rkamysz / adobe-node Goto Github PK

Hello! I'm trying to automate photoshop 20 on Mac os 10.14 , the photoshop opens, but the open promise never resolves.

Hey @rkamysz ,

First of all: Thanks for starting this nice library :) It's quite a niche thing, but exactly what we needed for our automatisation process which involves some Adobe products (Photoshop & Illustrator).

Unfortunately I'm currently stuck with a little problem: The promise which is returned from triggering the custom scripts never resolve, so the application hangs. The logic inside the script is executed, but it feels like the callback gets lost somewhere. Is there a way to check if the adobe-broadcast was called and the callback data was received correctly?

Strangely it worked on my local machine where I used Photoshop CS6. Our main server runs Photoshop CC 2019 and Illustrator CC 2019. It also didn't work with Illustrator CC 2020 on my local machine. So it looks like it has to do with the used version?

When I'm back in office (probably next Wednesday), I can give it a try with Photoshop CC 2019 on my local machine.

It seems good and I want to work with it but i cant run it ,

Hi, I have a problem here I am unable to open Adobe Indesign it gives an error saying broadcast is not a function.

Also if I do like this code below the app is launched

     app: {
       name: AdobeAppName.Photoshop,
       path: 'C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe InDesign 2020\\InDesign.exe',
       adobeScriptsPath: 'C:\\Users\\d-Evil\\scripts'
     },
     host: 'localhost',
     port: 5000
   });

but there is an error saying cannot open the file open_app.jsx, Adobe Indesign may not support the file-format.

Hi @rkamysz, I found your library and it looks really amazing !

I personally wrote an automation script a couple of days ago for Illustrator (basically opening each file of a folder, tracing the image to vector, resizing artboard and exporting it as a SVG) and thought I could make good use of your library to automate it a little bit more (which is to say : open Illustrator automatically, remove already exported images after each batch and maybe some more).

I tried it first using a refactored version of my custom script, but there's something that I didn't understand.

As a fallback I tried the example shown in the README, simplified to only open and close Adobe Photoshop, but it only gives this output :

Adobe Event Listener running at localhost:5000

There's clearly something running but my Photoshop never get opened, it's just stuck indefinitely.

I double checked the software paths, potential JS issues and everything looks correct.
Is there the need for another Adobe technology to run it as a server or something ?

Thanks :)

HI, I am very excited to start using this but I am struggling to get this working at all.

i keep getting messages saying
const sleep = (duration: number) => new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(resolve, duration) });
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ':'

and so on when simply running your example script with the latest versions
