Rule works manually but not automatically: "Attempted to run
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2026 5:03 amHi everyone,
I’m running into a strange issue where one of my Hazel rules has stopped triggering on its own.
I have a rule watching my "Work" folder (stored in iCloud) that renames and tags PDFs. If I click "Run Rules Now," it works perfectly. If I use the Rule Preview, I get a green checkmark saying the rule matches. However, when I drop a new file into the folder, Hazel just sits there and does nothing.
I checked the logs and I'm seeing this error repeated:
[Error] Attempted to run worker on undeployed folder: /Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Work
I’m on macOS 15.1 (Sequoia) and Hazel 6.1.1. I've already tried toggling Full Disk Access off and back on again, but it didn't help.
Has anyone else seen this "undeployed folder" error before? Any tips on how to get it to start watching automatically again?
Thanks!
