Rule Matches But Action NOT Performed

Both ‘Rule → Preview Rule…’ and ‘Rule → Rule Status…’ indicate a match for my Rule ‘Rearrange’, but the Rule’s Action is NOT being performed or is being performed erratically as it evaluates the name of the file ‘+BrokerageStatement0531228353.pdf’; I turned on Debug and found this in the log:

Does this indicate a bug in Hazel?

If you need additional logging or other information, how do I get it to you?

What else can I do to figure out why the Action is NOT occurring despite a match?

What version of Hazel are you running and are you on Intel or M1?

OS X Version 12.4 (Build 21F79)
Hazel Version 5.1.2 (Build 2274)
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Have a similar problem. Mac is Intel not M1 Hazel 5.1. Matched, no action (copying file if date created is today) from Synology NAS. Exported the rule and recreated and imported rule. Now the file from today is not even matched when doing rules status, of course no action if no match. Before recreating there was a rule match for the file but no action. Files have not changed in the folder.
Restarting Hazel makes no difference.

Thanks. This should be fixed in the next patch which is due in the coming week or so.

Does your patch address both my issue and @roads’ or just one of our issues?

@roads needs to create a separate thread as it seems totally unrelated.

Do you have revised projected time for releasing this patch?

I'm hoping next week but it depends on some other issues.

Ok.

This bug is holding up my work. But it is much better to take the time you need to fix it once rather than "fixing" it quickly only to have to come back and fix it again.

Thank you for the update.

If it's urgent and you are willing to run a test build, email in to support and I'll send you a link.

Thank you for the offer, but I’ll wait for it a fully tested version.

Seems to be working now.

Thank you.
