At the risk of repeating myself on another Indesign forum…
Not so much jumping into the deep end but going swimming with cement flippers with UXP, I try to create an alert in InDesign .injs:
But not quite as friendly as I’d hoped.
I can get around it by writing a bespoke alert function as mentioned in this recipe here.
However… it says here that Since UXP v7.4, alert()
can only be invoked in plugin
via the featureFlags enableAlerts
. Update your Manifest v5 with the following:
so I’ve updated the manifest:
{
"id": "myUniqueId",
"name": "Hello Worldplugin",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "Description goes here",
"summary": "Summary goes here",
"host": {
"app": "XD",
"minVersion": "13.0"
},
"uiEntryPoints": [
{
"type": "menu",
"label": "Create Rectangle",
"commandId": "createRectangle"
}
],
"featureFlags": {
"enableAlerts": true
}
}
with just one line script:
alert("hello!");
based on the Developer Starter project - so ignore references to rectangles. But get the same error as above.
So what’s going on?
