OSAScriptErrorNumberKey = "-1708"
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 3:59 pm
Trying to create my first Hazel Rule. The plan:
1. Watch Downloads folder for new PDF files
2. If contents match 3 different options then
3. Run AppleScript to rename the file.
4. Move the file to another folder.
Steps 1 and 2 work correctly. The log matches the file based on kind and three content strings.
Step 3 AppleScript renames files with names like December 27, 2018.pdf to 2018-12-27.pdf
According to the log, the Hazel step 3 fails with OSAScriptErrorNumberKey = "-1708".
The AppleScript has the following handler:
The CheckName handler does the work of renaming the file. I've tested the handler manually using:
Both options above work correctly when manually running the script through Script Debugger.
If anyone has ideas about what to try next, I'd appreciate it!

The AppleScript has the following handler:
- Code: Select all
on hazelMatchFile(theFile, inputAttributes)
-- Add your logic here. Don't need the inputAttributes.
my CheckName(theFile)
-- ‘theFile’ is an alias to the file that matched.
-- ‘inputAttributes’ is an AppleScript list of the values of any attributes you told Hazel to pass in.
-- Be sure to return true or false (or optionally a record) to indicate whether the file passes this script.
return true
end hazelMatchFile
The CheckName handler does the work of renaming the file. I've tested the handler manually using:
- Code: Select all
(*
tell application "Finder"
set thisFile to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:myUserName:Downloads:December 27, 2018.pdf"
--my CheckName(thisFile)
my hazelMatchFile(thisFile, "")
end tell
*)
