How to run AppleScript file from sikuli: run("osascript some.applescript")

Asked by Chetan

is there a way to directly run .applescript file from sikuli
we are able to run script by passing string in runscript but we have an .applescript file say tests.applescript and would like to run it directly

any sample code would be appreciated

this works having the AppleScript text in the running script:

runScript (
"""
applescript
display dialog \"hello\"
"""
)

See: https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scripting.html#runScript (the second info runScript(snippet))

Internally we use osascript.
To run an Applescript file is not implemented, but you might use a call to osascript using the normal run("someCommand").

thanks. however we want to specific the file name and not put the code in string. is it possible to give the file name
example runScript (yxs_script)
reason:
the script can be long one

use
run("osascript yxs_script")

which runs the command osascript internally from a command line .

Can you help with this problem?
