Trying to figure out an Error with a Mod

Carl_Bar

Getting this very odd issue with Refinement Tracker. I've posted over at ESOUI but i'm hoping it's a simply typo somwhere, but i'm having issues dissecting the error log:





And here's the contents of the error log file:

It says in line 11 of RefinementTracker.lua is a call to a function or variable which does not exist with this name (it is nil, non existing, empty).

You need to check teh file at line 11 and see which variables and functions are used there. One of them is wrong, maybe a typo, or it was not just initialized or "filled with content" properly before.

This might happen if you got a table e.g. myTable = {} where you try to access the key "naem" in this table afterwardsliek this
local myVariable = myTable["name"]
But myTable["name"] = "MyName" was never set before so the table key is nil.

Edit:
The addon dev already fixed it. it was some error with Libraries used.

"Fixed, I was initializing a library wrongly, but it wasn't noticeable when other addons initialized it first probably."
