GameTooltip:GetBackdrop() a nil value for Shadowlands 90105

Hi there! I'm a little baffled by the following line working on Classic, BCc and Restila (up to 90100), but throwing an exception in Retail 90105:

Lua Code:

backdrop = GameTooltip:GetBackdrop();

I get the following exception:

Code:

Interface\AddOns\LunarSphere\lib\moduleButton.lua:223: attempt to call method 'GetBackdrop' (a nil value)

I've searched the GametoolTip API ref and it doesn't seem to have a GetBackdrop method, nor a notice that it has been deprecated.

I've tried using this:

Lua Code:

if not GameTooltip:GetBackdrop then
        Mixin(tooltip, BackdropTemplateMixin)
    end

But then I get an error:

Code:

function arguments expected near 'then'

I'm not the original author of the addon, so I'm not sure what was their intention calling

Code:

GameTooltip:GetBackdrop()

and not over some object (something like

Code:

my_widget:GetBackdrop()

)

Thanks!!
