Quite fed up with Apple constantly breaking scriptability but browser is something that you can’t not update, because of security reasons. Because the syntax changes are so new, it’s harder to find existing threads for solutions now.
I meant to have Safari find a specific tab and close it. I would only ever have one page of that domain open at a time, and the window itself would be minimized. Suddenly this script has stopped working and it fails at row 5, highlighting the expression “tabs where its name is tabName”, result “error “Safari got an error: Can’t make missing value into type document.” number -1700 from missing value to document”.
set tabName to "MacScripter"
tell application "Safari"
if it is running then
tell (windows where its document is not missing value)
set _tabs to tabs where its name is tabName
repeat with ndx1 in _tabs
repeat with ndx2 in ndx1
close ndx2
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end if
end tell
“MacScripter” there just for testing. Some other methods that I came across now seem to close the entire window including whatever other tabs there was regardless of talking about tabs instead of windows, and if several windows are open, it will close the frontmost window with its tabs even if the tab that I was trying to close was in a completely different window! :o
What might currently be the functional approach for doing this?
