Describe the bug
Clicking on the Update icon next to aura should bring up selection dialog box to choose how to upgrade the aura.
However it throws the following error
Do you have an error log of what happened?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- After running weakaura companion to see some updates, go to game open WA (/wa)
- Click on WA upgrade icon
- BugSack shows the above error
Screenshots
This error also appears next to any icon (not group) that I click on after closing/opening WA's option window.
Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?
I did but since BugSack was disabled, I couldn't see the error message, However the warning icon with Forbidden function or table: loaded still happens.
I even deleted all my weakauras and tried it with one aura only.
EDIT: Having only WA, BugSack, BugGrabber throws the controlledChildren error.
Which version of WeakAuras are you using?
3.0.5
Are you on World of Warcraft Classic or Retail?
- Classic
- Retail
Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
I believe so
Additional Info
Not sure if it's related to this bug, but updating the auras (that don't throw this error) by clicking on update icon is useless since the next time I login all of them are marked again with the update icon!
Here you go: https://gofile.io/d/AkEaVn
The url (https://wago.io/BJqUUcobz/78) in the error is for a WA that I am pretty sure I had deleted a long time ago and don't have it in my current set!
I am also getting this the 1st time I open the config window after logging in:
(And nothing is listed after the warning message)
I can't reproduce the issue with your settings. Only the "Multi-Class Power Orbs " aura was outdated and updating it worked correctly.
I looked at the relevant code and can't see anything that should match.
Are you sure that this is the right error message?
Also which auras are showing a update icon for you, and which one are you clicking to update?
In my settings, do you see an aura for Battleshout Tracker 2? for me it shows as needing update. (I am re-attaching my WeakAuras.lua just in case)
That's the one causing the nil error when I click on its update icon.
That aura was part of "Titania's Fury Warrior" aura group, I had moved the Battleshout tracker out of the group and then deleted the entire group. So my guess is that WA Companion sees the update for entire group but since I have only that icon it causes the issue with Transmission.lua when trying to import the update for entire group
With the weakaura linked in this post, I see updates only for the Battleshout Tracker 2.
Do you think resetting Compatnion's cache can remedy the issue?
- How serious the
Forbiddenerror is? Affects frame rate or performance of WeakAuras in general or causes crash... I am asking because some of Zen Tracker auras are pretty useful in dungeons. - Ok

You seems to have 3 bugs:
-
Forbidden function or table: loaded: deleting Zen Tracker and all associated auras should fix it -

This is a duplicate of WeakAuras/WeakAuras-Companion#68
Workaround is to ignore all updates for this aura from the right click menu. -
