Getting Lua Error in Classic Era & Anniversary Edition #1433

Gogo1951 · 2024-12-19T02:17:13Z

Troubleshooting Steps

I shot my bow, as a warrior, and this triggered.

Also saw similar issues when I opened Pally Power, so I disabled that thinking it was PP... but it may be Elv related.

Classic Era.

8x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn 'ElvUI' tried to call the protected function 'UNKNOWN()'.

Describe the expected behavior and what actually happened?

No Lua error.

Reproducing the issue.

Install Pally Power, or do a few other tasks. Shooting seemed to trigger it, in combat.

Lua Errors

No response

Verification Steps

I have read the Changelog and verified ElvUI is up to date by checking /estatus
I have verified my issue doesn't exist in the Default UI or the Issue Tracker.
I have not read any of these steps, please close my issue when you see it.
I have done the Troubleshooting Steps and included the requested screenshots, which show the issue and status panel.

You have been opening tickets with issues long enough to know the procedure.

You have multiple addons enabled in that taint. You also know taints can blame other addons so it is important to do the troubleshooting. Here is the link about taints so you can refresh https://github.com/tukui-org/ElvUI/wiki/errors

Please follow all the troubleshooting steps and provide the requested information when opening a ticket.

Type in chat in game
/edebug on
Test
Do you still have the issue?
If you still have issues after edebug on, type in chat in game /estatusand upload a FULL UI screenshot showing the issue/error and the status panel.

Hey mate, not trying to be a pain, just reporting what I see.

I get it, it could be a taint issue from another add-on.

The problem with /edebug is that it disables other add-ons. Hear me out... things like my inventory management across toons, once I turn that off I'm out of sync and it creates other issues for me.

So not trying to be a pain, but the testing steps here are a bit... long.

And often times, like with range check bugs, or other bugs I've seen, the testing steps haven't always been necessary for someone to say, "Oh yeah, cool, I can fix that."

I really appreciate what you guys do, but if you're saying the only bugs you want entered are the ones that go through a long testing process... meh, I can't always do that when I see a bug mid-raid. Sorry. "Hey 24 other people, please wait while I test an add-on!" It just won't work. Sometimes, the best I can do is a copy-paste from Bug Sack.

Anyway like I said, I really do appreciate all the work you guys put in. Cheers!

As always, feel free to close anything I open. (=

Hey @1Botanica1 ,

I wanted to bring up an issue I’ve been experiencing with ElvUI and Pally Power, two popular add-ons. It seems there’s a conflict between them, and unfortunately, it’s been an issue for some time.

When ElvUI is disabled, Pally Power works fine. However, as soon as ElvUI is enabled, I encounter a Lua Error like the one I shared previously.

To replicate the issue, all that’s needed is to install ElvUI and Pally Power in Classic—you don’t even need to play as a Paladin; the error appears regardless of class as long as Pally Power is installed.

I completely understand how busy things can get, and I’m sure there’s a lot on your plate. I just wanted to check in and see if there’s anything else I can do to help escalate or provide additional details to assist in resolving this. It’s been an ongoing issue for a few months now, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any guidance or support you can provide.

Thank you so much for your time and hard work. Cheers!

I get a similar issue, I think, when I go to open Macros with /m and then hit the "Change Name/Icon" button.

This only happens with ElvUI installed.

I think it just needs to set a default value, or have a workaround if IconTypeDropDown is set nil.

All of these started happening with the patch right before Anniversary Edition came out.

Thanks!

Trying to get to the bottom of what's going on here...

On sign in, I get a Lua error. It reports as Pally Power / Elv - and when I turn Elv off I don't get this Lua error.

On typing /aa (to open Angry Assignments) I get a Lua error. And Angry Assignments fails to open. (This is the real bug I'm trying to solve.) AngryAssignments also works if I turn off Elv.

The taint log shows DruidMacroHelper... I do play both classes, but even with DMH turned off I get the Lua errors above.

Anyway copy pasting this comment in all four issues, but I don't know if they are related. Happy to test or make tweaks based on feedback.

Thanks!

1Botanica1 · 2025-01-27T16:12:00Z

Creating numerous tickets without troubleshooting wastes people’s times.

If you are having an issue opening angry assignments with ElvUI - troubleshoot!!!!

Type in chat in game
/edebug on
Enable Angry Assingments only
Test - does angry assignments open?
Type in chat in game
/eststus and upload a FULL UI screenshot (uncropped)
Disable ElvUI & test - have just AA enabled - does it work - From the comments on curseforge - it doesn’t work on classic https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/angry-assignments/comments

Gogo1951 · 2025-01-27T17:11:19Z

Let me download the right version!

I'll report back if I still get Lua / Taint issues. Thank you!

Gogo1951 · 2025-01-27T17:32:15Z

Thanks! That fixed Angry Assignments.

Now to get to this Lua error...

Maybe this will help? Instead of running with just Angry Assignments, I tried with Just Pally Power.

Here's a copy of the Lua error that came up.

Not trying to be a pain, I also wanted to point out that I get a Lua error with just Elv installed.

Thanks for going through the troubleshooting. Your ElvUI is out of date, please update.

If you have different errors, please open new tickets. 1 issue per ticket.

Ok, but it says I'm on the right one. (=

Gogo1951 · 2025-01-29T21:40:31Z

Does the companion app not phone home every so often? I just quit and restarted it and it has an update for me. Thanks!

Should I just set a cron job to kill the app and reload it is that the best way to get it to refresh?
