OS X Mavericks: Syntax error

[devsli]

Problem

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript
tell application 'Finder'
set desktop picture to POSIX file "/Users/sli/Pictures/FireWatch-WeatherDesk-Pack-master/normal.jpg"
end tell

% osascript ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript
17:18: syntax error: Expected expression, property or key form, etc. but found unknown token. (-2741)

Solution

Replace ' with "

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript | sed s/\'/\"/g                   
tell application "Finder"
set desktop picture to POSIX file "/Users/sli/Pictures/FireWatch-WeatherDesk-Pack-master/normal.jpg"
end tell

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript | sed s/\'/\"/g | osascript
% echo $?
0

You are late by minutes, friend!

A user just reported this on reddit and it is fixed with commit 47c9717
