same as issue reported last may - by me

HitsMode5\Core.lua:654: attempt to concatenate local 'a' (a nil value)

It appears the event text is occaisionaly returning something with a new format (I haven't tracked it down yet)

For the time being, after the line:

if b and f.db.display.includeRestedExperience then a = (a or "").." (+"..b..L[" rested"]..")" end

add

if not a then a = "" end

I will try and get a better fix when I get the error again if Allara doesn't get in first..

again, appreciate the help. i can copy/paste or comment out with the best of them, but anything more than that is way above my pay scale. ;)

I have not seen the error again so I'm guessing that Blizzard fixed the format of the event parameter that caused the problem. Fingers crossed this is all.

It appears followers are getting XP in BfA and the error posted was due to that. An example of the new message:

[Stormcaller Mylra] has earned 30 xp.

I create a new entry in the enUS.lua localisation file

L["CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN_3"] = ".* earned (%d+).*" -- Followers "Earn" xp

Then in core.lua below line 650

_, _, a = string.find(arg1, L["CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN_1"]) -- .* gain (%d+).*

I added:

if not a then
         _, _, a = string.find(arg1, L["CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN_3"]) -- .* earned (%d+).* -- For followers
end
