illustrator action script error

[Ragav@july2020]

Hi Guys,

Thew below code doesn't load the action into the illustrator. Could anyone help me to resolve this.

addUsedColors()

function addUsedColors() {
    if (app.documents.length = 0) {
        return;
    }
    var ActionSet = "colors"
    var Action1Name = "add used colors"

    var ActionString = '/version 3\n/name [ 6\n' + Hexit(ActionSet) + '\n]\n/isOpen 0\n/actionCount 1\n/action-1 {\n /name [ 15\n'+ Hexit(Action1Name) + '\n ]\n /keyIndex 0\n /colorIndex 0\n /isOpen 1\n /eventCount 1\n /event-1 {\n /useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0\n /internalName (ai_plugin_swatches)\n /localizedName [ 8\n 5377617463686573\n ]\n /isOpen 0\n /isOn 1\n /hasDialog 0\n /parameterCount 2\n /parameter-1 {\n /key 1835363957\n /showInPalette 4294967295\n /type (enumerated)\n /name [ 15\n 416464205573656420436f6c6f7273\n ]\n /value 9\n }\n /parameter-2 {\n /key 1634495605\n /showInPalette 4294967295\n /type (boolean)\n /value 1\n }\n }\n}';

    createAction(ActionString, ActionSet);
    ActionString = null;
    app.doScript(Action1Name, ActionSet, false);
    app.unloadAction(ActionSet, "");

    function createAction(str, act) {
        var f = new File("~/Desktop" + act + '.aia');
        f.open('w');
        f.write(str);
        f.close();
        app.loadAction(f);
        f.remove();
    }

    function Hexit(str) {
        var hex = '';
        for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
            hex += '' + str.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
        }
        return hex;
    }
}

HI Raghav,

I have tried your script and it works perfectly fine without any error in Illustrator CC 2021.

Could you please tell us which version of Illustrator are using to run this script. 

[Ragav@july2020]

CC19 &20. Its load the action? bue it my version it shows error.

[Charu Rajput]

Yes, it loads the action and sucessfully add the swatches too. Let me do testing for CC 2020. I can't do testing in CC 2019 as it will not be available in CC app. I will update you after testing in CC 2020

[Charu Rajput]

Working perfectly in CC 2020 as well.

How are you trying to execute the script?

[Ragav@july2020]

Just load the script through script option from the menu...

[Charu Rajput]

It is perfectly fine from scripts option too. Please attach your ai sample file. It may be some other issue. There is no issue in the script. Or try some other action whether it is working or not.
