"Focus Window" script doesn't work

[alexilyaev]

Running "Focus Window" script does not show anything in the list. Debugging the script it seems that w.name !== "" is always false on my machine.

Here's an example logging all windows:

System

Is there an easy way to get the relevant system info using Script Kit for these bug reports?

macOS 14.2.1 (M1) Kit 2.3.0

[johnlindquist]

@alexilyaev If believe that happens when Kit.app doesn't have permissions for "Screen Recording". It sounds silly, but I'm pretty sure Screen Recording is needed to access the system API that can get the name of window

[alexilyaev]

Indeed that was the issue. I'm glad that it's a quick fix 😁

I wonder if a script could check the required permission and warn when it's not enabled?

Related issue regarding permissions https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit/issues/1420 Perhaps this permission should be added to the menu as well?
