AppleScript Error

OmniFocus OmniFocus for Mac
#1

I have an AppleScript that I run twice a day and have been doing for quite a while now, it is based on a script by Colter Reed.

Recently, possibly tied to one of the updates the scripts does not complete. I can capture the error, it is

/Users/Mac/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~ScriptEditor2/Documents/OmniFocusDailyMaintenance.scpt: execution error: OmniFocus got an error: AppleEvent timed out. (-1712)

This seems to be a generic error for an unspecified error so I was hoping for some help.

The script works, it works when run directly from within AppleScript and it works when run from LaunchControl and it works some of the time when scheduled.

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

Regards, Ian.

Could you share the script itself? Or at least a link to the one you based it on? It would be helpful for debugging to see where the problem is :)
