My logs show these two errors
Is this a problem with Trickster and Reminders, or is this a problem with DT3 3.9.4?
It’s the only report we’ve seen. What’s the Reminders smart rule?
What is odd is I deactivated the Reminders rule and I am still getting the error- that is odd
It is:
And this is the script:
on performSmartRule(selection)
set listName to "From Devonthink"
tell application id "DNtp"
set selectedItems to selection
repeat with theItem in selectedItems
set itemName to the name of theItem
set itemUUID to the uuid of theItem
if first character of itemUUID is "<" then
set itemUUID to my cleanUUID(itemUUID)
end if
set itemCallback to "x-devonthink-item://" & itemUUID
set itemHasDueDate to false
try
set dueDate to due date of reminder of theItem
set itemHasDueDate to true
end try
tell application "Reminders"
set myList to list listName
tell myList
if itemHasDueDate is false then
make new reminder at end with properties {name:itemName, body:itemCallback}
else
make new reminder at end with properties {name:itemName, body:itemCallback, due date:dueDate}
end if
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end performSmartRule
on cleanUUID(itemUUID)
set itemUUID to texts 2 thru -1 of itemUUID
set itemUUID to texts 1 thru -2 of itemUUID
set itemUUID to "%3C" & itemUUID & "%3E"
return itemUUID
end cleanUUID
There was a similar report:
It might instead be this Reminders rule:
with this script:
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
tell application id “DNtp”
set due_date to current date
set due_date to due_date + 3600 * 24
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
tell theRecord to make new reminder with properties {schedule:daily , alarm:sound , due date:due_date}
end repeat
end tell
end performSmartRule
Do you use DEVONthink 3.9.4, does a reboot fix this? I noticed similar issues also few times with other apps (e.g. Safari) on Sonoma.
I rebooted and that particular error stopped
Now I get this
I am guessing there is some issue with Sonoma and the Trickster integration as this has been rock solid for a long time
Did you modify this rule or its script? Or is identical to the one from the support assistant?
2 years ago soon after the integration was released I made a couple of minor edits to the script at the direction of Apparent Software so that it would recognize new Groups as well as new documents. I think their plan was to make that the “standard” script at some point but I do not know if that happened.
For that reason my script has a portion commented out to remind me of what used to be there before my current version.
This has worked well for over 2 years now.
For what it’s worth the errors in the log do seem to be decreasingly quite notably in frequency - is there some indexing that goes on an thus it is self-repairing?
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
tell application id “DNtp”
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
set itemLink to the reference URL of the theRecord
set thePath to the path of the theRecord
set recordPath to the location of theRecord
set appname to name
tell application “Trickster”
add recent thePath source appname displayPath recordPath callbackURL itemLink bundleID “com.devon-technologies.think3”
end tell
(* set itemLink to the reference URL of parent of theRecord
set thePath to the path of parent of theRecord
set recordPath to the location of parent of theRecord
set appname to name
tell application “Trickster”
add recent thePath source appname displayPath recordPath callbackURL itemLink bundleID “com.devon-technologies.think3”
end tell
*)
end repeat
end tell
end performSmartRule
Not in DEVONthink. But the script retrieves the path of the record which might be an empty string in case of internal groups. This would explain the most recent error, maybe the latest versions of Trickster now throw an error instead of silently failing?
Perhaps so.
Or perhaps there is some change in Trickster that works with “new data” but not old data and it thus is self-correcting because the Trickster data is transient and not retained long-term.
I will see how the trend goes and if this problem persists.
Thanks.
