Hi and good day,
After upgrading the macOS to 14.6 Safari has become inaccessible for AppleScript - (for copying the Name of YouTube page to BBEdit, by Chris @ccstone)
The only setting I can see which is activated is for JavaScript:
”Allow JavaScript from Apple Events”,
But how to prepare Safari for AppleScript?
It maybe has to do with granting Full Disk Access to the KM / Applescript, but no such warning has yet popped up.

So far no progress, what I did:
/okn
Hmm... Okay toggle the settings for Keyboard Maestro in the security prefs off/on a couple of times.
Nope - unfortunately, and I toggled both KM items several times with a reboot in between.
Maybe the debug can help?
Hot to use the debug.
/okn
Hey Omar,
Run this in the Script Editor.app or Script Debugger (if you have it).
Make sure the front page has loaded a valid URL first.
If you get back an URL then something else is amiss.

Import this, make sure it's activated, and run it.

Have you given full disk access to both the Keyboard Maestro Editor and the Keyboard Maestro Engine?
Have you given full disk access to BBEdit?
Have you given Keyboard Maestro permission to control BBEdit?
Run this to find out:
Execute AppleScript Test.kmmacros (1.9 KB)

Hi Chris,
With JavaScript the correct url of Safari Window is provided!
/okn
What do you get when running the AppleScript?
-Chris
With the AppleScript a new BBEdit document is created!
The reason for the AppleScript not working was that those scripts rely on the Satimage.osax.
”Apple in their infinite wisdom decided to scrag osaxen as of Mojave.” (Chris)
So when Apple has a durable solution for this, only temporary solutions will be possible...

One of those temporary solutions is from Late Night Software (of Script Debugger fame). See here:
Use Satimage scripting additions on Catalina and Mojave
It works well.
