Tools->OS Shell doesn't work in macOS
« on: November 13, 2024, 02:06:13 PM »
My OS is macOS Sequoia 15.1.
My device is MBP with Apply M1 Pro.

Thanks for the help.

This is probably a permissions problem.

Open a terminal and try the following command:

osascript /Applications/SlickEditPro2023.app/Contents/MacOS/TerminalPath.applescript

Apple has a lot of permissions restrictions.

Make sure the terminalPath.applescript file exists. You may have to search for it. Should be in Contents/macOS. Looks like osascript is getting found.

Some older applications or plugins may need to run in x86 compatibility mode.
Also Update Command Line Tools:
Open Terminal and run:
xcode-select --install

as for permissions, go to System Preferences > Security and privacy > Privacy
In Full Disk Access, Files and Folders and Accessibility, add the application if it’s not already listed. Make sure that Terminal and any other shell/IDE you use have proper permissions

There is no terminalPath.applescript file.

It looks like terminalPath.applescript is missing from the arm installers. Probably been broken for a while.

You can place the attached file in Contents/MacOS to fix this problem
