I want to make a plugin with a button that triggers a quick action “remove background”, ChatGPT spits me this code, but it does not work. 

document.getElementById("remove-bg-btn").addEventListener("click", async () => {
try {
await executeAsModal(async () => {
await batchPlay([
{
"_obj": "invokeCommand",
"commandID": 3315,
"_isCommand": true
}
], {});
});
console.log("✅ Background removed successfully!");
} catch (error) {
console.error("❌ Error removing background:", error);
displayMessage("Failed to remove background: " + (error.message || "Unknown error"));
}
});

Correct answer Ciccillotto

This is what you are looking for uxp

 

async function remove_background_ok() {
    let result;
    let psAction = require("photoshop").action;

    let command = [
        {"_obj":"removeBackground"}

    
     
    ];
    result = await psAction.batchPlay(command, {});
}

async function remove_background() {
    await require("photoshop").core.executeAsModal(remove_background_ok, {"commandName": "Action Commands"});
}

await remove_background();

here you can download the .psjs file

What do you mean by plugin, UXP, javascript, cep? Have you thought about using scriptlistener, or creating an action and then converting it. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to help.
