BagBuddy Tutorial Help

Ok, so I bought the WoW Programming book the other day, and I'm reading through it working on the BagBuddy addon that it walks you through and I'm having some issues.

Code:

-- Create the filter buttons
	self.filters = {}
	for idx=0, 5 do 
		button = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "BagBuddy_Filter" .. idx, self, "BagBuddyFilterTemplate")
		SetItemButtonTexture(button, "Interface\\Icons\\INV_Misc_Gem_Pearl_03")
		self.filters[idx] = button
		
		if idx == 0 then
			button:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", 40, 200)
		else
			button:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.filters[idx-1], "TOPRIGHT", 12, 0)
		end
		
		button.icon:SetVertexColor(GetItemQualityColor(idx))
		button:SetChecked(false)
		button.quality = idx
		button.glow:Hide()
	end
	self.filters[-1] = self.filters[0]

Is the code thats causing me problems, more specifically this line (I think lol)

Code:

SetItemButtonTexture(button, "Interface\\Icons\\INV_Misc_Gem_Pearl_03")

the LUA error im getting in game:

Message: Interface\FrameXML\ItemButtonTemplate.lua:46: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

}
texture = "Interface\Icons\INV_Misc_Gem_Pearl_03"

(*temporary) = nil

edit: solved my problem, I made a typo in my xml file >.> Template is hard word to spell apparently
