Batchplay not working for me? I updated to PS 24.1.1 Mac

Weird.  My plug in has been working for weeks. Now it no longer works after several mac updates. I have not touched my plug in. No errors. 

Mac Ventura 13.1 ( Mac M1 Max)

Adobe Ps 24.1.1

In Debug mode I get all my usual console.log messages. No errors.

Do I need to change something in the MANIFEST.JSON after my Ps/Mac updates?

Hi, @contactzero! I tried to write several batchPlay functions - everything works for me. Windows

Try asking a similar question here - Adobe Creative Cloud Developer Forums

Oh, I see my problem; I added one line -- ONE line, to my batchplay

//Delete Hidden Layers
{"_obj": "delete","_target": [{"_ref": "layer","_enum": "ordinal","_value": "hidden"}],"_isCommand": false },

So, my batchplay was working on the file I was testing because there was a hidden layer. That was what I was testing, so that was what was working.

Days later, I open another random image file WITHOUT a hidden layer and my batchplay doesn't do anything because Delete Hidden Layers is one of the first commands in a long series of array elements. So I found out Batchplay aborts the sequence if one element fails. 

So, I'll wrap the Delete Hidden Layers in a separate batch play with Try...

- Back to testing

Also,

I since updating Mac OS or Ps to latest version, I have to change {mergeVisible}, which is no longer working, to {flattenImage}.

-Good grief

Everything should work.

Check the state of the document (if an invisible layer is selected, then mergeVisible will not work).
