“No user interaction allowed” When running AppleScript in python

Question

I have the applescript which will displays menu list and allow user to select menu items etc. It runs fine by itself. And now I try to run it in python. I get the No user i

Answer 1

My issue was an app with LSBackgroundOnly = YES set attempting to run an AppleScript that displays UI, such as display dialog ...

Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"

AppleScript.scpt: execution error: No user interaction allowed. (-1713)

Using tell application "Finder" ... or etc. works, as shown in the other answer.

Or, remove the LSBackgroundOnly key to enable UI AppleScripts without telling a different Application.

LSUIElement presents a similar mode - no dock icon, no menu bar, etc. - but DOES allow UI AppleScripts to be launched.
