2 Terminals open on OsX Mojave about cdto

[gingerbeardman]

To resolve the 2 window thing (a problem in High Sierra as well as Mojave)

I now use https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal (Lite version)

Confirming this still exists on 10.14.4 (18E226)

Hey thanks for letting us know, that's great!

[dogatekin]

I have the same problem. I discovered that this does not happen if you close all your terminal windows by using ⌘W.

Hi. +1 with the same problem. @jbtule can we help with fixes? (send log, anything...)

[grenappels]

+1 I also have this problem!

[jensrutschmann]

I believe it happens because of this error:

Since sending application [sess=100007 pid=98033 uid:501,501,501 g:20,20 pV:396619] is not permitted to send this AppleEvent to this process, returning an errAEEventNotPermitted reply.

I see this in the event log / console every time I click the cdto icon in Finder.

Also see https://trac.cyberduck.io/ticket/10475#comment:3

If you build your app with the 10.14 SDK, the NSAppleEventsUsageDescription key is required. If it is not provided, trying to send an AppleEvent to another, running app will always return error errAEEventNotPermitted (-1743). The key is only optional when using older SDKs.

The issue only occurs when you quit Terminal using ⌘Q. If you dont actually quit the application, it should still work.

I have the same issue in Mac OS 10.14.3.

If terminal is not "active" (open or running without any windows), cd to works perfectly.

However, I always use ⌘Q and two windows are annoying me. Is there any perspective to fix this issue? I can help you @jbtule testing if you want to.

Same here with Mac OS 10.14.3. I confirm that cdto creates that second window only when Terminal has been completely closed beforehand (not running in background). To be clear, one window opens at the default directory (~ for me) and the second one opens wherever cdto was executed from.

Enable this setting

defaults write name.tuley.jay.cd-to cdto-close-default-window -bool true

And use v3.1 and cd to will now attempt to close the 2nd window.
