[1.1.0] App.focus Not working --- fixed 2015-05-09+

[Steen]

Run from IDE or terminal, App.focus('Some App') does not work.
Tried on Virtual machine and Pysical machine, no difference.

what version of OS X?

try this:

take care, that both apps are behind some other app (e.g. a Finder window):

Debug.on(3)
safari = App("Safari")
icon = App("Icon.app")
safari.focus()
icon.focus()

and paste the output + info wether the apps came to forground

Just tested on 10.7 and 10.10:
App.focus() does not work anymore.

Use open() instead as a workaround.

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

ok, fixed. I will trigger a new nightly upload.

still not working in Nightlybuild 2015_05_07_01:00nightly

debug says:
[debug] App.focus Safari [-1:Safari ()] #0
[debug] App.focus Icon.app [-1:Icon.app ()] #0
[debug] Sikulix: cleanUp: 0

and that looks like it works, with naming the app.
but my example does still not work.

yes

as mentioned in the title: --- fixed 2015-05-09+

uups, focus() indeed does not seem to work.

use open() instead.

- opens if not yet running
- focuses if running

... still some work to do here ;-)
