Error on run, nothing seems to happen

I'm running v. 1.1.0 on Alfred 5.0.1 on macOS 12.15.1
Here's what comes up in the debug log when I type "msg" in Alfred:

[11:58:29.578] Mouseless Messenger[Script Filter] Queuing argument '(null)'

• Have you enabled full-disk access for Alfred?
• Are you using iCloud Messages?

[stringerzoo]

Yes, f-d access is/was enabled.
Yes, iCloud messages is/was enabled.

After reading the full thread of the previous issue, tried rebooting (I know, should have done that first). Getting the same error...

The workflow queries the Messages SQLite database. If you're using iCloud Messages, you also need to enable the Save history when conversations are closed option so that the database actually has content written to it.

I'm told that this option has disappeared in beta versions of macOS Ventura, so I'm not sure how viable of a solution this will prove to be long-term.

[stringerzoo]

Thanks. Looks like that option has already been deprecated in Monterey as well.

This article also confirms that later versions of macOS are not going to enable local saving of Messages history. Thanks for your work on this.

[stephancasas]

I wonder if there's an exposure for this using defaults write or plistbuddy. If it's going to disappear altogether in macOS Ventura, I'll need to find a new way to get to the messages data.

v. 1.0.2 works so I went back to it.

[stringerzoo]

Works for me too! Thanks!

I'm on Ventura as well with iCloud messages enabled and 1.2 doesn't work for me. Let me know if I can provide anything that would help!

[stephancasas]

I'm unable to test iCloud Messages without enabling it on my own device, and potentially losing some functionality in other apps/workflows I've written.

To help me understand the current disposition of things, Mouseless Messenger 1.1 doesn't work, but earlier versions do work?

yes, 1.02 works fine.

[stephancasas]

This issue should be fixed in v2.0.

This still seems to happen. Can reproduce if I trigger the workflow right after sending a message. The first few times I run the workflow it does nothing, then eventually gets going again.

I had the same problem / error message when debugging. I think I may have found the issue; obviously did all of the above: reboot, Full Disk Access, delete / reinstall.... My solution: check the Automation permissions (in Privacy and Security), Messages was not enabled. I made sure it was enabled and started working. Hope this helps.
