Just save it as a service in automator without trying to run it there. When ran from finder it works perfectly.
This is great, thank you. It gives an error for me if you close (but do not quit) iTerm and run the script. But it works if a window is open or if the app has been quit.
My fork.
I try to fix the error, can you test it, and tell me is the bug is disappear?
Guys, is there a possibility to make it also drop down the iterm hotkey window when it's run? For me it really opens a new tab with that folder but iterm stays unrevealed and I have to drop it down on my own, with alt + space
Works! Thanks.
I had some trouble with this service not handling new window instances very gracefully; it would crash if iTerm was already open.
I've made some slight modifications here, that opens only one tab if iTerm wasn't running before, or otherwise makes a new tab if iTerm already has some running sessions.
Works! Thanks.
Sorry, comments in Gists does not received any notifications.
For those who still receiving errors(this script WFM for years till now, 10.13), follow the instruction in the descriptions, most importantly change "Service receives selected" drop downs to "Files or folders" in "Finder" so that my_file
variable would correctly set by right click on finder item.
+1 variable my_file is not defined
