Problem Loading a profile

[Uitat]

ok before patch 6.1 the code ran just fine, accessing the DB for SLDT perfectly. but now i get this error

1x UItat\Core.lua:191: attempt to call method 'CopyProfile' (a nil value)
UItat\Core.lua:191: in function `Generic_Setup'
UItat\Core.lua:76: in function `HUNTER_OnClick'
[string "*:OnClick"]:1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

now i wiped out all my gibberish information so the error now is at line 55 in this code instead of 191

the saved variable for SLDT is
SLDataText and the DB inserted into it is SLDTDB

could use some help here.
thank you in advance for your info and helps

here is my code

function Generic_Setup()
    SetCVar("useuiScale", 1);
    SetCVar("uiScale", 0.64);
    SetCVar("enableCombatText", 0);
    SetCVar("CombatDamage", 0);
    SetCVar("CombatHealing", 0);
    SetCVar("fctSpellMechanics", 0);
    SetCVar("displaySpellActivationOverlays", 0);
    SetCVar("consolidateBuffs", 0);
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Broker2FuBar") then
        Broker2FuBar = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("Broker2FuBar",true);
        Broker2FuBar.db:CopyProfile("UItat - Server");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Outfitter") then
        Outfitter.Settings.Options.HideMinimapButton = 1;
        Outfitter.Settings.Options.DisableItemComparisons = 1;
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("AtlasLoot") then
--      AtlasLootLoader.db.MiniMapButton.hide = true;
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Castbars") then
        Castbars = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("Castbars",true);
        Castbars.db:CopyProfile("Default");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Proximo") then
        Proximo.db:CopyProfile("UItat");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Broker_Auditor") then
        AuditorBroker.db.profile.hideTotalInBar = true;
        AuditorBroker.db.global.LibDBIcon.hide = true;
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Auditor2") then
        Auditor.db.profile.autoRepair = true;
        Auditor.db.realm.sellGreys = true;
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("InlineAura") then
        InlineAura = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("InlineAura",true);
        InlineAura.db.profile.hideCountdown = true; 
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Recount") then
        Recount.db:CopyProfile("UItat");
        Recount.MainWindow:Hide();
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Raven") then
        Raven.db:SetProfile("Default");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Dominos") then
        Dominos:CopyProfile("UItat");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("Omen") then
        Omen.db:CopyProfile("UItat - Server");
    end
    if IsAddOnLoaded("SLDataText") then
        SLDataText = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("SLDataText",true);
        SLDTDB:CopyProfile("Uitat - Server");
    end
end

Err, are you sure SLDTDB:CopyProfile exists? put a print(SLDTDB:CopyProfile) after line 54. If it prints nil the function does not exist (yet) when it is called.

ok i did that and i just get another Error

2x [string "print(SLDTDB:CopyProfile)"]:1: function arguments expected near ')'
[C]: in function `RunScript'
FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2091: in function `?'

now technically it should exist, as you see up there CopyProfile is used multiple times before i call on the SLDTDB

[Banknorris]

Oops sorry I meant to say

print(SLDTDB.CopyProfile) --dot, not colon

I am probably not qualified to answer/help then because in my head each CopyProfile is a different function (each function is an element of a different object, they just have the same name). Same as in Banknorris.bank_account.money < Uitat.bank_account.money. Both money are money but my money is not your money.

I think you're looking for

SLDataText.db:CopyProfile()

Edit:
You shouldn't need

SLDataText = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("SLDataText",true);

as it's already instantiated in SLDT as a frame.

[Uitat]

ok issue solved, i commented out a little and voila'

if IsAddOnLoaded("SLDataText") then
--  SLDataText = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("SLDataText",true);
 
    SLDataText.db:CopyProfile("Uitat - Server");
end

oh and i edited the DB when i was done to solidify my Settings as to easily pick them out from testing toons and named it to Uitat - Server

I'm curious why you are loading Broker2Fubar when Fubar doesn't exist anymore? It has been dead for years.

i use a fubar dummy to use

Battleground fu

but i should rewrite that part of the code to be more up to date and remove whitespace on things that arent used anymore

How is that even still working, with all of the changes to battlegrounds and other assorted related systems since the AddOn was last updated... in 2008?
