OSA Script failing for JavaScript All the Sudden

If you look in the StandardAdditions.sdef.

1. Menubar menu: Windows -> Library
2. Double click on: StandardAdditions
3. Change the dropdown to Javascript.

You will see that many of the script command change to the camelHump syntax

app = Application.currentApplication()
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;

app.doShellScript('ls')

In my opinion, the best way to do it is by using Apple's own task scheduler: launchd, because you don't need to install third-party software. First, the theory: to run a script from the command line, you just run:

osascript /PATH/TO/YOUR/script.scpt

Knowing this, all you have to do is create a plist file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ with this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>air-mail-beta.job</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/bin/osascript</string>
        <string>/PATH/TO/YOUR/SCRIPT</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

The name of the plist file doesn't matter, but it should be in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/. Also, make sure to change /PATH/TO/YOUR/SCRIPT accordingly.

Finally, you just need to tell launchd that you want this script to always run. To do that, you just do:

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/NAME-OF-YOUR-PLIST.plist

and you're done! If it looks like the script didn't start, you can do this:

 launchctl start air-mail-beta.job

where air-mail-beta.job is the property under <key>label</key> that we've set in the plist file.

Finally, should you ever need to disable the script, don't forget to unload it with:

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/NAME-OF-YOUR-PLIST.plist

I know this solution is more technical, but trust me, that's a better way to deal with your issue. If you have any question, just ask!
