PR #38 - unable to see combat text after locale implementation

[zbrak]

@Justw8 #38 seems to have broken the addon for me. Unable to see any text in normal mode. I do get text in BlizzardSCT mode.

Reinstalled addon, cleared saved variables. Was working yeterday.

[Justw8]

Do you get any errors? since it was working for me with the most recent version.

[Nikyou]

Can confirm, the latest version broke something. 1:

[Justw8]

@Nikyou What truncate method do you use?

the locale errors arn't stopping the addon from working.

[Nikyou]

@Justw8 Western with Show Truncated Letter

[hrlmartins]

Yup same as above. And as I get into combat it just keeps stacking up errors until out of combat. No text is seen from NSCT.

[Justw8]

What if you swap the truncate number setting to something else, and then back to western? does that fix it?

[zbrak]

(I cycled through all new locale options in my troubleshooting btw - no dice)

[Nikyou]

@Justw8 Nope

[Nikyou]

I can try and look into the code to see problem areas that make errors

[Justw8]

I think I have spotted the place why it goes wrong. I thought I fixed it but it looks like I messed something up somewhere.

[aromagnoli]

Same here! Exactly the same error.

Please try v1.38 when it's up, if you still get errors with that version I can look again 👍

[kiruz-0]

When is v1.38 planned to be released? Seems like I'm having same issues like others. I cleared cache, settings variable and reinstalled addon but still the same error with absorb thing or nill value

[Justw8]

should be up any minute, you can also grab latest alpha. Has the same code, but not the version bump yet.

[zbrak]

You can also download the zip on github from the releases

[Justw8]

please let me know if it did fix it, then we can close this again.
