I’ve an Applescript script that I run as a batch towards a photograph modifying app (Seize One). It’s auto-generated by one other app and creates good 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 occasionally. In the meanwhile it is about 50k traces and 5MB lengthy. It is fairly sluggish to run (a number of hours), however that is one other matter (in any case I run it in a single day a couple of occasions per 12 months). I have been working it with out issues since a few years.
The script is principally an unrolled loop of about 3.600 iterations, every one does principally the identical issues over completely different information. It has grown fairly a bit not too long ago as a result of I added a couple of traces to compute estimated completion time. Now it appears it by no means completes, as a result of at a sure level (kind of 2/3 of the script, not all the time on the similar level) a couple of unusual error messages are printed on the console (an excerpt right here):
Catalog 2024-11-23T00:57:01.192162Capture One obtained an error: Can’t make doc into sort integer.4-1700
make
group, Seize One obtained an error: Can’t make progress complete models into sort textual content., title, -1700
Catalog 2024-11-23T00:57:01.192162
«class prdt», Seize One obtained an error: Can’t make make into sort textual content., type, -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 reveals no points, and if I run the identical script once more the crash may occur a bit earlier or later, so I the code shouldn’t be 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 shouldn’t be a simple choice for me, for numerous causes associated to Seize One APIs.
Thanks.
PS I’ve stated I do not assume code is related, anyway that is an iteration:
attempt
set progress textual content to "Importing: Workflow/workflow:revealed/workflow:revealed#twitter-weekly"
inform _workflow_published to make assortment with properties {type:good album, title:"workflow:revealed#twitter-weekly", guidelines:"IB_S_CONTENT_KEYWORDS 6 workflow:revealed#twitter-weekly "}
set progress accomplished models to 3670

set ___completionTime to "" & (___ct div 60) & " minutes to finish"
