javascript-automation

问题 I know that you can tell Chrome or Safari to do JavaScript (or write entirely in JS... à la JXA) but whilst answering another question, I got curious... Is there a way to arbitrarily execute an inline JavaScript statement inside an AppleScript (without tell ing another process)? So far I've only used something like this (in an AppleScript): do shell script "osascript -l JavaScript -e '\"" & myVar & "\".trim()'" But that seems such a silly workaround 回答1: If you want to write JavaScript, then

问题 where can I find JXA documentation with all available classes, functions and parameters? After so far found just random code samples and short tutorials. 回答1: The most official source of documentation is the release notes: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/InterapplicationCommunication/RN-JavaScriptForAutomation/Articles/Introduction.html The WWDC 2014 presentation is also an authoritative source of information: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/306 回答2:

问题 JXA, with its built-in ObjC bridge, exposes enumeration and constants from the Foundation framework automatically via the $ object; e.g.: $.NSUTF8StringEncoding // -> 4 However, there are also useful CFString constants in lower-level APIs that aren't automatically imported, namely the kUTType* constants in CoreServices that define frequently-used UTI values, such as kUTTypeHTML for UTI "public.html" . While you can import them with ObjC.import('CoreServices') , their string value isn't

问题 In AppleScript it’s possible to get the the POSIX path of the folder the current script is located in using this line: POSIX path of ((path to me as text) & "::") Example result: /Users/aaron/Git/test/ What’s the JavaScript equivalent? 回答1: Here's a way [NOTE: I NO LONGER RECOMMEND THIS METHOD. SEE EDIT, BELOW] : app = Application.currentApplication(); app.includeStandardAdditions = true; path = app.pathTo(this); app.doShellScript('dirname \'' + path + '\'') + '/'; note the single quotes

问题 I'm trying to click on button "Free" to download application in iTunes. I'm using Javascript for Automation to open iTunes application page: itunes = Application('iTunes'); itunes.activate(); console.log( itunes.name() ); console.log( itunes.version() ); delay(1) appUrl = "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8"; win = itunes.openLocation(appUrl); The script opens iBook page. How to find and click button "Free"? How to list all elements on open page? Thank you for any help.

问题 In a Mac mail rule, I am trying to run a javascript instead of an applescript. This has been asked in Mail Rules using JavaScript for Automation instead of AppleScript but the answer is not working for me! I have tried to simplify the code as much as I can. So, the following applescript works fine: on perform mail action with messages theMessages say "running!" end perform mail action with messages but the equivalent javascript is not working. function performMailActionWithMessages(messages)

问题 I'm using JXA for automating a process using Numbers app. What I need is to select a range of cells to apply width, but JXA doesn't allow me to get them. According to apple documentation I only need to use make or push the created object inside of array, but any ones work. This is my code and the Automator error: Option 1: var Numbers = Application('Numbers'); Numbers.Range({name: 'A2:A20'}).make(); // -> Error: Can't make or move that element into that container Option 2: var Numbers =

问题 I'm having a hard time extracting presentationNotes from a keynote presentation using JXA (Javascript for osx) I don't want to use applescript. There is way more to this script than extracting notes. It seems rather simple. However when I get the presentationNotes its in an RichText object that doesn't seem to have anyway to get normal text. So I figured I'd open up textEditor and write them out to it. Well I can't figure out how to do that. var app = Application('Keynote') document = app

问题 I'm trying to list all the methods of a JXA object. I've tried several methods that work with JavaScript in the browser, but none have worked: >> Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Application('Finder').selection()[0]); => ["__private__"] >> >> JSON.stringify(Application('Finder').selection()[0]) => undefined >> >> console.dir(Application('Finder').selection()[0]) !! Error on line 1: TypeError: console.dir is not a function. (In 'console.dir(Application('Finder').selection()[0])', 'console.dir' is
