Truncated 1Password_Autosubmit.scpt?

Hi @starlir,

That file is an odd one in the sense that a sandboxed application, like the Mac App Store version of 1Password for Mac, can't write to that location without explicit authorisation from the user.

By renaming it you've essentially removed it's visibility from 1Password. I believe that if you were to open 1Password's preferences and switch to the Browser tab you would possibly find the Automatically submit logins after filling is disabled or that if you disable and then re-enable that you might be asked to save the 1Password_Autosubmit.scpt file in the ~/Library/Application Scripts/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper/ folder. I haven't quite nailed down 1Password's behaviour here as it changed recently.

What the file does is mimic pressing of the enter key and we do this because there isn't a reliable way to do so in JavaScript. We find the best way to tell a webpage that the user is trying to submit a login page is by simulating the enter key while focus is in one of the fields. Almost without exception this will result in the desired behaviour while trying to interact with buttons might lead to insanity in one of our poor developers. So it still serves a purpose for those that like the submit after filling. The file can be recreated, it's absence is tolerated by 1Password so hopefully it's just a one-off glitch. Please do keep us informed though :smile:

Hi @starlir,

It seems this can be a little... quirky. I completely quit 1Password for Mac using the keyboard shortcut ⌃⌘Q and then deleted the entire folder the 1Password_Autosubmit.scpt sits in. After re-launching 1Password, the first time I re-enabled the Automatically submit logins after filling option it re-created the 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper folder but didn't prompt me. I completely quit 1Password again, re-launched and re-enabled the option. This time it did prompt by opening a standard Open OS X dialog, asking to be pointed to that folder. Now I believe normally it should point to the right folder but as that's maybe not a given...

1. Open a Finder window and use the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G to open the Go to Folder window.
2. Paste in the following path ~/Library/Application Scripts/ and click the Go button.
3. Launch 1Password and attempt to re-enable Automatically submit logins after filling.
4. If an Open dialog doesn't appear quit 1Password using ⌃⌘Q to quit both 1Password and 1Password mini. Re-launch and try again.
5. If the Open dialog does appear and it's pointing to the 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper folder then simply click the Select Script Folder button.
6. If it is pointing somewhere else, drag and drop the 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper folder from the Finder window into the selector bar just to the left of the Search field, see the screenshot below for the part of the window I mean. This action causes the Open dialog to use that folder (sometimes quite a handy trick to know if you didn't already).

At this point you should have a brand new 1Password_Autosubmit.scpt and hopefully without the same problem. Please do keep us informed as to your progress and any observations you have :smile:

I have to confess, I can't think what or how it would have been damaged as it is - this is a new one to me but at least we got it resolved @starlir. Who knows, it might be one of those one in a million type scenarios or possibly a glitch in El Capitan. At least we have a record of it happening at least once in case others find the same thing. If you notice anything else please do let us know :smile:
