GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT") broken for WotLK Classic 3.4.3?

GetCompanionInfo seems broken when getting mount information on WotLK 3.4.3. The following snippet works:

Lua Code:

for i=1,GetNumCompanions("CRITTER") do
    local creatureID, creatureName, creatureSpellID, icon, issummoned = GetCompanionInfo("CRITTER", i);
    print(creatureID, creatureSpellID, creatureName, icon, issummoned)
end

However, this returns all nil values:

Lua Code:

for i=1,GetNumCompanions("MOUNT") do
    local creatureID, creatureName, creatureSpellID, icon, issummoned = GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT", i);
    print(creatureID, creatureSpellID, creatureName, icon, issummoned)
end

My addon's code is very similar to the snippet above and used to work fine until 3.4.3.

The odd thing is that in Interface_Wrath/FrameXML/PetPaperDollFrame.lua there's:

Lua Code:

function PetPaperDollFrame_OnLoad (self)
    self:RegisterEvent("PET_UI_UPDATE");
    self:RegisterEvent("PET_BAR_UPDATE");
 
    ...
 
    PetPaperDollFrameCompanionFrame.mode = "CRITTER";
    PetPaperDollFrameCompanionFrame.idMount = GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT", 1);

Any ideas are more than welcome! Thanks!!

I suspect this is one of those areas where they pulled in the retail version of the Collections system rather than grab out the old classic version.

I'm gonna see if I can simulate that for loop with the new functionality in 3.4.3 but I've not touched this part of the API before so in the mean time ... here's the warcraft.wiki ( formerly known as wowpedia rofl ) for what I think they have replaced it with.

Yep, this seems to be working as I thought. Here's the lua and toc for a quick test addon

Lua Code:

local function CheckMounts()
    local mountIDs = C_MountJournal.GetMountIDs()
    
    for i = 1, #mountIDs do
        local name, spellID, icon, isActive, isUsable, sourceType, isFavorite, isFactionSpecific, faction, shouldHideOnChar, isCollected, mountID = C_MountJournal.GetMountInfoByID(i)
        print(mountID,name,isCollected,sourceType,spellID,icon,isActive)
    end
end
 
local function OnEvent(self,event,...)    
    if event == "ADDON_LOADED" then
        CheckMounts()
    elseif event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then
        --CheckMounts()
    end
end
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
f:SetScript("OnEvent",OnEvent)

Thanks to your post, I was able to fix my addon!
