Can't recreate the Recording an Action example from the docs

[kritskiy]

I’m trying to follow the example from the Recording an Action section of references, copy-pasted their code into a command of the panel:

The action then recorder successfully however when I run it I’m getting an error message that the alertHandler isn’t found:

How is it supposed to work, what am I missing? Just in case permissions for host and plugin communications are set to true.

In your code, the function alertHandler is in a narrow scope, so you need to get it out to the top level.

There is a similar question on this page with sample code. It may be helpful.

Action calling UXP plugin functionality example

This is a sample plugin for action recording based on the React Starter template. The Demos.jsx part of the template would be replaced by this. Clicking the button will translate the active layer in the X direction by the amount of the number entered in the panel. [action-record-sample] The translate function can be recorded in Photoshop’s Actions panel as usual. [action-recording-sample2] I have detailed what is done in which part as a comment in the source code. Please take a look at it…

Amazing, thank you! absolutely missed the additional notes by thinking that would be mentioned in the example…
