osascript sandboxing under mojave? - TextMate

30 Jun 2018


      Hi,
Under Mojave, applescripts from Textmate  to R.app have broken.
I thought this would be fixed by adding TextMate and R.app to the apps allowed to control my computer 
    (prefs: security: privacy: accessibility)
But seems not. This repro script runs properly from terminal
osascript -e 'tell application "R" to cmd "2+2" '
But from textmate, the script below activates R.app, but doesn’t execute cmd in R…
Any thought?
This is the script of the TM command I use to send the selection to R.app
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# input is selection or document
rawText="`cat`"
curDir=''
if [[ ${#TM_DIRECTORY} -gt 0 ]]; then
    curDir="$TM_DIRECTORY"
fi
osascript -e 'on run(theCode)' \
    	  -e 'tell application "R" to activate' \
    	  -e 'if (item 2 of theCode) is not "" then tell application "R" to cmd "setwd('''" & (item 2 of theCode) & "''')"' \
    	  -e 'tell application "R" to cmd (item 1 of theCode)' \
    	  -e 'end run' -- "$rawText" "$curDir"
