Hazel is unable to look at my trash (which also means that App Sweep doesn't work):

When I start Hazel, I get these errors in its log ("DSS_Photos" is an external SSD):

Code: Select all

and every time Hazel tries to open the trash, I get these messages:

I am running Mac OS 12.3.1 on an M1 Mac mini.

Can you suggest a fix? I even tried stopping Hazel, deleting the .Trash folder (with `sudo`), and restarting Hazel to no avail.

Thanks!

You need to give Hazel Full Disk Access. Quit and launch Hazel. It should prompt you to do so. Please follow the directions from there.

Hazel already had Full Disk Access; I stopped it, deleted it from the list in System Preferences, and restarted Hazel. Hazel prompted me to add it to the Full Disk Access list and do a Quit-and-Restart - I did, but I'm still getting the same errors.

Can I give you more debugging info?

Thanks!

Can you run the following in Terminal and send me the output:

Code: Select all

   ls -ld ~/.Trash


Here it is; I saw that the directory had extended attributes, so I dumped them, too.

Code: Select all

david@office ~ > ls -ld@ ~/.Trash/
drwx------@ 2 david  staff  64 Apr  4 09:31 /Users/david/.Trash/
   com.apple.macl   72
david@office ~ > xattr -p -l -x com.apple.macl ~/.Trash

But the problem went away overnight - I deleted an application this morning and Hazel prompted me with the usual App Sweep dialog!

Odd. Keep an eye on it and let me know if it acts up again. It might help to check if there are ACLs on the file and remove those.

There was an ACL on the .Trash directory:

Code: Select all

david@office ~ > ls -led .Trash/
drwx------@ 6 david  staff  192 Apr  5 08:21 .Trash/
 0: group:everyone deny delete


I removed it with `sudo chmod -N .Trash` and I'll see how things go.

Thanks!
