I/O Error while executing the script

[Charu Rajput]

Hi all,

I am facing one issue in one of the Illustartor plugin where script gives an I/O Error when I try to use the following code, even though file exists at the specified path

$.evalFile("PathToAnotherScript")

This issues occur only at one machine not others. What could be the reason behind it?

One reason I can think of is the permission issue but the file exists inside the Documents folder. So I am not sure.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Edit: Sorry I didn't read your question properly. Ignore my comment below.

My first try would be to save the following script in the same folder (ie. PathToAnotherScript):

var PathToAnotherScript = "Your/path/to/another/script";
var folderContainingScript = new File($.fileName).parent;
$.writeln(folderContainingScript);
$.writeln(PathToAnotherScript);

and see if your PathToAnotherScript is right for this location.

Hi @m1b 

I haven't tried this but in my code of the plugin.

I check first if file exists and then evaluate.

So it is looks like

var _scriptFile = File('/Users/charu/Documents/Settings/Cache/js/Export.jsx');
if(_scriptFile.exists){
    $.evalFile(_scriptFile)
}

can you post the pathToAnotherScript? maybe there's a character in the folder name that's causing the issue

Hi @CarlosCanto 

So one of the plugin is calling extenal jsx script. Plugin exists inside the folder 

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/

and the external script exists at following location

/Users/charu/Documents/Settings/Cache/js/Export.jsx

Therefore pathToAnotherScript= "/Users/charu/Documents/Settings/Cache/js/Export.jsx"

Hi @m1b and @CarlosCanto 

It is resolved now, I ammsure the reason behind this error, but uninstalling and installing the plugins resolve this problem. So may be somehow scripts gets corrupted as suggested by @CarlosCanto 

Thanks for your help. 😊
