Apple scripting broken in 1.0.1.988.g8f17a348

[chmod666]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open AppleScript editor

2. Paste the following:

   tell application "Spotify"
   	playpause
   end tell

3. Script -> Run

Expected result:

Spotify toggles playing

Actual result:

error "The variable playpause is not defined."

Root cause:

Scripting definition file, Spotify.sdef, has been moved to the "applescript" subdirectory, but the path in Info.plist hasn't been updated.

Workaround:

Patch Spotify.app/Contents/Info.plist with:

51c51
<       <string>Spotify.sdef</string>
---
>       <string>applescript/Spotify.sdef</string>

Thanks so much for this. I've really missed Applescript support in Spotify.

I tried this solution... it worked for a few minutes.. and then broke again after reboot...

Once I tried to fix it with this suggestion, I had to make the adjustment, then I closed the app.  When I opening it again, this warning displayed.  I clicked allow and now it is good to go again.

Thanks for the workaround. It works for all commands, except "play track"

Example:

tell application "Spotify"
	play track "spotify:track:4JOj52PuNDT1qt8yVosxM5"
end tell

This is doing anything (whereas playpause is working as expected for example). Is that the case also for you ?

Thanks

I have the same problem with this patch working for all commands except play track

Bump!

I need this fixed as I use USBOverdrive on the Mac to configure buttons on my G930.

Thanks for the workaround.

For me, using Mac and Simplify app to show mini player, it is working with this workaround but I do not get any album art.

Any ideas?

I'm using Spotify Mac 1.0.2.1060

Same problem here!

Yup, same problem

This is still broken in 1.0.1.160.gc75ebdfd and the patch suggested by chmod666 does not fix the "play track" command.

Please, this needs to be fixed asap as third party tools rely on scripting abilities.
