Exec and forget doesn't seem to work

[Aryan3212]

Describe the bug
I have a script where I reset all the windows to their dedicated workspaces and then on a keybind use exec and forget to run that script. That script runs fine in the shell. However, in Aerospace it doesn't work.

Here's my config

# Commands to run after login
after-login-command = [

]

after-startup-command = [
    # 'osascript -e "tell application \\"Visual Studio Code\\" to activate"',

I've tried setting execution environment still doesn't work. The command is alt-shift-i

Might be an issue with my particular system, I'll try on another machine

[Aryan3212]

This was in fact an issue with my system after giving aerospace full disk access it was able to do everything properly. Now I need to figure out whether it was bash or zsh which it didn't have access to as well as the script I was running. Don't want to give all permissions to aerospace.

Also, bonus tip: MacOS stores your applications in weird places, I wanted to open WezTerm using alt+enter turns out it is stored in /Applications/Wezterm.app and not /Users/<username>/Applications/Wezterm.app
