passing arguments to hs.osascript.applescriptFromFile

[vtacquet]

Hi,

Is it possible to pass arguments to an existing Apple Script file with hs.osascript.applescriptFromFile? Otherwise I have to rewrite the file into hs.osascript.applescript([[ ]]) logic and maintain 2 sources.

Thank you Vincent

I ran into this same issue. A possible workaround is to pass the parameters via the Applescript command run script ... with parameters.

set myApplescriptFile to "Macintosh HD:Users:vincent:.hammerspoon:my-applescript.scpt" as alias
run script myApplescriptFile with parameters {"one", "two"}

So your hammerspoon script might be something like

source = [[
    set myApplescriptFile to "Macintosh HD:Users:vincent:.hammerspoon:my-applescript.scpt" as alias
    run script myApplescriptFile with parameters {"one", "two"}
]]
hs.osascript.applescript(source)
