files opened from a folder directory. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t, including some time without me changing anything in the code (just re-running).
I am curious if anyone else has had an issue with this kind of thing and/or if you might have any suggestions as to what to try. Things I have tried (all of which may not have made a difference since the problem disappears and reappears seemingly at will):
¢ Moved many scripts that used to be externally loaded into the Xcode project
¢ Removed the extension from the DB file name when it calls the script
¢ Changed my method of detecting the completion of a FM script running, thinking I was having accessibility security issues.
¢ Rebooted
I am posting this here rather than the AS-Obj-C forum since I think it is more of an OS/AS issue than Xcode… but I could be wrong.
Any ideas?
