A little Indigo script ...

Hello,

I want to log by script to Indigo. In Indigo 5, I was able to do so. It doesn't work anymore. Can you help me to troubleshoot my little script ? Here it is:

Code: Select all

property theTextToLog : ""

LogToIndigo("Test------------------------------------")


on LogToIndigo(theTextToLog)
   tell application "IndigoServer"
      log theTextToLog
   end tell
end LogToIndigo

First off, I am not an Applescript expert

However, I have just run your script on an Indigo Client Mac and on my server.
When I execute your script on the Client - it runs and nothing happens e.g. no error but at the same time no message in the log.

If I run the script on the Server - I get the dreaded -600 error: Application isn't running.

What exactly are you seeing happen?

Hi Jon ... Thanks for trying. I get an error -10810.

If you're running it from the script editor, it should also give some textual description of the error.

[MODERATOR NOTE] moved to the AppleScript forum.

A quick internet search revealed that this is likely that the Mac OS X process table is full. This can be alleviated by quitting some other applications.

Jay,

Your quick Google search revealed a process table problem ... but reading further, it concludes that it's not t a full process table problem. I have 32GB of RAM, so it's not a memory size problem neither.

I have to say that my "LogToIndigo" idler worked perfectly with Indigo 5. It stopped working with Indigo 6. I then stop using it. Now, I need it again. The Log function is included in IndigoServer's AppleScript library so I thought to give Indigo's forum a try. I understand that you are not an expert script designer, but since Indigo is scriptable, maybe someone out there can be of help.

Thanks for trying.

Hello autolog ... The Indigo client does not understand the Log command. Only IndigoServer can.

Can you give a little more background - where are you trying to run this script from?

It might be possible to do what you want using Python - it might be less problematic and there will be more people who can help.

Also what version of OSX are you using?

Regardless, the error you indicated above is from the process manager, which is not something Indigo can influence. The script as you wrote it should work fine - I can run it (when I'm not getting the well-known -600 error).

What happens if you change this line:

Code: Select all

   tell application "IndigoServer"

to:

Code: Select all

   tell application "YourHDName:Library:Application Support:Perceptive Automation:Indigo 6:IndigoServer.app"

where YourHDName is the name of your Mac's main hard drive?

Hey, can someone who's experiencing the -600 error try Matt's suggestion above? I wonder if that might solve that problem as well...

Still get the -600 error

Oh, well, was worth a try. I didn't actually expect it to work.

Thanks all for trying ... I will try with MacScripter forum.
