    Error reported when progressing quest objectives
    Bug #: 7725
    File: QuestGuru
    Date: 08-30-12 02:39 AM
    By: longshanks
    Status: Game Bug (Cant fix)
    Whenever I progress a quest in some way the error below is issued. For example if I'm on a quest to kill "x of y" mobs ... when I kill the first mob the error shows up. Error repeats for all subsequent progress ie x+1, x+2 etc (if I /reload that is). Don't get any sound issued for the mob kill either. Once I've killed "y of y" items, the quest completes OK, plays the sound etc - so only the progress seems to be the problem.

    This is happening to me too.

    Humm, Three reports of the same problem. In order for this to happen, the output from the line above (409) has to fail. That's a Blizzard API call. I can wrap some diagnostic code around it to present some new info.
    By: Gregity - 09-01-12 03:30 PM
    OK, I've added some code to the QuestGuru.lua file that will dump some extra information to the chat log. Please copy that data and post it in the bug report. Perhaps it will give me an idea about what is going wrong.

    I get this error evrytime the i collect a quest item.
    This is what i get in the chat box.
    "Error: Variable text is nil. arg1=Bloodtooth Frenzy: 5/5, questID=6, i=1, numObjectives=1, questLogTitleText=Fun for the Little Ones"

    Sadly, I must report that Blizzard is the blame for this problem. I've uploaded a new version that detects that the info is missing (that should be there as Blizzard says it should be there) and just skip processing the objective that is missing. If it happens to be the objective that you just completed, then the announce message and sounds won't trigger. But I can't help that as Blizzard isn't providing correct information.

    Typical of Blizz! Thanks for the update Gregity - I'll try it out tonight.
