I am trying to make a pic to text code for Python. I run it in Atom(compiler) and it works fine. I run it in Terminal and it runs fine, but I'm trying to do it in automator but it isn't working. Here's the error:
macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
Still doesnt work getting this error:
Getting this now:
Ok with stdin I get:
and with as arguments:
I'm not sure why it can't find the code because in terminal it can.
Ah ok! Here's what the log says
do shell script "cd ~/Documents;python -d -c PictoText.py"
You reach the command line from applescript with
do shell script "your command"
R
You can also just use the Run Shell Script action instead of going through AppleScript to get there.
Yeah so when I run the code in Atom or do "python /Users/maanavmodi/Documents/PicToText.py" in Terminal my helloworld.txt changes based off the screenshot I did in Automator,
Are you getting the helloworld.txt file written as expected when running the Python script in the Automator Run Shell Script action?
No I don't believe it is even running the code in the Shell Script. I keep getting errors as seen above.
I can dispute what you believe about tilde with this one line in a Run Shell Script action using bash as the shell selection:
echo ~ &> ~/Desktop/foo.txt
Things must changed. I had a problem when working with files when writing a script in 10.4, Tiger.
R
Well I'm thinking about just sticking with Shell Script. I'm just so new to automator. I really just need to know what to enter.
I think I'm sticking to Shell Script. But if you can get it to work with applescripts that would also work!
Yeah i put #!/usr/bin/python as my first line and everything it still isn't working. It's not even telling me any error reasons just error.
