[OS X TeX] macOS Monterey - broken BBEdit/Skim integration scripts

[Richard Seguin]

Michael,

I downloaded python3 from https://www.python.org <https://www.python.org/> , I made your suggested changes to the two .py files and then I got a new message that command line tools were missing, so I downloaded and installed the tools. (It was supposedly only about 150 MB in size, but it took well over 30 minutes to download them on my fiber line and install them — really slow.) Now the Typeset script works properly assuming that there are no errors in the .tex file.  However, if there is an error in the .tex file, instead of the scripts reporting my .tex error as usual, a dialogue box pops up with this message: "Error parsing the log file. It may not exist (parse_log.py)”. Did you have this problem as well? The Typeset script is essentially crippled if it can’t report .tex errors.

I also tried the "Open pdf” script and that works normally.

The error message is coming from typeset-lib.scpt:

> try
>        set shell_result to do shell script quoted form of (resource_path & "parse_log.py") & parse_options &  (quoted form of log_file)
> on error
> 		error "Error parsing the log file. It may not exist (parse_log.py)" number 5033
> end try

There is a unix executable in usr/bin called python3, although it’s only about 12 KB in size. I don’t know what this is — just a placeholder of sorts perhaps? I’m not sure if there used to be a file called python or python2 in that spot since I did not look before the upgrade to the operating system.

As an experiment, with BBEdit I temporarily changed both of these lines to "#!/usr/bin/python3” and I got beyond the original error message to yet another one.
