Bug: Newlines become Carriage Returns on Mac
On Mac this outputs a file with "test1^Mtest2^M"
f = new File([path]);
f.open("a");
f.writeln("test1");
f.writeln("test2");
f.close();it uses carriage returns which means things like tail -f [path] won't work. Workaround is to use the "BINARY" file encoding

25.1 Type Library is invalid
Can not create Illustrator.Application.
The CLSID value stored in the Windows registry and ScriptingSupport.aip is different.
It seems that you need to create an Application object with a new CLSID, but the 25.0 version ID is stored in the registry.

Applescript commands error on Ai v25.1.
Applescript: Execute Menu Command & select all on active artboard (the only ones I documented) Fail on Ai v25.1 (MacOS Catalina).
Seems certain AS commands have broke with the newest update.
Multiple AS errors occurred on two Macs, both were fixed by downgrading to v25.01.
Thanks.

VBScript Internal Script Execution Error in version 25.1
Running VBScripts from File > Other Scripts is not currently functional in the latest update- however the very same scripts work fine if the scripts are opened manually (and worked as expected from 'Other Scripts' in the previous version).
Please fix!
1 voteI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

When using a script to initiate an action, the action is skipping the alignment to artboard steps.
This worked perfect in earlier versions

alert() function is slicing the last word in the output window.
Somehow the last word of an alert message to Illustrator keeps getting sliced. Notice in my attached example how the last word of my alert string "messages." gets cut off.

Scripting: move selection to layer doesn't work if layer is not visible
When moving selected elements to a layer, if that layer's visibility is set to false, it reports that it cannot move elements to a locked layer. However, it's not locked, it's just not visible. I do this all the time by physically dragging to a layer that is not currently visible. I was able to work around it by setting visibility to true, moving the elements, then making it false again, but it seems like a bug.

`let` declarations not supported in .jsx files
Running this script:
let foo = "Foo";
const bar = "Bar";
alert(foo + bar);produces the following error:
Error 25: Expected: ;.
Line: 1
-> let foo = "Foo";However, replacing
letwithconstworks fine. According to this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/legacy-and-extend-script-engine.html), ES6 language features are ostensibly supported, but onlyvarandconstbindings seem to work.1 vote -

ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
We recently upgraded to CC 2019. version 23.0.6.
Vbscripts are now unable to execute. They fail on:
Set appRef = CreateObject('Illustrator.Application')
with the error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
This functionality is important to our workflow.

kAIXMLNameChangedNotifier behaviour change
The following code worked perfectly in 2015, 2015.1, 2017 but in 2018 it broke.
My notifier is created like so :
error = sAINotifier->AddNotifier(fPluginRef, kCinewarePluginName, kAIXMLNameChangedNotifier, &fUIDChangeNotifier);It is correctly triggered on the renaming of an art element. This then calls the following code :
ASErr ArtSelectionRenamedNotifier(AINotifierMessage message)
{
ASErr error = kNoErr;
fprintf(stderr,"ArtSelectionRenamedNotifier\n");
//First get the AiArtHandle
AIPluginGroupMessage myMessage = (AIPluginGroupMessage*)message;
fprintf(stderr,"ArtSelectionRenamedNotifier msg type[%s]\n",message->type);
//The relabelled art
AIArtHandle relabelledArt = myMessage->preEditArt;
fprintf(stderr,"ArtSelectionRenamedNotifier msg preEditArt[%p] is valid Art?[%s]\n",relabelledArt,sAIArt->ValidArt(relabelledArt, true)?"YES":"NO");
//Verify it has a UID
ai::UnicodeString relabelledArtUUID;
//The artUIDName will be empty if not yet made
if (relabelledArt)

update link to illustrator 2017 sdk on https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
The move from https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
to https://console.adobe.io/downloads/ai left behind a broken link to the 2017 sdk.
Easiest thing to do would be to update the 2017 sdk link on the old devnet page.1 voteWe are moving away from devnet to the Adobe io site. Moving forward that will the place to get all of Adobe SDK.
We also have an early access program for our plugin partners. You may join our prerelease site you will get SDK builds way before we release it on public facing pages.

Applescript convert to paths deletes image used as transparency mask
Since Illustrator 21.1.0 (okay before) there is an problem with Applescript command "convert to paths (every text frame of current document)"
If the text has an image as a transparency mask the script will delete the image. This does not happen if I do this manually within Illustrator. The problem still exists with the latest version of Illustrator.
