The rules are working before Update Paperless. After Update Paperless i have run the setup_venv.sh. I have always delete the folder venv and run the setup script, but without any positive result. In my opinion there is a bug in the api from paperless.
I'm not sure I understand: which versions of Paperless-NGX does the postprocessor work with, and which versions does it not work with?
Either way, to debug further you can add the following line to the docker-compose.env file for Paperless-NGX:
PNGX_POSTPROCESSOR_VERBOSE=DEBUG
After making that change, reload Paperless-NGX as normal (e.g. docker-compose up -d) and try to process some new documents. The postprocessor will inherit that environment variable from Paperless-NGX, and print out a lot more detailed information in the logs.
Hello jgillula,
with version 2.15.2 of the Paperless Webserver, the Paperless postprocessor still worked perfectly. after the update to version 2.16.1, the postprocessor no longer worked, although the same ruleset and the same documents were processed as in version 2.15.2. Since yesterday there is version 2.16.2 of the webserver, but even with this version nothing has changed. As I read in the Paperless changelog, they were working on the API and also on the timing of when the post process is triggered. I have set the environment variable “PAPERLESS_DEBUG: true” in my stack and only get the following log entries [2025-05-25 09:38:56,852] [INFO] [paperless.consumer] Executing post-consume script /usr/src/paperless-ngx-postprocessor/post_consume_script.sh

So I can assume that the postprocessor really runs through the ruleset. But the result of the imported document is not what should be done in the ruleset when the rule is matched. Also the tag that the postprocessor was successful is not set, as well as the ASN is not set, as should happen in my last rule, which always takes effect. But even this rule is not enforced by the ASN. As described with Paperless Webserver 2.15.2 the rules runs fine.
#################################################################################### #ASN is set for each document #################################################################################### Set ASN Name: match: True metadata_postprocessing: asn: '{{ document_id }}'
Setting PAPERLESS_DEBUG: true won't cause the postprocessor to output any debug info. The postprocessor reads from its own different environment variable. As I mentioned earlier, please set PNGX_POSTPROCESSOR_VERBOSE=DEBUG and let me know if that results in any more debug info in the logs.
now the dubug mode shows many messages,

it is not clear for me, wy the Titel is not changed and asn not set. The error at 2025-05-25 20:13:03,689 is not clear for me, because agg tags are o.k. (294, 88, 326). When i ask the API /api/tags in the json are all tags shown.
Docker, Paperless-ngx 2.16.1
I'm not sure if this is the same problem. But I have a similar problem. I use the plugin the first time, but as far as I can see, the ruleset is correct, but the title is not changed for the processed documents.
The goal of the rule is to find the invoicenumber and change the title to this invoice number.
This ist my ruleset:
tierarztinvoicerule: match: "{{ correspondent == 'Tierärztliche Praxis am Harpener Hellweg' }}" metadata_regex: '(?P<title_new>[0-9]{5}/[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{6}BP)' metadata_postprocessing: title: '{{ title_new }}'

I have the same problem. From what I can see in the logs, the rule matches and is applied, but somehow the values are not changed in paperless:

The changes mentioned are what is expected. Somehow these changes are not applied. The document name uses the old values here and in paperless the old values are used as well. DEBUG messages are only before this and show no errors or problems.
Hi there, I got the same on 2.16.2. It was working great on 2.15.x. I can find the following lines in the debug log:

But no changes are applied to the document.
Not sure if the inital warning Accessing the database during app initialization is discouraged. is related, but might say that the script cannot save the changes to database and thus no change is applied to the processed doc.
Just a heads up that this seems due to a breaking change in paperless-ngx 2.16.0, which changed the format of the created date.
Even rulesets that don't try to change the created date would be affected, since the postprocessor would read the date from the paperless-ngx REST API in the new format, but then try to patch it using the old format, but the patch would then be rejected.
A fix is incoming within a few days--possibly mid-next week. Thanks to everyone for your patience. I had no idea more than a handful of people used the postprocessor!

It's a great tool. Thank you!
This has been fixed in v2.0.1. For now, we just ask paperless-ngx to use an older version of the REST API; eventually I'll need to change things so they only work for paperless-ngx v2.16+ (and use the latest version of the REST API), but that would be a breaking change and I'm not ready to introduce that yet.
If you find any new problems with the new version, please open a new bug. Thanks!
I can confirm that it's working again. 👍 Thank you so much! Great add-on to pngx.
