I'm automating some stuff by sending javascript to the browser by running AppleScripts, which I trigger from various places such as voice commands or other productivity apps. The other browsers have option to enable this functionality usually in their top menu.

    askingforafriend Please specify exactly what the suggestion is and details of implementation for developers

        Run JavaScript in tab:

        Application("Safari").doJavaScript(
  "alert('example javascript')",
  { in: Application("Safari").windows[0].currentTab }
)
          13 days later

          Thank you. and the Applescript version would be

          tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "alert('example javascript')" in document 1
end tell

            Sorry if wrong place to ask but I came here looking for a way to get my watch.rb script working with Orion (which I made the default browser, monterey) for webdev. Is there another way to have the current Orion front window reload on change in project files? This is the part that does not work (I replaced "Safari" with "Orion" but of course its not that simple 🙂
            ` diff_hash.each do |df|
            puts "Detected change in #{df[0]}, refreshing"
            %x{osascript<<ENDGAME
            tell application "Orion"
            set windowList to every window
            repeat with aWindow in windowList
            set tabList to every tab of aWindow
            repeat with atab in tabList
            if (URL of atab contains "#{keyword}") then
            tell atab to do javascript "window.location.reload()"
            end if
            end repeat
            end repeat
            end tell
            ENDGAME

            }`

              roadie Yep wrong place 🙂 what you want is to post a new feature suggestion.

                  I knew it! - but also fixed it because Orion refreshes on F5 and it was trivial.
                  Feature does not cut it, because I want the refresh on any change inside the project dir which Orion does not have to take care of.

                  Here is the relevant part in the watch.rb script, which lives here : watch.rb

                  thank you for Kagi and Orion, I had almost given up hope.

                  ' %x{osascript<<ENDGAME
                  tell application "Orion"
                  activate
                  end tell
                  tell application "System Events" to keystroke "r" using {command down}
                  ENDGAME
                  }
                  end
                  end

                  sleep 1
                  end
                  `
