Description

Hi guys!

Great work here!

When I try to open the iTerm and I have already an iTerm running (other windows open) it works flawlessly. The thing is that if the app is not running it won't launch.

This is my Terminal.sublime-settings.

{
  "terminal": "iTerm2-v3.sh",
  "parameters": ["--open-in-tab"]
}

Other things:

  • when I run the iTerm2-v3.sh directly from iTerm it works.
  • when I run the iTerm2-v3.sh directly from the default terminal it doesn't work.
  • I am running zsh as my default shell
➜  bash iTerm2-v3.sh 
41:47: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the iTerm2 v3.sh script. The error 'Expected end of line but found class name' suggests an AppleScript syntax issue. Check for OS version differences or missing AppleScript dictionary. Trace the script's logic for when iTerm2 is not running.
