load_bridge_support_file 'Terminal.bridgesupport' #load the bridge support file

new_tab = terminal.classForScriptingClass("tab").alloc #create a new tab instance
terminal.windows.first.tabs.addObject(new_tab) #add the tab to the first window


--> RuntimeError: NSInvalidArgumentException: *** -[SBElementArray addObject:]: can't add an object that already exists.

Inject something into a tab:

# scripting into a tab:
terminal.windows.first.tabs.first.setSelected true
terminal.performSelector( :'doScript:in:', withObject:'echo hello', withObject:terminal.windows.first)

# open a new window (but not a new tab :( )
terminal.performSelector( :'doScript:in:', withObject:'echo hello', withObject:nil)

Maybe merbist knows, I'd really like to figure how to open a tab...

Thanks Rob!

Hacking with macruby is brutal and awesome.

No problem! If you're interested checkout my Mynu gem, I recently expanded it with some basic terminal support:
