WowAce

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.program loads
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
no error, get error message

What version of the product are you using?
Current as of today

Do you have an error log of what happened?
1x libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-102.lua:380: attempt to index local "L" (a nil value)
libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-102.lua:380: in main chunk

Please provide any additional information below.

What locale are you running? e.g.:

/dump GetLocale()

might return

enUS

And just for the hell of it, try again with the current version of LibStatLogic:

LibStatLogic-1.2-102

There's been 5 updates since then; but i still think you're in a Locale that i've never heard of.

enUS, and now the error is 1x libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-107.lua:270: attempt to index global "PatternLocale" (a nil value) libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-107.lua:270: in main chunk

Locals:

I am trying to get Ratingbuster working, my programming expertise is In Visual Basic.net, so doing a ton of learning how the LUA stuff works.

It's almost like you're missing the enUS.lua file:

lib.xml
LibStatLogic-1.2.lua
Locales\ 
      Locales.xml
      enUS.lua

lib.xml is directs wow to load \Locales\Locales.xml and then load the main *LibStatLogic.lua` code file:

• `<Include file="Locales\\Locales.xml"/>
• <Script file="LibStatLogic-1.2.lua"/>

And Locales.xml instructs WoW to load enUS.lua localization file (and then all the other locale files):

• <Script file="enUS.lua"/>
• <Script file="deDE.lua"/>
• <Script file="enGB.lua"/>
• <Script file="esES.lua"/>
• <Script file="esMX.lua"/>
• <Script file="frFR.lua"/>
• <Script file="koKR.lua"/>
• <Script file="ruRU.lua"/>
• <Script file="zhCN.lua"/>
• <Script file="zhTW.lua"/>

So the file load order should be:

• lib.xml
• Locales.xml
• enUS.lua
• LibStatLogic-1.2.lua

And LibStatLogic-1.2.lua depends on two variables that are in enUS.lua:

PatternLocale = {};
DisplayLocale = {};

Are you including LSL as a TOC?

so doing a ton of learning how the LUA stuff works.

Hey, you and me both. Lua, and WoW's frame API, makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs with a keyboard.

I was just using what the RatingBuster addon puts into the Addon Directory. I had the main addon working than all of a sudden started getting the errors in the labstatlogic. The error generated just as I load wow now is

7x RatingBuster\RatingBuster-1.6.7.lua:1893: attempt to index field "?" (a nil value) RatingBuster\RatingBuster-1.6.7.lua:1893: in main chunk

Locals:

2x libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-107.lua:270: attempt to index global "PatternLocale" (a nil value) libs\LibStatLogic-1.2\LibStatLogic-1.2-107.lua:270: in main chunk

Thank you for Fixing RatingBuster, works like a champ Locals:

It worked find before Tuesday, so scratching head!!

Thanks for the information though

Edit: Gonna have to dig deeper and more learning to figure which errors are happening first, maybe in the ratingbuster itself. Not so cut and dried as my VB.net!

Where best resources to read up on all this?

Jack, thank you for fixing Ratingbuster, works like a champ again

Does RatingsBuster not include LibStatLogic as a sub-folder (i.e. a library)?

It would be odd for RatingsBuster to place LibStatLogic as a separate addon in the addons folder; when it's actually a library.

i know LibStatLogic has its own TOC file, but i cannot imagine why it's there.

Seeing the same issue in r120 (after fixing the syntax error). Chucked in some print debugs, and it would seem enUS.lua is not getting loaded before LibStatLogic-1.2.lua for whatever reason.
