notes-app not running in Emacs shell

Open borwick opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Hello! notes-app isn't running in my Emacs shell for some reason.

I am able to run notes-app directly in Terminal and get notes. (yay!)

I am not able to run notes-app in an Emacs shell.

I thought it might be permissions; for example, I noticed an entry in System > Privacy & Security > Automation > Terminal > Notes. I was able to create an entry in System > Privacy & Security > Automation > Emacs > Notes by running:

osascript -e 'tell application "Notes" to make new note'

This osascript command now works in Emacs's shell! But notes-app still doesn't work. It only returns exit code 1:

$ notes-app
bash-5.2$ echo $?
1
bash-5.2$
