[lateny]

Same problem. Tried to import some icons, got error and now it says LUA error and WA dont work. I deleted WA from interface, but it still doesn't help. Every time when i install NEW FRESH version (sometimes tried different versions) the error appears again. WTF?

[lateny]

and nobody dont give a **** to help us, bro. i dont understand why this **** isnt working

[Neric]

You can update your WA to 4.1.2 and see what happens: https://github.com/NoM0Re/WeakAuras-WotLK

Save your WTF folder first of course. If it doesn't work, you have to delete the imports by hand -> https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=461985

[lateny]

For me it helped. thank you bro

[Neric]

For the record: The link above doesn't lead to 4.1.2 anymore, because NoM0re upgraded it to 5.19.1. While nice in theory, this breaks a lot of WAs. So method 2, which is editing the file in the WTF-folder, is the recommended to fix bricked WAs.

[arcsperia]

You probably imported weakaura that isnt supported and you broke the addon. You can only fix it by deleteing weakaura files in wtf > account > youraccountname > saved variables and delete all weakauras files. As Neric said, NoM0re backported weakauras from classic, some weakauras are broken, some are working perfectly fine.

Because you imported an WeakAura String from a reworked legion client (WOTLK Classic 3.4.x) which you should not do. The only solution you can do is to go into the WTF-Folder and search for all .lua and .lua.bak files and delete them and start over.

[Neric]

NoM0re backported weakauras from classic, some weakauras are broken, some are working perfectly fine.

Hmm, does this mean we can import WAs from classic too despite the differences in API functions? I could try it out ofc, but maybe you have done it already.

As i said, some will work, some will pop errors and some will break your weakaura addon, before trying anything make a backup of your WTF folder
