focusTab suddenly does not work anymore

[roytouw]

I have made a very small script to open a specific tab in Chrome:

// Name: Open Chat GPT Chat
// Shortcut: cmd esc

focusTab("https://chat.openai.com/chat");

But all of a sudden this does no longer work, not via the shortcut and also not manually activating the script. Any ideas why this suddenly stopped working? I have the tab open in Chrome, just as before.

I'm running Chrome on a MacOS.

@roytouw you can find the source for "focusTab" in ~/.kit/lib/browser.js

You'll see it needs to fire off Applescript to be able to run.

This usually requires "System Events" permissions (on my phone, I think that's right...). Chrome may have updated and you might need to reset the permissions and make sure Kit.app can properly fire off Applescript to control other apps

Thank you, it appears to have been a permissions issue.
