In Script Editor under Preferences>General>Default Language, one of my options is 'osa '/‘asDB’ (2.7). (I also have AppleScript (2.7) and JavaScript (1.1) as options.)
Any idea what 'osa '/‘asDB’ is and how I can remove it?
The Script Editor and other AppleScripts are running as expected. However, I believe this is creating a problem for me in another app, Livecode which won’t run AppleScript currently.
I’m running OS 10.15.7. And this only seems to be a problem for my account on this computer. Other users don’t see this option.
Thanks for any advice.
It’s Script Debugger’s debugging component. Unless you choose it in Script Editor, it does nothing.
Whatever your problem is in Livecode, it’s nothing to do with this.
Thanks for your reply.
On other machines and other user accounts on this machine, I don’t get the option of 'osa '/‘asDB’ as a language in Script Editor. So it feels like something is wrong that Script Editor thinks this is an available language alongside AppleScript and Javascript. (As I said, I don’t choose it in Script Editor, so it is functioning normally. But I’m fairly certain this is an indication of the problem I’m having in LiveCode.)
I appreciate your input. I’ve Googled this extensively and have found no one else mentioning this issue. Confounding.
I know nothing about LiveCode, and I don’t seem to be allowed to download it to check. But if it’s not using the default component, or checking what component it’s using (assuming it is using a component at all), then it’s pretty badly broken.
Anyway, it’s easy enough to remove: go to ~/Library/Components and remove the file called Script Debugger.component. (It will be installed again should you run Script Debugger in future.)
Thank you. Knowing the location is helpful in diagnosing the issue.
