Lua Error when trying to use professions

Anyone else getting the Blizzard_TradeSkillUi Lua error when trying to use a profession? I don’t know if its on Blizzards end or mine but it didn’t start until MoP prepatch.

Ive gotten it on my 2nd account but not my main account. I hit close and it doesnt come back up.

If you have atlas loot enabled disable it. Even though it says mop in curseforge it hasnt been updated since may.

/console scriptErrors 0

Turns off dumb lua errors.

Change the 0 to a 1 to put them back on (not sure why anyone would want them on)

Thanks guy! It worked.

Praise the sun.

I develop addons, so rather than turn them off, I use BugGrabber. Turning off lua errors is a terrible idea because even though you can’t see the UI error, it still happens and your game could crash eventually.

Nah I been doin it for years.

The addons all have nonsense lua errors you can ignore.

If the error repeats, you put your game stability at risk.

No you dont.

An error can repeat thousands of times and crash your game.

Having them on by default is probably a “terrible” idea, too. Most people don’t care, and don’t read what they say, so they are a useless distraction.

In a lot of cases, it’s an API call when the API has changed. Maybe the developer will fix it. In the (extremely rare) situation that an addon script is causing a game to crash, idk that having errors turned on would be of any help to pretty much anybody who doesn’t know what they mean.
