Mail Search Tutorial: Build and Test the Application

In this chapter you’ll build and test Mail Search, an AppleScript Studio application that searches for specified text in messages in the Mac OS X Mail application.

This chapter assumes you have completed previous Mail Search tutorial chapters. By now, you should have completed constructing the application, including building the interface, connecting objects in the interface to handlers in the application, and writing the handlers. Chances are you built the application several times while creating the interface, and perhaps later as well.

You may have inserted handlers in Mail Search’s script file (Mail Search.applescript) as you worked on the tutorial, or you may have chosen to copy in the whole body of the script, either from “Appendix B” or by copying it (as recommended) from the Mail Search sample application distributed with AppleScript Studio. You should now be ready to build the application and run it. These steps are described in the following sections:

• “Build and Run Mail Search”

• “Check for Syntax Errors”
