Rule warnings
An orange triangle next to a rule’s name in the Rules list means the rule has a warning. Hold the pointer over the triangle to read it. When a rule has more than one warning, the tooltip lists them all.
Bouncer checks for warnings each time the list is drawn. When the cause is gone, the triangle goes away.
In the table, italic words stand for the name Bouncer fills in.
| Tooltip | Cause | What clears it |
|---|---|---|
| This rule can’t match. ‘rule name’ above it covers the same URLs. Reorder or narrow that rule to reach this one. | An enabled rule higher in the list matches every link this rule could match. Bouncer checks this for simple patterns only, not for regex rules. | Drag this rule above the other one, or edit the other rule so it matches fewer links. |
| Regex pattern won’t compile: reason. This rule will never match. | The pattern under When… in regex mode is not a valid regular expression. | Open the rule and fix the pattern. The box turns green when the pattern matches the example link. |
| The selected browser profile no longer exists. Links will fall back to the default profile. | The rule points to a profile that Bouncer can no longer find in that browser. The profile was deleted or renamed. | Open the rule and choose a profile again under Open in…. If the profile does exist, click Refresh profiles in Settings > Browsers first. |
| Source app filter references apps that aren’t installed: app list. | The app under From… is not installed on this Mac. | Install the app, or open the rule and choose another app under From…. |
| Accessibility permission is off. This rule’s workspace filter can’t be matched until you grant it in System Settings. | The rule has a workspace or server under From…, and Bouncer does not have Accessibility permission. | Turn on Bouncer in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. See Grant Accessibility. |
The profile warning is different from the other four. That rule still matches, and links open in the browser’s default profile. A rule with any of the other four warnings cannot match until the cause is fixed.
