[ADDON] has been blocked from an action only available to the blizzard UI

Getting alot of errors:
ADDON has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI
You can disable this addon and reload the UI.

Error dump:
1x [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn ‘TradeSkillMaster’ tried to call the protected function ‘UNKNOWN()’.
[string “@!BugGrabber/BugGrabber.lua”]:480: in function <!BugGrabber/BugGrabber.lua:480>
[string “=[C]”]: ?
[string “=[C]”]: ?
[string “=[C]”]: in function UseContainerItem' [string "@FrameXML/ContainerFrame.lua"]:1325: in function ContainerFrameItemButton_OnClick’
[string “@FrameXML/ContainerFrame.lua”]:1461: in function <FrameXML/ContainerFrame.lua:1448>

This occurs when i try and use any item in my bag. While it says tradeskillmaster, this error also appears randomly and references other addons.
It is very frustrating as often i cannot use any abilities on my blizzard bars until i reload.
This was not an issue in SL.

My addons are fully up to date.

Literally been having the same issue to the point I have a bank toon now that I send everything to and leave TSM enabled while it’s disabled on every other toon.

That is an addon bug the original author has to deal with, not Blizzard.

Not a valid bug report for Blizzard. Go to ~~https://www.tradeskillmaster.com/ and send the author the bug detail

I’m having this issue as well, but reporting it here seems valid because it’s not JUST happening with TradeSkillMaster. It’s being reported by many the addons. This function being protected is the issue.

Are you guys using the new One bag blizzard introduced?, if so try switching to the old separate bags or use a addon to replace it entirely, the error has not appeared since.
I dont use tradeskillmaster, buggrabber suggested my error keeps originating from a info bar that shows various stats, going through the code the only thing that would cause a taint is opening the characterframe that is not from blizzards own code.

Same issue! Happens 2-3 times an hour. Random addons. Doesn’t matter what item I’m using, including hearthstones.

No reply from Blizzard, not surprising. They have taken Apple’s stance. Don’t reply, it will go away.

Not really a solution but I found an easy work-around. For errors activating items in your bag via right-click: you can drag them to an action bar and left-click with no error. This worked for TSM so far, will test with other addons.

Still having this issue as well. Tried disabling and re-enabling addons, and it still blames the error on whatever addon i happen to have enabled at the time. This is from Blizzard’s end I think, unless this many addons suddenly cause errors.

Same here, ever since the second patch of Dragonflight. Random addons, usually logging in, hovering over and item or opening a bag.

yea lots of folks i know have been getting this pop up a lot. im one of those folks, it’s really annoying as its a different addon every time, including blizzard addon’s

The function is protected intentionally. Addons still trying to use it is the issue.

It’s the UNKNOWN part that’s the issue. That’s on Blizzard’s end - not sending sufficient information back to enable developers to identify WHICH function is causing the taint and thus allowing them to either fix or work around it.

Bumping again because this is still a major issue

15

Are you still seeing this? At a GitHub where addon developers track bugs in Blizzard’s interface code, they’re tentatively calling the most recent spate of this fault as fixed in Retail client 10.1.7.51754.

In your case, what specific addon and what specific error?

16

Bug still exists, but there’s a temporary workaround:

Ignore what it says about disabling addons, and just type /reload

…then it works again for a while, until it doesn’t.
