Tables vs Strings issue
As you can see from the screen shot that I have tables populating instead of strings. I have looked and I can't seem to figure out why it's showing a table instead of a string. Can I get another set of eyes on this please? Here is the relevant parts:
Code:
local LibStub = LibStub
MDH.L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("MisDirectionHelper", true)
local L = MDH.L
local icon = LibStub("LibDBIcon-1.0")
local _G = _G
local MDHText = "MDH"
local channels = {["RAID"] = _G.RAID, ["PARTY"] = _G.PARTY, ["WHISPER"] = _G.WHISPER}
local misdtarget
local GetSpellInfo = C_Spell.GetSpellInfo

-- Fetch spell info and store as strings
local imd = { name = tostring(select(1, GetSpellInfo(34477)) or "Unknown Spell"), id = 34477 }
local itt = { name = tostring(select(1, GetSpellInfo(57934)) or "Unknown Spell"), id = 57934 }
local iua = { name = tostring(select(1, GetSpellInfo(51672)) or "Unknown Spell"), id = 51672 }

local hiconinfo = {
    [imd.name] = {"Interface\\Icons\\Ability_Hunter_Misdirection", 151},
}
local hicons = {[151] = imd.name}
local iconm = {
    [151] = "Ability_Hunter_Misdirection",
    [454] = "Ability_Rogue_TricksOftheTrade",
    [457] = "Ability_Rogue_UnfairAdvantage",
}
local riconinfo = {[itt.name] = {"Interface\\Icons\\Ability_Rogue_TricksOftheTrade", 454},}
local ricons = {[454] = itt.name, [457] = iua.name}

local callpet = {

Lua Code:
  1. local imd = { name = tostring(select(1, GetSpellInfo(34477)) or "Unknown Spell"), id = 34477 }
With the move to C_Spell, things like C_Spell.GetSpellInfo now return a table of spell information rather than x number of returns containing the information

Code:
Name = "SpellInfo",
Type = "Structure",
Fields =
{
	{ Name = "name", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
	{ Name = "iconID", Type = "fileID", Nilable = false, Documentation = { "Icon for this spell; If spell has been overriden, this may be the icon for the overriding spell; See originalIconID for spell's non-overriden icon" } },
	{ Name = "originalIconID", Type = "fileID", Nilable = false },
	{ Name = "castTime", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
	{ Name = "minRange", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
	{ Name = "maxRange", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
	{ Name = "spellID", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
},
Lua Code:
  1. local spellInfo = GetSpellInfo(34477)
  2. local imd = { name = spellInfo and spellInfo.name or "Unknown Spell"), id = 34477 }
