| Classification: | Bug | Reproducible: | Always |
Summary:
iCal does not respond correctly to Applescript request for calendars if it is not launched. An empty list is returned.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure iCal is not running.
2. Copy the following single line into a blank Applescript Editor window.
tell application "iCal" to calendars
3. Press Run and view the Results pane.
Expected Results:
iCal launches and the Results pane shows a list of iCal's calendar properties.
Actual Results:
iCal launches and the Results pane shows an empty list.
Regression:
This test works as expected with iCal 4.
Notes:
The script works when iCal is running. It appears that iCal is not dealing with Applescript requests for calendar/event data in general when it is also being launched.
e.g.: When iCal is not running the following line.
tell application "iCal" to events of calendar 1
gives:
error "iCal got an error: Can’t get calendar 1. Invalid index." number -1719 from calendar 1
This test works as expected when iCal is running.
Running counter to this is the results of the following:
tell application "iCal" to windows
(which gives a result)
