The hasitem filter requires an item. It displays a syntax error when the item is invalid. However, ‘air’ is valid to input but filter cannot detect an entity with ‘air’ (no targets found). /replaceitem allows ‘air’ as a valid input so why doesn’t the hasitem filter do the same?

You can't detect an air item in "hasitem" on main hand, but you can replace your slot with air.

Why does /testfor @e[hasitem={item=air}] not allow you to check for players without a item within their inventory?

Hello, I'm experiencing the same issue, here is more information about it :
Steps to Reproduce:
Open chat to write the following command : /execute @s[hasitem={item=air,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}] ~~~ /say TEST
-Execute the command
Observed Results:
"No targets matched selector", Even if our main hand or any other slot in our inventory we want to test is empty it will never execute the /say command.
Expected Results:
When the slot is empty the command should run when we test if there's air.
Hello, I am experiencing the same issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hold any item like DIRT on your main hand and do the "/replaceitem entity @p slot.weapon.mainhand 1 air" command; It should replace your dirt slot with air or make it an empty slot.
2. But when you do the "/testfor @p [hasitem={item=air,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}]" command; It won't detect you even if your main hand slot is empty or air.
Observed Results:
"No targets matched selector", even if your main hand or any other slot in your inventory you want to test is empty or air.
Expected Results:
When the main hand slot is empty or air, the command should detect you as having an empty slot or air slot on the main hand.
Edit: Ignore the "\" next to the "[hasitem=" It's just a bug that keeps coming back whenever I remove it.
This issue is going on.
