No contents contain match in .json file?

[marcia_h]

Any suggestions to get Contents contain match to work on a .json file? It seems to be just plain text, TextEdit opens it just fine.

Date Added is after Date Last Matched
Full Name contains config.json
Contents contain match Homebridge

I also tried Contents contain.

It matches if I rename the file and the Full Name rule to config.txt.

Hazel 5.1.

You may need to find an app that can open .json files. At least one app that handles json must provide a definition that categorizes the file as a text file.

Also, unrelated but I'd recommend updating to the latest version (5.1.4). The in-app updater may not work so you will have to download and install the update manually.

I defined TextEdit as the default application for .json files. It's working now, thank you!

Thanks for the tip on updating manually.
