I have an issue with the following AppleScript with hazel. For testing purposes I made rule that when name contains "test" move to the trash and execute the following AppleScript. Why does it raise an exception? The AS runs fine in the script editor.
Rule

Code: Select all

tell application "Finder"
   set warns before emptying of trash to false
   empty trash
end tell

Log

Code: Select all

Is Desktop/untitled folder the original location before moving it to the trash?

Desktop/untitled folder is folder being watched is located. The "test2" was inside "untitled folder". But that should give an exception error like this. this wasn't an issue and was working fine in the earlier version of hazel it was tested and worked fine then. Just noticed this now.

Doing further testing the last version that this worked as intended was version 5.3.2. 5.3.3 and on it does not work. Does not work means that the apple script does not executed without an error and fails to execute.

Are you willing to run a test build? If so, email me (Help->Contact Support).

sure. sent email.
