basil scripts fail to run if story editor is open

[trych]

If the story editor is open, basil scripts will fail to run.

The error happens in the setup stage, when currPage is getting defined. It occurs in line 990:

currPage = app.activeWindow.activePage;

'Object does not support property or method active page'. Apparently it is not sufficient in the previous check to see if currDoc.windows.length, but there needs to be an additional check, if activePage can be accessed.

So should we close it for the user?
http://yearbook.github.io/esdocs/#/InDesign/StoryWindow/close
Or just break if the returned value is instanceof StoryWindow?
http://yearbook.github.io/esdocs/#/InDesign/Application/activeWindow

The line is this one I guess https://github.com/basiljs/basil.js/blob/master/src/includes/environment.js#L161

No, we should not close it, I think we should interfere with the user's setup as little as possible. Surely there must be a way to retrieve the activePage from the frontmost LayoutWindow, even when there is a StoryWindow open?

Yes, that was the line IIRC.

@trych good luck! If it is too painful just use the less dirty workaround possible to fix the bug.

@trych What is the state of this? Can I assign you to it?
