  1. POGetting Safari document title/location with Scripting Bridge does not work in full-screen mode
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to get the URL and document title from the topmost Safari document/tab. I have an AppleScript and an objective-c version using Apple's Scripting Bridge framework.</p> <p>Both versions work fine for most web pages, however when I open a Youtube video in full-screen mode, the Scripting Bridge based version fails. The Apple Script works fine for "normal" <strong>and</strong> full-screen Safari windows.</p> <p><strong>Can anyone see what is wrong with the Scripting Bridge code below to cause it to fail for full-screen Safari windows?</strong></p> <p>Here the code (I omitted error checking for brevity):</p> <p><em>AppleScript:</em></p> <pre><code>tell application "Safari" # Give us some time to open video in full-screen mode delay 10 do JavaScript "document.title" in document 0 end tell </code></pre> <p><em>Scripting Bridge:</em></p> <pre><code>SafariApplication* safari = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.Safari"]; SBElementArray* windows = [safari windows]; SafariTab* currentTab = [[windows objectAtIndex: 0] currentTab]; // This fails when in full-screen mode: id result = [safari doJavaScript: @"document.title" in: currentTab]; NSLog(@"title: %@", result); </code></pre> <p><em>Scripting Bridge error</em> (with added line breaks):</p> <pre><code> Apple event returned an error. Event = 'sfri'\'dojs'{ '----':'utxt'("document.title"), 'dcnm':'obj '{ 'want':'prop', 'from':'obj '{ 'want':'cwin', 'from':'null'(), 'form':'indx', 'seld':1 }, 'form':'prop', 'seld':'cTab' } } Error info = { ErrorNumber = -1728; ErrorOffendingObject = &lt;SBObject @0x175c2de0: currentTab of SafariWindow 0 of application "Safari" (238)&gt;; } </code></pre> <p>I could not find details about the given error code. It complains about 'currentTab' which shows that the JavaScript event at least made it all the way to Safari. I assume that the current tab receives the event, but refuses to run the JS code, because it is in full-screen mode. However, why does this work for an AppleScript? Don't they use the same code path eventually?</p> <p>Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
