Describe the bug
I created a TB widget to run a script every second which uses BTT's scripting API (update_touch_bar_widget).

Once I pasted in the code below from the BBT documentation, I am now receiving the "Shared Secret" pop-up. The problem is that every time I enter my Shared Secret into the pop-up, it reappears on loop.

tell application "BetterTouchTool"

update_touch_bar_widget "9990CE09-9820-4D67-9C52-8BABAB263056" text "newButtonText" icon_path "~/Desktop/005-ShoppingBasket@2x.png" background_color "255,100,100,255"

end tell

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
Touch Bar

Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro 2016
  • macOS version: 10.14.5
  • BetterTouchTool version: 3.065

Additional information (e.g. StackTraces, related issues, screenshots, workarounds, etc.):
Workaround:
Reboot my machine and quickly delete the update_touch_bar_widget code.

Is there any other solution?

In general it makes sense to include the shared_secret variable in your script like this:

tell application "BetterTouchTool"

update_touch_bar_widget "9990CE09-9820-4D67-9C52-8BABAB263056" text "newButtonText" icon_path "~/Desktop/005-ShoppingBasket@2x.png" background_color "255,100,100,255" shared_secret "YourSecret"

end tell

Are you sure you entered the correct secret?
