same issue here. tried downloading an older version as well and it still did not work. must have something to do with todays update

RIP thats what i was thinking

You need to wait for the addon creator to fix the issue or to have someone create a temp hack to fix the problem.

Until then just disable the addon.

Thats what i posted for here, hoping someone knew how to temp fix it

Check the addon website. If there’s a fix it will be posted there.

Go to your interface in game there is somewhere in there a spot to uncheck lua errors

Unless that they removed that or I’m thinking about tutorials been so long since I was in the options

A “usage” error indicates that something, in this case SpellIsPriorityAura, is being used incorrectly. It takes one argument spellID so my guess would be that the code is passing something to the function that isn’t a spell ID :slight_smile:

It looks like it has been reported to the dev already https://github.com/jordonwow/bigdebuffs/issues/343 unless that’s you :laughing: so you just gotta wait until they get around to fixing it like the others have said.

There exists no such option, you can do

/console scriptErrors 0

to turn errors off or

/console scriptErrors 1

to turn them on but it’s best to leave them on so you know when something is wrong.

This addon restores a lot of the things that were removed from the interface including being able to turn off the LUA errors option;

Yeah cool I thought so I remember way back when interface had that option checked today it’s no longer there in current version lol

I recommend using BugGrabber and BugSack so you see your errors without them spamming your screen.

that’s a pretty bad idea as lua errors can cause frame drops if they’re frequent or drastic enough

this is what I use. I have many alts and some of them get this message.

I started getting the same errors today, seems to have been auctionator? probably disable that addon, see if it goes away, and then if so file a bug report with that addon.
