Can't invoke the selector hazelContainsObject

Hi,

Seem to be getting Can't invoke the selector hazelContainsObject error message, perhaps since upgrading to 3.2.4. Can you suggest what might be the issue here?

I'm seeing the exact same problem. Hazel is outputting 20 errors every few seconds by trying to scan PDFs that don't match one of my rule's criteria. Turning it off is the only solution for me it seems. I deactivated the rule and it started happening with another rule. Log:

Im getting the same error across multiple rules. It seems to be having a lot of trouble with subfolders. These rules all worked for the last year and now they are not working. Basically a folder gets placed into a monitored folder and then the contents of that new placed folder are evaluated and then the contents are moved to another folder and then the now empty folder is eventually deleted from the monitored folder

I'm seeing the same thing. Rules that have worked flawlessly for years are now generating errors.
I've had to disable Hazel to avoid this.

There was a bug introduced in the last version when reading comments. I have a test build here. If you are interested, please email support and I'll send you a link.

Yes please as I've resorted to downgrading at the moment

how do I get the previous version?

I managed to find a copy here http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6322-hazel.html

I would be careful downloading from any site besides this one. If you email support, I can send you the link to the test version which so far has shown to fix the issue.

Can confirm test version works for me, so no longer using the old version.

Many thanks for quick resolution.
