Shell Script on M1 Mac/Monterey

Last edited by pluralog on Thu Nov 04, 2021 2:09 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Hello everybody,

after transferring from an intel based mac on Catalina to an M1 with Monterey, I have problems with one Hazel Rule including a shell script. The script ocrs a PNG after renaming it.

Code: Select all: Rename with pattern ... Run Shell Script embedded script: tesseract "$1" "$1" -l deu+eng PDF

The match works perfectly fine, the renaming works perfectly fine, the shell script errors.

The Log tells me:

Code: Select all: Error processing shell script on file /Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png. Shellscript exited with non-successful status code: 1

Running the shell command by hand works perfectly fine too.
I ran

Code: Select all: "$1" > textfile.txt

, as a script. It gave back the full path "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png". Typing in

Code: Select all: tesseract "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png" "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png" -l deu+eng PDF

into terminal worked as planned and created a ocred PDF of the Screenshot.

So I guess the problem might has to do with user rights? But hazel and terminal have full disc access.

Would be glad if you can help.
Best regards

Try using a full path for 'tesseract' and see if that works.

Thanks.

Code: Select all: tesseract "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/$1" "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/$1" -l deu+eng PDF

Does not change anything. "Shellscript exited with non-successful status code: 127".

Running the shell command by hand works perfectly fine.
I ran

Code: Select all: echo "$1" > textfile.txt

as a Hazel script. It gave back the full path "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png". Typing in

Code: Select all: tesseract "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png" "/Users/name/Documents/Screenshots/screenshot.png" -l deu+eng PDF

into terminal worked as planned and created a ocred PDF of the Screenshot.

I updated my old intel mac to Monterey and the script still works fine there. But I can't see any difference to my new M1.

Meant the full path for the tesseract program, wherever you have that installed.

Yes. Problem solved.
Thank you for your super fast help!

Code: Select all: /opt/homebrew/bin/tesseract "$1" "$1" -l deu+eng PDF

This did it for me.

Had to find the path in terminal.

Code: Select all: which tesseract

helped.
