Problems with adding objects to scriptable applications via scripting bridge

[i.script@…]

hi,

lately I've tried to get some exerience in scripting DEVONthink using the ScriptingBridge. This works overall very well. Only the "create a record with in" command crates headaches for me. The following code-snippet exemplifies the problem:

#!/usr/local/bin/macruby

framework  "Cocoa"
framework  "Foundation"
framework  "ScriptingBridge"

devon =  SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.devon-technologies.thinkpro2")

theGroup = devon.createLocation '/root/scripts/myscript', :in => '/'
theRecord =devon.classForScriptingClass("record").alloc.initWithProperties({'type'=>'text','plainText'=>"Hallo Welt!",'name' =>"helloworld"})
puts theRecord.description


#  Scripting Bridge does not actually create an object in the target application until you add the allocated and 
#  initialized object to an appropriate element array (SBElementArray), such as records in my example.

#  thats's the way it should be done, but its not working

puts devon.databases[0].records.insertObject(theRecord, :atIndex => 11)
#  or : puts devon.databases[0].records.addObject(theRecord)

theRecord.createRecordWithIn resultRecord

While working with this code snippet I've found out that:

1. if i use: "puts theRecord" instead of "puts theRecord.description" the script runs out of time

2. the attempt to instantiate a scripting object within DEVONthink creates this error:

/Users/stereocle/Documents/devonruby.rb:24:in `insertObject:atIndex:': NSGenericException: Apple event returned an error.  Event = 'core'\'crel'{ 'kocl':'DTrc', 'insh':'insl'{ 'kobj':'obj '{ 'want':'DTrc', 'from':'obj '{ 'want':'DTkb', 'from':'null'(), 'form':'indx', 'seld':1 }, 'form':'indx', 'seld':1 }, 'kpos':'befo' }, 'prdt':{ 'DTpl':'utxt'("Hallo Welt"), 'pnam':'utxt'("helloworld"), 'DTty':'utxt'("text") } } (RuntimeError)
Error info = {
    ErrorNumber = -10000;

Sorry about the so long reply. It doesn't seem to be a bug with MacRuby itself but more with the ScriptingBridge framework. You may want to report that problem to DEVONthink or Apple (for ScriptingBridge).
