I get them over and over as well. I have seen streams get them. Blizzard took out the option in their UI not to show them. WHY? I have no idea

It’s very annoying :frowning:

/console scriptErrors 0

At least that’s what a quick Google search told me. I turned off these errors displaying ages ago so I don’t remember for sure if that’s accurate.

Assuming it is, change the 0 to a 1 to turn it back on. 1 is default.

@OP: I suggest you hide lua errors as well. There is no reason to care about them unless the functionality of your addon is breaking or you are getting poor FPS when you know you wouldn’t normally in any given scenario.

But what is it? Like can I fix it?

It will turnoff the error messages only. Copy and paste it into your chat window and hit enter.

Is there a way to fix the LUA error though, or is turning the errors off my only option

If it isn’t addon related only Blizzard can fix it. If an addon is causing them reach out to the author,look for an update, or disable it.

Can you please tell me where the “hide lua errors” is now. I believe blizz took it out.

They did. When they simplified the interface options (god knows why).

Try typing the line I pasted earlier in chat. The ability to hide it isn’t gone, just the easily accessible menu option.

/console scriptErrors 0

(there’s also an addon to get back the stuff they took out of the menus, + some other stuff, but I don’t remember the name because I don’t use it)

Thanks I have and it works until I log then it returns. :disappointed: much appreciated

It’s not on your end. Almost 100% an issue with the addon, which the author has to fix.
That said, the VAST majority of lua errors are trivial and don’t affect much of anything.
Which is why the default is just to hide them so it doesn’t interrupt your gameplay.

Ah, dang. I haven’t seen a lua error in forever, but maybe I’m just not running as many addons as I used to haha.

I dont run many even ElvUI gets them. thanks friend!
