This is my code. It can activate layers. Maybe it can help you.

```auto
    await ActiveLayer()
    async function ActiveLayer() {

        let cl = await app.activeDocument.activeLayers[0];

        if (cl == undefined) {
            let layers = await require("photoshop").app.activeDocument.layers;
            await require("photoshop").core.executeAsModal(async () => {
                try {

                    await require("photoshop").action.batchPlay([{
                        "_obj": "select",
                        "_target": [{
                            "_ref": "layer",
                            "_id": layers[0]._id
                        }],
                        "_isCommand": true
                    }, ], {
                        "synchronousExecution": false
                    });
                } catch (e) {
                    console.error(e);
                }
            }, {
                commandName: "Test"
            });
        }
    }

```
