Hazel does not find new folders

Recently Hazel stopped working for new folders I add to the folder list. Whenever I add a folder it appears as usual in Hazels settings, but when I want to run the rules, Hazels log says

Code: Select all: HazelHelper[483] Cannot find folder with id: 16777220-11996056

with different IDs for different folders.

For the folders I set up a while ago, the rules execute as expected, but every new folder i tried had the same problem. And I never renamed, moved or did anything else with the folders I added.

I'm out for ideas other than do a completely new install, but if that doesn't solve the problem, I would lose the now working folders, too. Any suggestions?

Please email support as I did have another use with a similar problem and I need more diagnostics to help track this down.

Sorry, I already uninstalled and reinstalled Hazel and that fixed the problem for me.

I am having a similar issue with a network drive. Even once the network drive is reconnected, it still says it cannot find it. Here is what I see in my logs...

Try removing the folder from Hazel and re-adding it.

Having the same issue and removing and reinstalling the folder changed nothing.
The process in my case is also killing Finder each time.
System log is reporting
2/16/16 1:16:13.709 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.Finder[15578]) Service exited due to signal: Terminated: 15

2/16/16 1:16:14.935 PM Finder[15614]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_MEMORYSTATUS] add: "Operation not supported" - 0x2d

So I removed the embedded applescript that made a change to the file's comments
This time the rule ran, but hazel worker still received an abort event and still caused Finder to respawn

I suspect there is something deeper going on and probably not the same problem. Can you post the logs showing the abort of hazelworker along with about 5-10 lines before and after the event?

I too am getting this error.

Everything was working fine, but now all of a sudden all my watched folders are now producing this:

Code: Select all: 2017-01-13 15:27:22.514 HazelHelper[659] Cannot find folder with id: 16777223-47287

If I un-pause a watched folder the same error message is logged.

That error indicates that you shuffled something around on your system. Did you try removing the folder and then re-adding it?
