Get path to applescript stored on iCloud

Question

I wrote a shell script which calls an applescript to do some work. The applescript is in iCloud, so I'm manually writing the path to the document storage location...

 osascript ~/Library/Mobile\\ Documents/com~apple~ScriptEditor2/Documents/safari_get_tab_url.scpt

This is pretty ugly and looks fragile. I'm wonder if there is a cleaner way to get the path to this applescript file?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but how about this:

---

path to me                                                                      
return POSIX path of the result

Answer 2

It's not really that fragile, providing the following is true:

• The document will always be called the same and won't be renamed.
• The Bundle ID (com~apple~ScriptEditor2) will not change thus changing the path to the file.
• iCloud must remain enabled on the account.

Since it's only the first one you'd have to worry about, it seems perfectly fine to do just what you're saying, since a normal path would have the same problem anyway (normal = without any form of linking).
