Script Debugger Scripts

Scripts and clippings for use when working in Script Debugger.

Although not needed, the shortcut keys I use to execute these via Keyboard Maestro or Alfred are included in case you're interested

Contents

• Duplicate Tab F7

  • Duplicates the front tab, useful for making edits without breaking what is already written.

• Handler Tester F6

  • This creates a second script for unit testing handlers within a script.

  • Result looks something like this:

    tell application "Script Debugger"
    tell document "Kevin's Library"
       waitForSafariToLoad()
     end tell
    end tell

• Insert Dynamic Handler Description

  • Insert a handler description at the beginning of the handler currently selected. The description will inserted by creating a Script Debugger clipping dynamically with the handler's name and parameters.

  • Check out the demo below.

    

• Open Used Script Libraries ⌃⌥O

  • Open the script libraries that are currently in use in the front script.

• Run Front Script hyperkeyR  🌎

  • Execute the frontmost script globally, I use this constantly for testing scripts in other applications.

• Toggle Minimal View ⌘⌥⇧M

  • Hides/Shows the toolbar, sidebar, and logging panel.

• My Clippings

  • Custom clippings I've made over the years. To use them save the .txt files into ~/Library/Application Support/Script Debugger 7/Clippings

File saving

• Duplicate for GitHub

  • This duplicates the front script in its current file location as a .applescript file with unix style line endings so it is readable on GitHub.

• Save As Text Script ⌃S

  • Prompts for a location to save a file as a text script with unix line endings for readability on GitHub.

• Save a Copy of Front Script as Text ⌃S

  • Same concept as the Save As Text Script and Duplicate for GitHub but uses the command line to make sure a copy of the front script is made. This is my favorite of the 3 for now because it works more consistently and makes saving .applescript files for these github posts way quicker
