Hi there everyone, I haven't been very active in this forum in the past, so I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Dan, and I've been developing Atlas for the past year or so. Hi!
So, for the past few iterations of the addon, some people have been getting errors on login. It appears that clearing the saved variables sometimes takes care of this problem. However, with the latest release I'm not so sure. I'm getting no errors whatsoever, and I never have, so it's very difficult for me to troubleshoot these problems.
Here are the three errors people have been reporting for the latest version (1.7.1), the first one has been the most prevelant:
Code:
Interface/Addons/Atlas/Atlas.lua:380:
attempt to concatenate local 'zoneID'(a nil value)
Code:
Interface/AddOns/Atlas/Atlas.lua:147:
attempt to index field 'Naxxramas' (a nil value)
Code:
Interface/AddOns/Atlas/Atlas.lua:226:
bad argument #1 to `foreach' (table expected, got nil)
All three errors seem to be similar in that a variable that should exist simply doesn't (aka is nil).
Since I never get the errors (nor do many people), I've suspected that they might be a result of people installing the addon without restarting WoW, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Many users reporting errors are also using AtlasLoot, which I do not maintain myself, so that could be the sole cause of the problem at this point.
Right now, I don't really know what to do, and that's why I'm making this post. I'd love for another mod developer to look over the Atlas code and let me know if there something obvious (or not so obvious) that I'm just missing. If you'd like to help out, I'd be more than willing to work with you and answer any questions you might have about how the addon works. I've learned everything I know about Lua and addon writing through the creation of this one mod, so I probably still have a good deal to learn. I can be reached on AIM at dan5981 or via email at
loglow@gmail.com anytime. I'll also be checking this thread regularly.
