openApp('iTerm') -> [error] App.open failed: iTerm not found

Asked by Юрий Аполлов

macOS High Sierra, 10.13.5 (17F77)

Neigher do work 'iTerm2', 'iTerm.app', '/Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2'.
At the same time 'Google Chrome' and 'iTunes' work just fine.

BUT!

If I run iTerm beforehand, than it would be raised or launched if it had no windows, so this behavior is persistent only if there's no iTerm process running.
Same thing goes for Calendar suddenly.

Just tested on my macOS 10.13.5 using latest nightly 1.1.3

openApp("calendar")
openApp("Calendar")

and

openApp("iterm")
openApp("iTerm")

all are working.

Strange, but simple `openApp("iTerm")`, without any more symbols, doesn't work for some reason for me.

May be a language problem.

Switch your Mac to system language english and try again.

I switched language to English, rebuilt the app, but no success. Still the same error...
The strange thing is that if I have iTerm running with no windows, but present among launched applications (Cmd+Tab), then it launches just fine...
