I've been getting failed workflow errors from the automator script, so I installed and tried the command line. It also failed, with the following error report. (on Mac OS X 10.8.5, running python 2.7.6 installed by Mac Ports):

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I went and checked my console log, and found the following error which seems to be associated with the problem I reported above:

12/31/13 11:08:26.939 AM python[88805]: Initializer-based scripting additions are no longer supported. "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax" not loaded.

oops, closed by accident! sorry.

Thanks for the issue report. I'm getting back to maintaining ADS to BibDesk this month after a hiatus. I'll start by pulling together the other forks and seeing if this issue has already been fixed.

So this appears to have been a transient error. I just tried executing the script again on the same machine with the same ADS identifier, and today it worked. Strange.

And now the problem is back!?

@mmaclow The error you're seeing is because your BibDesk instance has not an opened bibliography file when you run adsbibdesk. The related console error is just the The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error. part. Could you try this developement version https://raw.github.com/RuiPereira/ads_bibdesk/work/adsbibdesk.py of the command line script and tell me if it works now? It should open a new blank bibliography if it finds none.

I’m closing this issue since it should be fixed by now; reopen it if there’s still an issue with ADS to BibDesk 3.2.
