Hi all!
In part of a longer script I have an if/else statement, whos else-part is suppose to make inactive an active VCA in a template. The If/else statement works fine and it finds the active VCA that is suppose to be made inactive. However, I get the error message "Could not find menu item: Track->Make Inactive" at random points of the script.
I have tried all the scripts I could find on this forum, tried the make inactive macro, converted to script - even doing a simple menu click on the Menu item Make Inactive with a waiting time after the VCA has been selected. Still get the same error message.
Could this be a bug or am I missing something?
Right now, one part of the else statement (they all look alike) looks like this:
sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
names: ["GTRVCA"],
});
sf.wait({
intervalMs: 500,
});
sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
menuPath: ["Track","Make Inactive"],
});
Would love some help from you geniouses!
All the best,
Gabriel

There's a chance that Pro Tools hasn't updated its menu items at the point in the script where you are.
You can trick Pro Tools into updating the menu items by simulating a keystroke. Find some keystroke you can safely send that doesn't change what you're doing. I often use "arrow left" because it just centers the view on the left side of the selection.sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'left' });- GGabriel Lundh @Gabriel_Lundh
