I wrote a simple script (copied below) that increases the frequency of a repeatable task. The script works fine, but it is not available when I first open OmniFocus on my Mac, it is only available after I open the Console window. I can close the console window and then script still remains available.
Any idea what I should change to avoid having to open the console?
(() => {
var action = new PlugIn.Action(function(selection) {
const task = selection.tasks[0];
const oldRuleString = task.repetitionRule.ruleString;
const repetitionMethod = task.repetitionRule.method;
var newRuleString = "";
if (oldRuleString.indexOf("INTERVAL") > -1) {
const indexOfLastEqual = oldRuleString.lastIndexOf('=');
const oldInterval = oldRuleString.substring(indexOfLastEqual + 1);
const newInterval = Math.floor(oldInterval*0.9);
newRuleString = oldRuleString.replace(oldInterval, newInterval);
}
else {
newRuleString = "FREQ=HOURLY;INTERVAL=2"
}
const newRule = new Task.RepetitionRule(newRuleString, repetitionMethod);
task.repetitionRule = newRule;
task.markComplete();
});
action.validate = function(selection){
// Only works if there is a single repeatable task selected
return (selection.tasks.length == 1) && selection.tasks[0].repetitionRule;
};
return action;
})();
I can reproduce that behaviour. I found that, changing the right side of this conjunction…
(selection.tasks.length == 1) && selection.tasks[0].repetitionRule;
to
selection.tasks.some(x => null !== x.repetitionRule);
solves the problem.
In English, that predicate will return true in case there is some task whose repetitionRule property is not null.
P.S.: On a side note, you are missing manifest comment. Perhaps, it is present on your local copy.

Thanks!
That does work, I made the change to work with multiple tasks as well to avoid the short circuiting entirely.
I’m including the simple manifest in this case as well.

You’re welcome.
What’s this .all method ? Where it is documented ?
Sorry, I wanted to change some to something that would check the condition for all selected tasked, assume all would work, but I really meant to have every.
