Applescript: when you click the menu button via gui script

Question

I'm trying to make applescript for an application called F.lux, which clicks on the “Disable for an hour” menu item, as shown in the screenshot below:

The path to the element is shown in the screenshot below:

Here is my code:

tell application "System Events" tell process "Flux" click (menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2) click menu item "Disable for an hour" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 end tell end tell 

Everything compiles fine, however I keep getting the error message below when I try to run the script:

error "System events received an error: I can not get menu 1 of menu line 1 in menu line 2 of the" Flux "process. Invalid index." number -1719 from the menu 1 line menu item 1 line of the menu 2 of the process "Flow"

Can someone determine where I am wrong?

Answer 1

This worked for me, but after the first click command, there is a delay of about 5 seconds.

 tell application "System Events" to tell process "Flux" tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 click click menu item "Disable for an hour" of menu 1 end tell end tell 

A ignoring application responses is to use ignoring application responses and terminate system events after the click command:

 ignoring application responses tell application "System Events" to tell process "Flux" click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 end tell end ignoring do shell script "killall System\\ Events" delay 0.1 tell application "System Events" to tell process "Flux" tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 click menu item "Disable for an hour" of menu 1 end tell end tell
