solved AppleScript Not authorized Error

[SanityFox]

I've been using an AppleScript to launch Brave in Incognito mode and then open an URL. It had been running no problem for months, but now it's generating an error.

 

[07:34:51.988] FB[Keyword] Processing complete

[07:34:51.991] FB[Keyword] Passing output '' to Run NSAppleScript

[07:34:52.191] ERROR: FB[Run NSAppleScript] {

    NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "System Events";

    NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events.";

    NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events.";

    NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-1743";

    NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {113, 46}";

I feel like there's a simple fix here, like a Monterey update broke a permission or something, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Alfred has access to automation, accessibility, etc. in security, so not sure what's going on.

@SanityFox Check macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation, and make sure the checkbox next to Alfred > System Events is checked. 

 

If it's already checked, but you're still seeing this error, it's possible that the permissions may have become corrupted and need to be re-set.

Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried.  I ended up giving up, doing a complete uninstall, got everything out, then did a re-install, and reimported my workflows, and now it works again. So something was clearly corrupted.
