[solved] Re: Running .app on Mac OSX
Hi there,
your solution worked great, thanks! I actually needed to add a little extra
into it so that I waited until the right content had been written into the
file:
<target name="testRunMac" depends="compileTest">
<parallel>
<exec executable="open" spawn="no">
<arg line="${debugPlayer}" />
<arg line="'${testHarness.swf}'"/>
</exec>
<sequential>
<waitfor>
<available file="${ flashlog.location}"/>
</waitfor>
<waitfor>
<isfileselected file="${flashlog.location}">
<contains text="theTextIWant"/>
</isfileselected>
</waitfor>
</sequential>
</parallel>
</target>
Re the other responses I got - I tried reaching into the .app on the
terminal to launch the player, but unfortunately that didn't work.
Re thr other response, the only options for 'open' are -a to specify the
app, and -e to open the file in textEdit
Cheers all
PBH
