Product:Developer Tools (Instruments) Product Version:6.1 (56160)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When using a UIAutomation script in Instruments to automate an extension, the script doesn't run. The status always stays on 'Script is stopped'.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Instruments and select a keyboard extension hosted by the application of your choice that requires text input
2. Select the 'Automation' template
3. Write a custom script or use the ui-auto-monkey script (https://github.com/jonathanpenn/ui-auto-monkey)
4. Hit the record button

Expected Results:
The script should, as on every usual application, be executed. The extension should be automated according to the script.

Actual Results:
The script isn't run. The extension isn't automated.

Version:
Instruments: Version 6.1 (56160)
Xcode: Version 6.1 (6A1052d)
iOS: 8.1

Notes:


Configuration:
I'm doing this on Yosemite 10.10 but I'm assuming that this is reproducible on any version
