Login error due to specific addon

Greetings, how can I find out which addon is making error when loading a character, because when I turned off all addons my game is working, when I turned them on it's not working. How can I specificize which addon is making problem without losing too much time by enabling them one by one... ?

    if you read the UI error that pops up, it should include the addon name in the file path displayed in the error message

    if you want help diagnosing the error message you could post a screenshot here which might help

    outside of that the only other method is as you put it, enable 1 by 1 until you find the offending addon

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    You can also perform a type of search for it:
    1) Enable half your addons, try to log in. If it works, you know that the buggy addon is not on that list.
    2) Enable half of the addons that cause the issue. If in step 1 you found that the addons enabled caused the issue, then enable half the addons from step 1. If you found that step 1 allowed you to sign in without issues, then enable half of the addons from the ones that were disabled before.

    Continue this process until you find which addon is causing the issue.

    If you're in a big guild, ask about problems others are having. In the past week since Firesong update/release the best help has come from guilders for me. They alerted me to a fatal flaw with the lib file HarvestMap loads automatically, NodeDetection, the very last lib addon. Disabled it, and game stopped crashing. Lots of other problems, though, I'm still working on.
