Update the VSCode ExtendScript Debugger
This is an essential tool.
Too many issues to mention here - and that's just on a PC. It doesn't work at all on ARMx64

firstLineIndent can’t be set to zero
Create a text object, type some text, keep it selected and run the script:
activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0].paragraphAttributes.firstLineIndent = 20;
alert(activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0].paragraphAttributes.firstLineIndent);activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0].paragraphAttributes.firstLineIndent = 0;
alert(activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0].paragraphAttributes.firstLineIndent);You have two alerts saying 20, while the second one should show and actually set the first line indent value to 0 — and it does not.

More notifiers for live effects
Ai provides a live effect notifier that triggers when an object is scaled, but not when it’s moved. Same problem with rotating — the absence of these does not allow to recalculate effects properly, like one when an object with a shadow is rotated, and a user wants to rotate the shadow with the object (there is a quite popular request about this one already — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32468149-effects-do-not-rotate-drop-shadow-or-scale-e-g)

Do something.
At the very least, please return the correct cause of the error as to what caused the error.createOutline (),
Move () for each objectEtc., this error of the title is occurring too much during loop processing with for or while.
I've come to hate Illustrator anymore.
Please give the correct information to this error.
I want to deal with it.This error has been the same since at least Illustrator CC 2014.
I thought that the frequency of errors occurred in Illustrator CC 2017 was considerably…22 votesThe team has made fixes related to this problem.
Many script commands that were causing this error now won’t trigger it. Two commands though, Last Filter and Apply Last Filter would still give error because they are not exposed on UI as well.

ExportOptionsJPEG both resolution and quality
We can export a JPEG using ExportOptionsJPEG() — but it allows to set only quality, not a resolution.
We can use ImageCaptureOptions() instead to set a resolution — but it won’t allow to set a quality, because seems to be designed for PNG (and substituting a format to JPG gives questionable results).
We need to be able to export JPEG images, controlling both quality and resolution, without using app.doScript() trick — it fails on Cyrillic folder names.

ファイル名に#が付いた配置画像のファイルパスをapplescriptで得ようとすると問題あり
例えばファイル名「ABC#123.psd」とした画像を配置し、
選択したうえでtell application "Adobe Illustrator"
get file path of selection
end tellを実行するとリザルトが
file "○○○:○○○:ABC"
となり、#とそれ以降が無くなっている。
正常ならば
file "○○○:○○○:ABC#123.psd"
となるはず。ファイル名に限らず、パス内に#が入っているとダメ。
cs6、cc2018、cc2019では問題ない。
cc2020(24.1.3)(24.2.1)(24.3.0)cc2021(25.2.3)パブリックベータは問題あり。macmini2018 macOS 10.14.6

.duplicate() does not update selection, crashing Illustrator
selection[0].duplicate()
// redraw()
alert(selection.length)when running this script in Illustrator, you will see that both the original selection plus its duplicate will be selected, but the alert will display 1. Running this script in debug shows that selection only contains one object despite .duplicate() being used. This causes a corruption(?) issue where in reality there are now two objects selected but selection only shows one to be selected unless you do redraw(). This discrepancy will cause Illustrator to crash when trying to set the selection (in specific circumstances) on another line after the .duplicate().
In other situations, whether one or…

Illustrator 25.2 missing scriptability Info.plist entry
Illustrator's Info.plist file no longer has an entry for

Dimension / Fraction script not rotating text properly
After installing the Illustrator 25.1 update, some of the features of the dimension / fraction script are not rotating text properly. Some of the options should rotate the height measurement 90º; it remains horizontal with no rotation.

24.3 causes my extension to crash illustrator
Hi,
I've noticed that my extension Khronos Maker have started to crash Illustrator after updating to 24.3. I'm not sure what's causing it and hope to get some help to identify where the problem is.
In terms of code, what's causing the crash is the sequence of following:
myDocument.textFrames.add();
myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
myLayer.contents = graphic;app.undo()
//and then running the code above again after the undo causes a crash
myDocument.textFrames.add();
myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
myLayer.contents = graphic;This is strange since hitting cntrl + Z (windows) instead of the script, no crash. And in version 24.2.3 everything works fine.…

I tried to create a file or folder object with a slash (colon) in its name in Illustrator CC2020, but I couldn't.
Also, I was not able to get the file object from PlacedItem.
The same thing happens with AppleScript.In Photoshop CC2020 and InDesign CC2020,I was able to create.

Iterating through large collections is very slow (non linear).
Whenever I have a need to iterate through a large collection (such as pageItems) the iteration is very very slow, and the larger the collection is the more slower it gets. I would expect this to be a linear behavior, but it's not. If a collection's size doubles, it takes more than double the time to iterate through it.
