As already talked about, the error is from focusing on iTerm’s present window, since there is not one (you closed it). I haven’t got iTerm, however the resolution for that will be to test if it has any home windows, and if not, make or open one. Additionally observe that Automator’s enter is a record.
If you happen to use Terminal’s do script command, it is going to open in a brand new window (until in any other case specified) so you do not have to take care of that. If all you’re utilizing Automator for is the script and arguments, an everyday AppleScript utility can be utilized, which is a bit more versatile. Since purposes could be command-dragged to the Finder window’s toolbar, you can too skip setting file sorts to open with the app, it might get the present choice.
The next is an everyday AppleScript droplet that information could be dropped onto, it may be double-clicked to simply ask for file objects, and clicking the toolbar icon (if positioned within the Finder window) will move the present choice to the app. It might even be known as from the command line, all of which is able to open a brand new Terminal window operating Helix (or Neovim). Save the script as an utility; I’m assuming that you’ve Helix (or Neovim) configured.
