How to show specific automation lanes for a plug-in? (Same lanes and plug-in every time)

This will toggle the automation lane between band 1 gain and band 1 frequency on the first instance of ProQ-3 on the selected track:

const currentLane = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Track View selector").first.value.invalidate().value

var setLaneTo = (currentLane.includes("Gain"))? "Band 1 Frequency" : "Band 1 Gain"

sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Track View selector").first.popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["*FabFilter Pro-Q 3",setLaneTo],
    useWildcards: true,
});

@Chris_Shaw, is there a way to make a script that will show all used automation lanes for a selected track? That could be really helpful to me.

This is an awesome script! But it keeps breaking when it reaches the track at the bottom of the screen. It seems like it won't scroll the selected track into view. Any thought on what might be wrong?

Hi @Kitch and @Chris_Shaw!
I have used a modified version of this script that has worked perfectly until recently and I can't figure out what is wrong. I receive different error messages but mainly this one

ClickButtonAction requires UIElement
Couldn't get item #0 as the array's parent node wasn't found - sf.ui.app('com.avid.ProTools')..groups.whoseTitle.is('SFX 5.1A - Audio Track - volume Automation Lane').first.buttons (AxElementArrayIndexedItem)

It is very intermittent and the script always works the second time I run it on the same track or if the first Automation lane is already correct. I don't know if it can be a problem related to folder tracks, an invalidation problem or something Avid changed in Pro Tools?

Here is the whole script

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

const { pluginName, laneSelectorNames } = event.props;

//Set Scroll Into View Key Command
const scrollIntoView = () => sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "shift+ctrl+option+command+s" });
/* function scrollIntoView() {
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.popupMenuSelect({
        isRightClick: true,
        menuPath: ["Scroll Into View"],
    })
} */

function showautomationLaness() {
    //If any automation lane for selected tracks are hidden, show them.
    const showautomationLanesBtn = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.children.whoseTitle.is('Show/hide automation lanes').first;
    if (showautomationLanesBtn.value.invalidate().value !== "Selected") {
        showautomationLanesBtn.mouseClickElement({
            isShift: true,
            isOption: true,
        });
    } else {
        showautomationLanesBtn.mouseClickElement();
        showautomationLanesBtn.mouseClickElement({
            isShift: true,
            isOption: true,
        });
    }
}

function openAutomationLanes({ trackName, laneIndex, pluginName, laneSelectorName }) {
    //First automation lane on selected track
    let automationLane = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate().children.whoseTitle.endsWith("Automation Lane")
        .filter(f => f.title.invalidate().value.indexOf(trackName) >= 0);

    //Set the first automation lane to the first available plug-in parameter.
    automationLane[laneIndex].popupButtons.whoseTitle.is('Lane view selector').first.popupMenuSelect({
        menuSelector: items => items.find(item =>
            item.path[0].endsWith(pluginName) &&
            item.path[1] === laneSelectorName),
        onError: "Continue"
    });
}

/**
* @param {AxPtTrackHeader} track

function getAutomationLanes(track) {
    return sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.children.invalidate().whoseTitle.endsWith("Automation Lane").filter(f => f.title.value.indexOf(track.title.value) === 0);
}

function main() {
    //Get selected tracks
    const originalTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;
    const originalFirstTracks = [originalTracks[0]];

    //Invalidate Pro Tools main window.
    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

    //Scroll first selected track into view
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalFirstTracks });
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView();
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalTracks });

    //Show automation Lanes
    showautomationLaness();

    //Do for each track.
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders.slice().map(track => {

        //Select track
        track.trackSelect();

        //Scroll track into View
        //track.trackScrollToView();
        scrollIntoView();

        var removeLnBtn = getAutomationLanes(track);
        sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate().groups.whoseTitle.is(removeLnBtn[0].title.value).first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Remove this automation lane").first.elementClick();

        //Fetch track title
        //let selectedTrackTitle = track.title.invalidate().value;

        //Select lanes
        for (var i = 0; i < laneSelectorNames.length; i++) {

            openAutomationLanes({
                trackName: track.normalizedTrackName,
                laneIndex: i,
                pluginName,
                laneSelectorName: laneSelectorNames[i],
            });

            if (i != laneSelectorNames.length - 1) {
                var addLnBtn = getAutomationLanes(track)
                sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate().groups.whoseTitle.is(addLnBtn[0].title.value).first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Add automation lane below this one").first.elementClick();
            }
        }
    });

    //Restore previously selected tracks
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalFirstTracks });
    scrollIntoView();
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalTracks });
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.children.whoseTitle.is('Show/hide automation lanes').first.mouseClickElement({
        isShift: true,
        isOption: true,
    });
}

main(); 

Another question: Is there a way to check if the plugin exists as an insert before trying to select automation lanes? And skip that track if it doesn't exist.
