Running AE script with noui

Hi

I am trying to automate After effects to run a script which suppose to run with `noui` however when I am running the command I can see the after effects in the task manager but the script does not change anything. I looks like the AE is stuck in the background. when I am running the same script through the Extended Toolkit (GUI)  the script run flawlessly.

the command "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\AfterFX.exe"  "C:\Users\dell\aonx\Dynamic App Promo\app_promo.aep" -noui  -r "c:\\Users\\dell\\Documents\\Adobe Scripts\\change_text.jsx"

What I am doing wrong?

hi Mathias,

it seems that it is working OK with out the GUI.

I have noticed that without the noui the AE is opening the Toolkit Fonts sync window.

are there any logs where I can find additional information?

Does it work without the -noui parameter?

if your script does things like executing menu commands, you will need the ui (since without a UI there is no menu).

Yes, it is working without noui! But when using noui, it is running in the background, and closing in the backgroud!.No video is rendered!
