Pasted this in a new script document. Compiled, switched to Debugging, tried to step in.
————
script foo
property y : 5
to test(x)
return x
end test
end script
property parent : foo
test(y) --> 5

Exact same behavior in
–> Script Debugger 7.0.7 (7A72)
–> Mac OS 10.11.6 (15G22010)
This is an AppleScript crash. You’ve created a circular script object parent relationship and AppleScript does not defend against this. This will crash in the Script Editor as well.
Dang. OK. I was going to say it happened after relaunching.
Funny thing is that script came directly from a tutorial on MacScripter on using Script Objects.
It’s like the 6th sample down.
script foo
property y : 5
to test(x)
return x
end test
end script
property parent : foo
test(y) --> 5
I wonder how it’s supposed to look.
(While I’m at it does anyone know a good source for a tutorial on using script objects that’s not a crashy as the one on MacScripter?)
