Lua error message

I cant seem to get rid of the Lua error message. ive dont the script you can run and advancedinterfaceopt doesnt work. its quite annoying

Disable your addons one by one till it goes away.

Remove the last add on you disabled when it goes away.

It’s quicker to disable half at a time. If it goes away re-enable half the ones you disabled, if it doesn’t then disable half the ones left.

Repeat until you have the one with the problem.

Disabling one at a time is linear complexity O(n), disabling half is logarithmic complexity O(log n). It’s a lot faster to find it by dividing in half.

I read the error message. Usually it lists the name of the addon, somewhere in the long “error from /this/that/addon_name/blah/blah” list. Then I disable or update that addon.

If the error message doesn’t tell me, I use the above methods of disabling random addons.

Plus some smarts : if the error happened when looking at a tooltip, and I’m using a tooltip addon…maybe I’ll try disabling the tooltip addon first…Hey, it worked! Who’da thunk it?

Of course if you can use some information to narrow it down in a smart manner then do that first! But sometimes there can be complex interactions between addons and you need to do the guessing game.

Is anything actually broken? I think leatrix plus has an option to suppress error messages if you only care about getting rid of the pop-up.
