Same behavior when casting a teleport spell as a mage.

At a glance, GetSpellLink and C_SpellBook.GetSpellLinkFromSpellID both seem to have been renamed/moved/removed. :(

Both have been removed with 11.0.0 release.

To fix the Lua error:

  1. Open Monitor.lua file.
  2. Edit the following lines of code:
  • Line 223: Change tagSpellLink = GetSpellLink(spellID) to tagSpellLink = C_Spell.GetSpellLink(spellID)
  • Line 233: Change tagSpellLink = GetSpellLink(parentSpell) to tagSpellLink = C_Spell.GetSpellLink(parentSpell)
  • Line 267: Change link = GetSpellLink(extraSpellID) to link = C_Spell.GetSpellLink(extraSpellID)

Should be fixed in 5.3

Unfortunately still present in 5.3. (I've no idea whether comments on closed issues will notify @Caedilla )

28x RSA/Tools/Monitor.lua:237: attempt to call global 'GetSpellLink' (a nil value)
[string "@RSA/Tools/Monitor.lua"]:237: in function `ProcessSpell'
[string "@RSA/Tools/Monitor.lua"]:452: in function <RSA/Tools/Monitor.lua:413>

Locals:
InCombatSkipped

The same error is also reported on line 271. Both locations are trying to call the old function.

I've been playing with this change locally; it bubbles out the old-versus-new decision to only running once, at load, for the entire file, rather than repeatedly on each call. So far no problems:
