I would like to be able to write a script to add a new Keychain before my "login" Keychain. I can't even get this to work from terminal. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you try GUI Scripting?
Pierre,
Thanks for answering. I have tried a GUI script but did not find any way to move the folders/set priority.
The following GUI script uses cliclick to move the new keychain before the “login” keychain. It seems to work properly most of the time. It might require some minor adjustments though.
set theKeychain to "My New Keychain"
set thePassword to "My New Password"
tell application "Keychain Access"
activate
repeat until frontmost is true
end repeat
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keychain Access"
tell menu bar 1
clickmenu item "Keychain Viewer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Window"
if existsmenu item "Show Keychains" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" then ¬
keystroke "k" using {command down}
end tell
set theOutline to outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
set theValue to (characterid 65532) & space & space & theKeychain
if not (exists (row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue)) then
keystroke "n" using {option down, command down}
delay 1
keystroketheKeychain & return
delay 1
keystrokethePassword & tab & thePassword & return
set {x, y} to position of row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue
set x to x + 21
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dd:" & x & "," & y & " du:" & x & "," & (y - 20)
end if
keystroke "q" using {command down}
end tell
Hope it can help.
Thank you for all the help. I am receiving an error "System Events got an error: sh: /usr/local/bin/cliclick: No such file or directory". Do you have any thoughts why this would be happening?
Thanks again.
Have you downloaded and installed cliclick before running the script ?
I now have it working but only moves the folder one spot. Thank you for all your help.
You could just replace
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dd:" & x & "," & y & " du:" & x & "," & (y - 20)
with
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dd:" & x & "," & y & " du:" & x & "," & (y - n*20)
to have the script move the folder n spots.
It works! Thanks. Do you know if there is any way to get the number of keychains in the list? I want to be able to do this without knowing exactly how many keychains there are.
This new version of the script should do what you are asking for:
set theKeychain to "My New Keychain"
set thePassword to "My New Password"
tell application "Keychain Access"
activate
repeat until frontmost is true
end repeat
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keychain Access"
tell menu bar 1
clickmenu item "Keychain Viewer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Window"
if existsmenu item "Show Keychains" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" then ¬
keystroke "k" using {command down}
end tell
set theOutline to outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
set theValue to (characterid 65532) & space & space & theKeychain
if not (exists (row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue)) then
keystroke "n" using {option down, command down}
delay 1
keystroketheKeychain & return
delay 1
keystrokethePassword & tab & thePassword & return
set {x, y} to position of row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue
set x to x + 21
set n to 0
repeat with thisValue in (get value of text field 1 of rows of theOutline)
set n to n + 1
if thisValue contains " login" then exit repeat
end repeat
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dd:" & x & "," & y & " du:" & x & "," & (y - n * 20)
end if
keystroke "q" using {command down}
end tell
Thank you so much you have been so helpful.
the only thing I had to change was
if thisValue contains " login" then exit repeat
>>> if thisValue contains " My New Keychain" then exit repeat
set n to n + 1
end repeat
<<<<<
Thank you again.
I'm glad I could help you. Many thanks for your feedback.
Hello Pierre I am trying to make an all in one script to download "homebrew" then "cliclick" then run the script. I have an issue of the terminal needing the sudo password but the rest of the script completing before the user is able to type it in. Is there a way to have "wait" type command until one part of the script has completed to run the rest? I have tried the delay command but have not had any success.
set theKeychain to "testing12345"
set thePassword to "testing12345"
tell application "Terminal"
do script "ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)\"" & return & "brew install cliclick"
end tell
tell application "Keychain Access"
activate
repeat until frontmost is true
end repeat
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keychain Access"
tell menu bar 1
clickmenu item "Keychain Viewer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Window"
if existsmenu item "Show Keychains" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" then ¬
keystroke "k" using {command down}
end tell
set theOutline to outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
set theValue to (characterid 65532) & space & space & theKeychain
if not (exists (row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue)) then
keystroke "n" using {option down, command down}
delay 1
keystroketheKeychain & return
delay 1
keystrokethePassword & tab & thePassword & return
set {x, y} to position of row 1 of theOutline whose value of text field 1 is theValue
set x to x + 21
set n to 0
repeat with thisValue in (get value of text field 1 of rows of theOutline)
if thisValue contains " testing12345" then exit repeat
set n to n + 1
end repeat
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dd:" & x & "," & y & " du:" & x & "," & (y - n * 20)
end if
end tell
Thank you for your help.
First of all, it would be more elegant to replace
if thisValue contains " testing12345" then exit repeat
with
if thisValue contains theKeychain then exit repeat
in the last part of the script.
Now, why should you have to download and install cliclick each time you run the script. Why not instead save the script as a script bundle with cliclick as one of its resources (inside the bundle's Contents/Resources/ folder) ?
This would be an "app" that I would deploy to multiple devices that do not have cliclick installed.
In testing this script I delete "Homebrew" and "cliclick" every time.
Thank you for your help.

Then why not provide cliclick as one of the application's resources (inside the application's Contents/Resources/ folder)
