I've been trying to get rules to send an email to the node author when a comment is added to their page but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I tried creating a rule that when a comment is saved that I first fetch

comment:node:author:uid

and then send an email to the
entity-fetched:author:mail

but the email doesn't send.

Any suggestions?

i also come up with this error

Warning: array_values() [function.array-values]: The argument should be an array in rules_action_entity_query() (line 98 of /sites/all/modules/rules/modules/data.eval.inc).

you see that it fails due to
14.117 ms Unable to load node with id "42"

try to fix your rule, or post an export of the rule in order to get further help
