Compiling embedded script (bug?)

[eN0ch]

Enter the following in AppleScript Editor:

Code: Select all

tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end
tell application "System Events"
   set visible of process "iPhoto" to false
end tell

Press 'compile'
Result: passed without errors

Enter exactly same in Hazel's script edit panel, and press compile button
Result:


Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Thanks.

Odd. I'll look into it. I suggest emailing support in case I am able to come up with a test build for you.

Ok, looking at it more closely, I think the bug is actually with AppleScript Editor. You have an extra "end". When you do:

Code: Select all

tell application BLAH to DO SOMETHING


That is a self contained line. Contrast with:

Code: Select all

tell application BLAH
   DO SOMETHING
end tell


Hazel picks it up because embedded scripts are, well, embedded within a handler so there's an extra "end" at the end, if you follow me. So, the fix here is to get rid of that first "end".

Thanks Paul. I'll see how that goes. But running in AS editor, it needed the "end" added for the hiding bit to work.
