Question

Liking a jsx file wwith

I'm currently trying to run some code to be executed in an illustrator file from my script.  I'll explain my scenario and what I'm trying to achieve.

I'm using illustrator cc 2019.

I have the extensions panel test from Adobe and in it there is the following file in CSXS/manifest.xml here I have my resource and script path like this:

                    <MainPath>./html/index.html</MainPath>

                    <ScriptPath>./jsx/core.jsx</ScriptPath>

Now in my index html file I put this:

    var csInterface = new CSInterface();

    csInterface.evalScript('app.documents.add();', evalScriptCallback());

in core.jsx file I put this call back:

    function evalScriptCallback(result)

    {

      alert('this is my test');

    }

This isn't working for me and nothing happens.  The expected result would be to have an alert that says "This is my test".

However when I put this function evalScriptCallback in my index.html file then it works.  I'm assuming the core.jsx file isn't linking but it's in the manifest.xml file that is my confusion. 

I also tried this:

removing the core.jsx from the manfiest and adding it in a jsx call back file like so:

    jsx.file("../jsx/citylocs.jsx", myFabCallBack);

Can anyone give me any direction?

Here it is along with my file structure.

Index.html

     ----- different htmls in the left side bar

     ---- myfile.html <--- this is the file I'm working from this is selected from index.html

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<script src="../js/CSInterface.js"></script>

<script>

      var csi = new CSInterface();

      csi.evalScript("myFreshCall()");

  }

</script>

<style type="text/css">

}

.serverInfo {

    resize: none;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

  <div id="dbs">

            <tr>

                <td><label for="result">Result:</label></td>

                <td><textarea id="result" name="result" class="result" readonly="readonly" ></textarea></td>

            </tr>

        </table>

    </div>

  </div>

</body>

</html>

The file core.jsx contains:

function evalScriptCallback()

{

  alert('this is my test');

}

Ok so when I put the evalScript

var csi = new CSInterface();

csi.evalScript("evalScriptCallback()");

In the main index.html file it works.  But when it's in a sub file like the myindex.html which is nested inside index.html it does not work.

Is there away to link it so it'll work?
