whats the magic to run the tests?

[maxandersen]

I try and build this using mvn package but keep hitting:

com.tagtraum.japlscript.execution.JaplScriptException:
{
    NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Contacts;
    NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to Contacts.";
    NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to Contacts.";
    NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-1743";
    NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {36, 7}";
}

when running the build what "app" is it that I need to grant permissions?

You need to grant the process that is talking to Contacts the permission to do so. It's an OS level thing. Please check System Preferences/Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation and ensure that whatever process is trying this is listed to talk to Contacts. This may actually be your terminal app. Example screenshot below.

I should add that macOS typically pops up a dialog the first time an app attempts to "automate" another app and asks the user for permission.

For inspiration on how to give this permission programmatically, check out https://github.com/japlscript/japlcontact/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml#L31-L35

yes; the terminal pops up asking and i can see it in list of allowed permissions but i still get the error ;/

i tried manipulate tcc.db but i get operation not permitted even when using sudo.

I've tried to reproduce the issue, but wasn't able to. Works fine for me. What does your Automation pane look like? Is the permission actually turned ON?

The GitHub image probably has System Integrity Protection (SIP) disabled—but I am just guessing.

[hendriks73]

Is this still an issue, @maxandersen ?

If so, What does your Automation pane look like (screenshot?)? Is the permission actually turned ON?

If not, I'd like to close it.

[maxandersen]

Yes. It's on for the terminal. So it should work but doesn't :/

[hendriks73]

Re-reading my CI/CD code I realize that in addition to the permission to automate (i.e. send AppleScript events) the Contacts app, you also need a separate permission to access private data contained in the Contacts app (see for example this older article).

So you need to grant your terminal app access.

To do so, go to System Preferences, Privacy & Security, Contacts and then grant your terminal app the access rights.

Does this solve the issue, @maxandersen ?

Above is what I have ...and here is what I get when running mvn package

thus still no dice :/

[hendriks73]

Weird. Is it possible that somehow the process running the tests is not iTerm or a child of iTerm?
