πŸ”΅ Describe the bug:
I added a lower case n to the repeat value of 10 for macro /cast dark transformation.

πŸ”΅ To reproduce: (Steps to reproduce the behavior)

  1. Go to your macro with /cast dark transformation in it
  2. Click on enable on Repeat
  3. Set Repeat value to 10n
  4. LUA error is presented ( I clicked off as I thought it was one off, but I can now not use GSE so cannot get it back)

πŸ”΅ The error:
Paste the error message in this blockquote.

πŸ”΅ Expected behavior:
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

πŸ”΅ GSE.lua file:
Please provide your GSE.lua file or the export string for the specific macro that is causing an issue.

  • To find the GSE.lua file:
  1. First, make sure you have enabled the "File Name Extensions" checkbox in Explorer (View tab)
  2. Browse to C:\path\to\wow\_retail_\WTF\Account\YourAccountName\SavedVariables\ or /path/to/WoW/_retail_/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/SavedVariables
  3. Copy the GSE.lua file to your Desktop

GSE.lua.txt

  1. Rename this copy to GSA.lua.txt
  2. Then just drag it here in your message
  • Note: If you do not include your GSE.lua file you are wasting your time and mine. 90% of the time, the first thing I will ask for is "Can you please upload your GSE.lua file?". This file is needed with the error to work out Why that error occured for you.

You need to use Raw Edit to fix that and change the n to a number for that action. I can fix this relatively easily but it will be in the alpha and won’t get to the stable build till I finish it.

If you grab the 3.2.24-PatronBuild from Discord

This was all to alert of the issue more than addressing my file personally. Now that I have mine working again I am personally good :) I will slow down with typing and stop putting N's in the Numeric fields!

Fresh install will only put you back where you are now.

The brute force thing to do is /gse forceclean.

This will however wipe all sequences for that class so export the other ones first to notepad.

Well Of course I had to try to delete it, well it deleted the macro but now will not save. sigh I fear a fresh install is in my future :(
update, after a reload it now lets me save (after I deleted the offending macro!

Understood, I updated from the current Curseforge version 3.2.24

[GSE-3.2.24-13-g068b174-PatronBuild]
downloaded from your github

commented

additional context, it breaks GSE it seems, will no longer save and under the new Patreon build seems to lock up wow entirely :(

GSE builds work as 3.2.24 < stable. In contrast 3.2.24-13 is an alpha test build that is still work in progress code. It’s 13 changes since 3.2.24 and when it’s finished would be 3.2.25

commented

This has been fixed and will be part of the next alpha
