/dump macro error

Guides UI and Macro
1

I am looking to understand the way Blizzard encodes item attributes for item quality in Dragonflight. I’ve tried using in-game the /dump macro. Specfically:

/dump (the item link) where I get the item link by shift-clicking an item in my bags.

In a specific example it gives me a response:
Dump: value=(the item I linked)
Dump: ERROR: [string “return
[Hitem:2000641::::::::70:104::13:4:8851:8852:87…”]:1: unexpected symbol near ‘]’

and it cuts off any remaining attributes. So its clearly dumping the item id, and some of the attributes and then it barfs on me. It does this for every item I try.

Is this a known issue and how do I work around it to get a complete list of attributes?

Put quotes around the link to make it a string:

/dump "[link]"

Otherwise you’re passing characters to evaluate that it doesn’t know what to do with.

presuming you mean the new profession ranks for dragonflight - if you dont want to decode the hyperlink/itemstring you can use the api

local rank = C_TradeSkillUI.GetItemReagentQualityByItemInfo(link) or C_TradeSkillUI.GetItemCraftedQualityByItemInfo(link)

This works great, thank you!
