execute javascript with apple script in INDD photoshop

[bastieneichenberger]

Hi all,

I try to execute a javascript file with applescript by this way:

-- works in indesign
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
    activate
    do script "Macintosh HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:extendscript-library.org:tests:test:fixtures:helper:log:test_log.jsx" language javascript
end tell

-- works in photoshop
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"
    (activate) & (do javascript file "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/extendscript-library.org/tests/test/fixtures/helper/log/test_log.jsx")
end tell

-- but why this script does't work
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"
    activate
    do script "Macintosh HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:extendscript-library.org:tests:test:fixtures:helper:log:test_log.jsx" language javascript
end tell

The test_log.jsx content just an alert : alert('test');

I don't understand why the syntax is different if I call Photoshop or Indesign.

I would like to do someting like this:

-- works in photoshop

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"

    (activate) & (do javascript file "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/extendscript-library.org/tests/test/fixtures/helper/log/test_log.jsx")

end tell

-- works in photoshop

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"

    (activate) & (do javascript file "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/extendscript-library.org/tests/test/fixtures/helper/log/test_log.jsx")

end tell

Thanks you for your help!

Have a nice day!

Hi all, I was continuing to search a best way and I found this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
    do script "Macintosh HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:extendscript-library.org:tests:test:fixtures:helper:log:test_log.jsx" with arguments {1, 2} language javascript
end tell

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"
    activate
    do javascript file "Macintosh HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:extendscript-library.org:tests:test:fixtures:helper:log:test_log.jsx" with arguments {1, 2}
end tell

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    activate
    do javascript file "Macintosh HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:extendscript-library.org:tests:test:fixtures:helper:log:test_log.jsx" with arguments {1, 2}
end tell
