I was able to fix this issue by adding the missing loop wrapping the code, addon now initializes and works as expected, posting a fix shortly
@Deguello I've posted my fix here: https://github.com/ascott18/TellMeWhen/pull/2308/files

I just tried adding that line, and the addon still won't initialize for me. I think we'll need a full on release for those of us who aren't coders and don't really understand much beyond copy/pasting code where it needs to go. That's the extent of my abilities, and it didn't work for me.
how do we update?
If you don't want to wait on an official update, the quickest fix would be:
-
Find where the plugin is stored on your computer (Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\TellMeWhen)
-
Open the TellMeWhen.lua file in notepad
-
Replace the entire file with the fixed code here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ascott18/TellMeWhen/4e758e46cd2e96f6d25082e9a4a4d72b7f0b9660/TellMeWhen.lua
-
/reload or restart game and it should work again

I changed multiple lines of code, the parts I added are:
for spec = 1, TMW.GetNumSpecializations() do
...
talentInfoQuery.specializationIndex = spec;
...
end
Easiest way would be replacing whole file like I mentioned above

this is amazing - worked instantly - thank you so much
Made the edit and TMW loads for the toon I tried. No reason to think it won’t work for all. Thanks for the quick response.
