Can you attach your Journalator saved variables file (found at Wow directory\_retail_\WTF\some numbers\SavedVariables\Journalator.lua)?

[sjtyejopemlzn]

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I found the saved variable file in this path, instead of the one you suggested:

World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF\Account\some numbers\SavedVariables\ Journalator.lua

That location is fine, I mistyped the location, forgot the Account

Any updates on supplying the saved variables file?

Can you also try disabling all other add-ons (other than Journalator and Auctionator) and see if it's still broken?

I attached the lua file via email reply on Mon 12 Jun:

[image: 1f749b09-01d1-4319-9308-02c1a17e2a7c.png]

I'll try attaching the file to this message. If it doesn't go through, I can try resending, or use the github platform to send it to you.

I disabled all addons other than Journalator 1.43 and Auctionator 10.1.7, and the errors still persist. I upgraded to Journalator 1.44, and I am also getting the errors.

To refine what I'm seeing on my end - I am able to click on the various tabs of Journalator, but I'm not seeing any information, just a static 'progress' bar in the middle of the screen:

Thank you.

The email replies don't seem to include any attachments or screenshots. Can you try adding the attachments and screenshots to using the Github interface for the issue?

Can you do the following chat commands and report the output for each one? One of these should output a different value to what I'd expect.

/dump JOURNALATOR_LOGS
/dump JOURNALATOR_ARCHIVE_TIMES
/dump Journalator.State.MinTimeLoaded
/dump time()

[sjtyejopemlzn]

Okay, here are the screenshots I've been trying to send to you:

Saved variable file:

Journalator.txt

Four /dump commands:

JOURNALATOR_LOGS.txt JOURNALATOR_ARCHIVE_TIMES.txt Journalator.State.MinTimeLoaded.txt time().txt

[plusmouse]

Thanks for the files and screenshots I've found the cause of the problem and fixed it. You can now update to the newest alpha build and it will open correctly Journalator-1.44-6-g1967373.zip

[plusmouse]

The issue came from the data being old and the compatibility code having broken since it was written in 2021, I've fixed the compatibility code now.

[sjtyejopemlzn]

Thank you for your quick replies and quick fix. Thanks also for your patience with sorting out the issue with the attachments.
