[F-Script-talk] Unable to use F-Script Anywhere

[Peter J. H. <hph...@ju...>]

Hi,

I'd have liked to make Preview.app somewhat scriptable.

I downloaded the most recent F-Script binary but it turns out that I  
am unable to inject F-Script into any application but itself (i.e. F- 
Script Anywhere).

I invariably get the following message:

F-Script Anywhere was unable to install itself in the selected  
application (process ID 492), because F-Script Anywhere must be  
installed in a Cocoa application running as the current user.

You may be attempting to install in a setuid application, which is not  
supported.

This is a bit cryptic.

Preview.app, Mail and all the others shown in the list of running  
applications certainly are Cocoa apps.
They are all launched from my user account and run under my user name.

Furthermore, what is a setuid application?

I suspected a conflict with input managers, removed them and rebooted  
the machine.

No avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

[F-Script-talk] Unable to use F-Script Anywhere

[Wesley M. <wj...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I'm attempting to learn to use F-Script for use as a development tool
and to present my findings at Melbourne CocoaHeads[1]. However I can't
seem to get F-Script Anywhere to work. I'm having the same trouble
that Peter Hartmann posted about.

I'm using the current stable distribution[2] from the F-Script
homepage. From what I've read[3] it should just work in Leopard. I'm
using a week only Mac Pro with 10.5.4. Running F-Script Anywhere for
the first time prompted for my admin password, installed the framework
successfully (in ~/Library/Frameworks). When I attempt to inject into
a process I get the following message:

F-Script Anywhere was unable to install itself in the selected
application (process ID 278), because F-Script Anywhere must be
installed in a Cocoa application running as the current user.
You may be attempting to install in a setuid application, which is not
supported.
The application may have crashed; restart it if needed.

The application in question is just the developer sample Sketch. Any
help would be most appreciated.

Regards,
Wes

Hi Wesley,

Here is a workaround posted by Peter J.Hartmann:

Launch the app from the terminal using:
sudo /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/F-Script\ Anywhere

And here is a workaround provided by Nicholas Riley:

At least for the time being, you can work around any code signing  
issues by changing the permissions on the F-Script Anywhere binary  
(not the bundle).  This process is deprecated but still works in 10.5.

% cd /path/to/F-Script\ Anywhere.app/Contents/MacOS
% ls -l F-Script\ Anywhere
-rwxr-xr-x  1 nicholas  nicholas   579K Oct 12  2007 F-Script Anywhere*
% sudo chmod g+s F-Script\ Anywhere
% sudo chgrp procmod F-Script\ Anywhere
% ls -l F-Script\ Anywhere
-rwxr-sr-x  1 nicholas  procmod   579K Oct 12  2007 F-Script Anywhere*

Then quit and restart F-Script Anywhere if it was running.

In last resort, Nicholas also notes that waving a dead chicken over  
the keychain and rebooting repeatedly sometimes help!

Lets us know if one of these workarounds work for you.

This is interesting. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5 with F-Script Anywhere
1.3.1 to inject into Bee Docs' Timeline 3D. Every time that I try to
install FSA into Timeline, the process fails and I receive the
following message in the Console:

[0x0-0x1e01e].net.sabi.FScriptAnywhereApp[254] libMatch: for
architecture i386 object:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
malformed object (unknown load command 9)

[0x0-0x1e01e].net.sabi.FScriptAnywhereApp[254] libMatch: for
architecture ppc7400 object:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
malformed object (unknown load command 8)

I note that F-Script Anywhere works as expected with every other application.

Any thoughts?

Larry,

I got the same problem when trying to inject into TimeLine: it does  
not work. I tried both with the F-Script 1.3.5 framework and the F- 
Script 2.0 alpha framework.

I believe the messages you got in the console are not related to this  
problem, but merely comes from the way FSA looks for currently running  
Cocoa apps to refresh its apps list.

I cc Nicholas, who might have some ideas about why we can't inject  
into Timeline...

