Applescript Dialog Toolkit "disallowed"

[Zax]

Hello,

When trying to display an Applescript alert built with Dialog Toolkit Plus 1.1.3 (or 1.1.2), I have an alert telling me "A scripting error has occured. User interaction disallowed."

My script works fine when launched from the script editor but I have this error when I launch it from BBedit 15.1.2.

I'm using Sequoia 15.1.1. Is it a security problem?

In System Settings, try adding BBEdit to Privacy & Security > Automation.

Thank you for your reply.

BBEdit has acces to Automation in Finder and System Events

I just added BBEdit to Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access but I still have the same error. It's a very basic error dialog with a single "OK" button (not the well known MacOS security alert). In fact, I don't know what is raising this alert, MacOS or BBEdit.

This error is thrown by Dialog Toolkit's code when an error is returned by a call to AppleScript-Objc AEInteractWithUser():
"Error -1713 in '/Applications/BBEdit.app/': User interaction disallowed".

This error (errAENoUserInteraction = -1713, /* no user interaction is allowed */)
is probably due to some sandbox permission restriction.

In conclusion Dialog Toolkit might not be compatible with BBEdit.

For an alternative solution you could check SwiftDialog: https://github.com/swiftDialog/swiftDialog

Thank you, I'll try with SwiftDialog.

I used Dialog Toolkit with an old iTunes and it worked fine (though its syntax wasn't very clear).
