Post for Xrystal on nUI 5 bug im having

[Gildah]

I think this worked

I'm pretty sure it is what I expected and explained before in game. Try the aura button plugin and see if that stops the error messages. I suspect you are accidentally hovering over the aura lists which then tries to show the tooltip which it doesn't like doing during combat.

here is the new one

Technically, that's a warning, not an error... it's a taint bug resulting from trying to show/hide/modify aura buttons while in combat and is a side effect of enabling the clickable option for the auras.

For the most part, it's an entirely benign error and likely has no impact on you in combat other than annoying the crap out of you when the error window is displayed. There's an option to turn off warning messages somewhere either in the bug tool or the Blizz interface, I forget which.

While it doesn't make the problem go away entirely, it will at least prevent it from annoying you in the middle of encounters.

That all said, the second most important priority I have in nUI6, other than performance fixes, it to fix all of the taint problems nUI5 had. Blizz is making some changes to how taint is reported in the 5.2 PTR and I'm anxiously waiting for that to all get working so I can nail down the last couple of taints I have to deal with in nUI6. I don't see them getting fixed in nUI5 since it's long been end of life and being kept on life support by Xrystal while I work on nUI6... it would be way too much work for far too little return to try and do it in nUI5.

I tried replicating it with a fight against test dummies but can't seem to get the error message to appear using the built in error report tool. I get the message while mousing over the aura lists but I thought that side of things was fixed in a roundabout way by using the aura button plugin but that didn't resolve his problem.

Looking at the message it looks like the problem is with the unit frames auras but they don't seem to show tooltips on the auras themselves .. unless that is something that can be toggled manually. will have to see if it is possible.

Okay, managed to replicate the problem.

It is as you say scott to do with making the auras clickable.


After I turned on ALL auras and tooltip display settings from the blizzard menu and then adjusted nUI_UnitAura.lua so that line 324 changes from:

if owner.aura and owner.active then
self:SetID( owner.aura.id );

to

if owner.aura and owner.active and not InCombatLockdown() then -- added IncombatLockdown
self:SetID( owner.aura.id );


This simply checks if you are in combat and decides not to show the tooltip when in combat but will when not regardless of combattips setting.

The file attached has this change in if anyone is having the same error message appear. Bear in mind this was fixed and tested while fighting the test dummy so it may not have fixed all similar problems.

Just in case it wasn't clear or you didn't know. The nUI_UnitAura.lua file is located in the nUI/Units folder and the changed file will need to go in there accordingly. Let me know if it resolves the problem.
