Problem - /itemnotify is not working (aka My badger is missing!)

[PricklyGoat723]

I took my 7 day vacation and I come back and my badger was missing.
When I looked closer, I saw that my Lua scripts don't click on items anymore.
I didn't change anything, but these lines and others like them no longer function.

/itemnotify "Striped Badger Whistle" rightmouseup
/itemnotify "Cauldron of Endless Abundance III" rightmouseup

I send them in Lua with lines like

 mq.cmd('/itemnotify "Striped Badger Whistle" rightmouseup')

And yes i have checks and delays in my function, but it fails even if I copy paste the single line directly into the MQ window.
No error, no nothing. I really miss my badger.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

any reason why you're not just /useitem "name of item"

Yes, there is a very good reason. I did not know /useitem existed.
Most of what I wrote is just from reading https://docs.macroquest.org/lua/
Thank you, Sic, you found my badger!

I too am noticing issues/oddities with itemnotify since last patch, works 30% of the time....

mq.cmdf('/shift /itemnotify "%s" leftmouseup', theItem)
