Getting LUA error for an add-on that's not loaded?

ZioGio · June 2018

I'm getting a LUA error for TraitBuddy, but I have TraitBuddy disabled so how is that possible?

EsoUI/Ingame/Inventory/Inventory.lua:1445: attempt to index a nil value

I renamed the AddOnSettings.txt so the game would build a new one, but the error returned.

A solution would be great, but an explanation is also welcome to sate my curiosity.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

That error does not come from Traitbuddy. Which addons are you using?

You're right, @Ydrisselle. When I search for Inventory.lua, only TraitBuddy comes up (Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\TraitBuddy\ui\inventory.lua), but that .lua doesn't have 1445 lines in it.

The full error is below and I was getting it every time I harvested a resource after logging into the game:

EsoUI/Ingame/Inventory/Inventory.lua:1445: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
EsoUI/Ingame/Inventory/Inventory.lua:1445: in function 'ZO_InventoryManager:UpdateList'

EsoUI/Ingame/Inventory/SharedInventory.lua:146: in function 'OnFullQuestInventoryUpdated'

Below is a list of my installed add-ons (didn't seem like many until I typed them all out). All that can be updated have been and I didn't have any issues until the daily rewards started (I addressed the issues "No, thank you!" was having with daily rewards). I visited the esoui forums for suspects, but didn't find anyone else sharing my error.

Do a binary search, turn off half the addons, turn on the other half. Do that with smaller and smaller mounts of addons on until you find the culprit.

EsoUI/Ingame/Inventory is the game itself. So this error is coming from the game's code. Which doesn't mean that the game is causing it, only that some addon is messing with the game's code and causing the error.

Thanks, @Dolgubon. I should have known better. Been playing games with add-ons long enough that I shouldn't have let myself get sidetracked by a red herring. :-)
