If I put this in my "Appdelegate.applescript" it doesn't work.
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
say "1 2 3"
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_Why is that and how can I fix it?
Should work. Does the say command work when run in the Terminal app on your Mac?
Your snippet works for me, although sometimes there are problems with scripting addition commands that can be avoided by targeting the current application, for example
tellmetosay"1 2 3"
Note that using the say command will block the UI while speaking, so be careful if using it with a long string.
The problem is not using the say command, although yes I did test it in other handlers and through Terminal. The problem is that half the things I put in the handler don't work. The actual code I'm using is:
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
if application "Skype" is running then
tell application "Skype" to set SkypeState to ((send command "" script name "") as text)
if SkypeState is "COMMAND_PENDING" then
ErrorWindow's orderFront_(sender)
else
my Refresh_()
end if
else
tell application "Skype" to launch
end if
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_Note that the applicationWillFinishLaunching delegate method is called immediately before the application is initialized - your window may not be available yet. A better spot might be the applicationDidFinishLaunching method, which is called after the application ihas been launched and initialized.
It's still not working, with my code, with say, and with tell me to say.
I don't have Skype (or your other handlers) to test - are you getting any messages in Xcode's Debug Console?
Here is my full console output on 1 run and close.
