Questions & Suggestions

Hi all, I'm encountering issues where key commands fail to trigger, and other unexpected behavior occurs. When I tried executing a macro through the CLI and an AppleScript generated by KM itself, I received errors indicating the commands are missing or unavailable. Does Keyboard Maestro ever experience corruption? Should I consider reinstalling, and if so, what is the recommended process? this is the error i get, and yes im sure they're enabled error

"Keyboard Maestro Engine got an error: do script found no macros with a matching name (macros must be enabled, and in macro groups that are enabled and currently active)." number -1

It might help if you state your KM and macOS version numbers.

Are you sure the macros you are trying to trigger are active and available? I would try a macro in a global group that is enabled and not restricted in any way, like this:

Manually run the macro from the editor, try a Hot Key Trigger, then try it by script.

Could it be caused by having two macros with the same name in different groups? Did you try changing the macro's name?

We need an example -- this might simply be a string encoding problem at the CLI or AppleScript stage.
