Status menu: Menu argument not being passed

[dannythunder]

I'm doing a status menu item that I'm going to use to open Rider with env. vars loaded (Rider has a problem with loading env. vars when starting it normal).

It should be simple, but I must be missing some obvious here.

This is my assumption after reading the docs:

• Scripts are read and executed as is (just like a normal script)
• To create a menu with clickable menu options you create a if/else where you echo your menu in if (depending on the if-statement)
• When clicking a menu option the script "re-runs" but with an argument set that corresponds to the output of the menu option.
• You then "catch" this argument and do whatever you want.

But the argument seem to be empty for me. I tried a bunch of stuff (just one example posted here)

My simple menu:

Platypus app

Platypus version

Found this issue, but it didn't help me much:

Status Menu variable not being sent to bash script #226

The script:

#!/bin/zsh

openRider="Öppna Rider"
quit="Avsluta"

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then

	echo $openRider
	echo $quit

else # else for now when testing

	#Open Finder if it works, just for testing
	open -R .

	# TODO Load external env vars.

        #open ~/Library/Application\ Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/Rider/ch-0/232.9921.83/Rider.app
fi

Bonus question

How do a get an alert? echo alert from documentation is not working for me (becomes a menu option with the "error text" if there is something wrong).
