I'm trying to emulate Xcode's ⌘-R keystroke in another editor (namely, Vim); I thought I would be able to do this with some shell scripting & applescript, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly:
open -a Xcode "MyProj.xcodeproj"
osascript -e 'tell app "Xcode"' -e 'build' -e 'launch' -e 'end tell'
The problem with this is it launches the app regardless of whether Xcode reports errors. Is there any way to fix this?
I use:
osascript -e 'tell application "Xcode"
activate
set targetProject to active workspace document
if (build targetProject) is equal to "Build succeeded" then
launch targetProject
end if
end tell'
Of course, the project has to already be open in Xcode for this to work. (I'd rather not hard code the current project into my script)
Unless you really want the Xcode GUI, you could just use xcodebuild instead of launching and scripting Xcode.
And for other TextMate users out there, a cobbled together.. improved version by mashing it together with the existing 'Open project in Xcode..' command:
PROJECT=$(ruby -- "${TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT}/bin/find_xcode_project.rb")
if [[ -f "${PROJECT}/project.pbxproj" ]]; then
open -a Xcode "${PROJECT}"
else
echo "Didn't find an Xcode project file."
echo "You may want to set TM_XCODE_PROJECT."
fi
osascript -e 'tell application "Xcode"
activate
set targetProject to project of active project document
if (build targetProject) is equal to "Build succeeded" then
launch targetProject
end if
end tell'
For Xcode 16.4 use this AppleScript:
tell application "Xcode"
activate
set targetProject to active workspace document
build targetProject
run targetProject
end tell