Best,

Philippe

[Nicholas R. <nj...@ui...>]

Hi folks,

Unfortunately I'm extremely busy until the end of next week, but will
look at it thereafter if I have a minute.  Please feel free to remind
me if I forget.

As Philippe said, the errors in the console just have to do with
application matching (and in the next version of FSA, whenever I get
around to it, this rather complex and fragile matching mechanism will
be gone, as pretty much every app can be treated as a Cocoa app these
days.)

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

It works well for me (Mac OS X 10.5 Intel, F-Script Anywhere 1.3.1).   
What platform are you running on ? Which version of F-Script Anywhere ?

Re: [F-Script-talk] Unable to use F-Script Anywhere

[Peter J. H. <hph...@ju...>]

Philippe,

OS 10.5.3 PPC (Dual G4 867 MHZ) with current F-Script binary  
distribution, i.e. Script Anywhere 1.3.1.

Thanks for any pointers to troubleshoot this situation.
What might possibly interfere?
If I had access to the source I could try to run it in the debugger,  
but so I am at my wit's end.
I suspect that the error message is bogus somehow, i.e. an error  
message originally intended for a different error.

This, BTW, are the system.log messages I get right after launching the  
app and trying to inject into an application:

[F-Script-talk] Odd solution (was Unable to use F-Script Anywhere)

[Peter J. H. <hph...@ju...>]

Philippe,

I finally managed to use F-Script Anywhere successfully.
The solution, however, is odd: I launch the app from the terminal using

sudo /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/F-Script\ Anywhere

Why is this? Why is it, that for other users there seems no need to do.

I am running it from an Admin-Account.
F-Script Anywhere therefore is running as root, whereas all the target  
apps are running under my admin log-in name.
Both F-Script Anywhere and the target apps have read-write-access from  
my admin account and the admin group.

What might be happening.
Repairing access privileges using Disk Utility made no difference.

Thanks again,

Peter

Re: [F-Script-talk] Odd solution (was Unable to use F-Script Anywhere)

[Nathan S. <nst...@ma...>]

Maybe the F-Script Anywhere application was installed as root.  Using  
get info in the finder (command-I) may shed some light on the  
problem.  You can also experiment with the unix 'open' command which  
is like double clicking on an app.

i.e. try:

open /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app
sudo open /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app

if neither of these work, something is wonky with the bundle.   If  
only the second one works, something is wonky with the permissions on  
the bundle.

hope that is helpful...

Thanks for your reply!

The F-Script Anywhere application was installed by me from my admin  
account.
I just trashed the app and reinstalled it from the FScriptBin-20080516  
distribution from Philippes site. I took care to use the version for  
OS 10.5.
No change. (I am on 10.5.4 currently.)

Permissions on the app are:
- my current account: read-write
- staff and everyone: read only

or

drwxr-xr-x when doing ls -l from my current admin account

I previously had added admin read-write, with no change.

Now I downloaded FSA once again from Robert Chin's blog at

http://osiris.laya.com/blog/?p=24

Same story when launched from the Finder and from the Terminal (both  
proposed options), except the error message is different:

F-Script Anywhere was unable to install itself in the selected  
application (process ID 61117), because an error of type -134217726  
occurred.

The FSA from the binary distro, however, returns:

F-Script Anywhere was unable to install itself in the selected  
application (process ID 61117), because F-Script Anywhere must be  
installed in a Cocoa application running as the current user.

You may be attempting to install in a setuid application, which is not  
supported.

The most interesting thing is that my previously proposed solution  
works only with the app from Philippe's binary distribution and NOT  
with the FSA downloaded from Robert Chin's blog. So there are clearly  
two different versions labeled 1.3.1.

Both fail - even after reinstalling the app from the freshly extracted  
binary distribution.
The app launches of course but F-Script injection fails.

This is all very odd. I would like to try the source but the source  
for v. 1.3.1 does not seem to be available.

Something is rotten here. What is going on?

Thanks for any pointers for troubleshooting this matter.

Thanks again,

Peter
