I was using my droplets this morning with no issue. Without changing anything whatsoever, I tried to use a droplet I've already used this morning and got the JavaScript code was missing error. I can verify that the Javascript hasn't moved nor has it been altered in any way. Photoshop hasn't been updated or closed between using this droplet successfully and it failing.

I'm on the 27.0.0 release using a Mac running Sonoma 14.5.

For seemingly no reason, Full Disk Access for Photoshop was disabled on my computer. Once I enabled it, that fixed the problem. Thank you all for your insight!

This error happens if Photoshop can't find the scripts for whatever reason. Are you possibly using cloud storage?

The files and the droplets are downloaded from our server and installed on each computer. We've had one person on our team run into this issue earlier this week and it started on my computer halfway through the morning today. I had been using Photoshop all morning, including these droplets, then it suddenly threw up this error, even though the scripts are still where they've always been. Nothing was restarted, closed or anything.

I've also tried rebuilding these actions. When I go to add the Javascript, it throws that error, even though I'm actually clicking on the very much present Javascript.

Are these moved from a different computer? And are your scripts installed properly? A droplet will be looking for a specific installed script by name.

I have an Apple M2 Max processor.

Any droplet we've built (which were working previously) with a Javascript has started throwing this error.

Are you mixing Intel and Apple Silicon here? Do new droplets work ok?
