Rule Matches but doesn't run Sat Apr 07, 2018 11:54 am • by lewis
I have a rule which has been working, but didn't run today. The rule seems to match but none of the actions were taken.

I tried manually running rules on the folder but it didn't help.

The folder is on iCloud and is synced with the iOS app Scanbot.

I am probably missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

Can you turn on debug mode as described here? https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-debug-mode/

After that, wait until the file should have been processed but wasn't. Send me the logs for that file (send it as text, not an image).

I found this in the debug folder:

Code: Select all
Task already running for folder


I think what is happening was this rule was running a script which was creating some temp files in Downloads. Then another rule was altering those files which caused some issue in the script which meant it got into a hung state.

I changed it to not create the temp files in Downloads and restarted Hazel and now things seem to work.

Either way I am happy for now :) Thanks :)
