I’ve an Applescript script that I run as a batch in opposition to a photograph enhancing app (Seize One). It’s auto-generated by one other app and creates sensible collections out of a database of key phrases. It’s fairly lengthy and over time turns into longer and longer as a result of extra key phrases are added infrequently. In the mean time it is about 50k strains and 5MB lengthy. It is fairly gradual to run (a number of hours), however that is one other matter (in any case I run it in a single day just a few instances per yr). I have been operating it with out issues since a few years.
The script is mainly an unrolled loop of about 3.600 iterations, every one does mainly the identical issues over completely different knowledge. It has grown fairly a bit lately as a result of I added just a few strains to compute estimated completion time. Now it appears it by no means completes, as a result of at a sure level (roughly 2/3 of the script, not all the time on the similar level) just a few unusual error messages are printed on the console (an excerpt right here):
Catalog 2024-11-23T00:57:01.192162Capture One received an error: Can’t make doc into kind integer.4-1700
make
group, Seize One received an error: Can’t make progress whole models into kind textual content., title, -1700
Catalog 2024-11-23T00:57:01.192162
«class prdt», Seize One received an error: Can’t make make into kind textual content., form, -1700
group
and shortly after a segmentation fault happens. I imagine there’s some kind of reminiscence corruption, so the console output is meaningless. Inspecting the block of code the place the script crashes exhibits no points, and if I run the identical script once more the crash would possibly occur a bit earlier or later, so I the code is just not related.
The script is run by command line with osascript
.
Is there any limitation to the lenght of an Applescript? Concepts? Workarounds? I anticipate that splitting the script or resuming from the purpose it stopped is just not a simple choice for me, for a variety of causes associated to Seize One APIs.
Thanks.
PS I’ve mentioned I do not suppose code is related, anyway that is an iteration:
attempt
set progress textual content to "Importing: Workflow/workflow:printed/workflow:printed#twitter-weekly"
inform _workflow_published to make assortment with properties {form:sensible album, title:"workflow:printed#twitter-weekly", guidelines:"<?xml model="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><MatchOperator Type="AND"><Situation Enabled="YES"><Key>IB_S_CONTENT_KEYWORDS</Key><Operator>6</Operator><Criterion>workflow:printed#twitter-weekly</Criterion></Situation></MatchOperator>"}
set progress accomplished models to 3670

set ___completionTime to "" & (___ct div 60) & " minutes to finish"
set ___eta to time string of ((present date) + ___ct)
set progress extra textual content to "3670 / 3671 — 99% " & ___completionTime & " " & ___eta & ""
