Description
Seemingly new in the 5.10.0 update from today (07 FEB 2024) is an error where SavedVariables are being initialized with 'nil' instead of a table:
Message: ...erface/AddOns/WeakAuras/Libs/Archivist/Archivist.lua:79: Attempt to initialize Archivist SavedVariables with a "nil" instead of a table.

Error occurs even when WA is the only Addon enabled, including when all of the dependent Addons are disabled, and does not occur when WA is not enabled, regardless of what other addons are enabled.

Yes, this is the only error that occurs.
There are no SavedVariables in the WeakAurasArchive.lua file:
That's the source code, not the saved variables. The savedvariables are found at WTF/Account/<account #>/SavedVariables/WeakAurasArchive.lua
is that the only error you're getting? Also, can you upload your WeakAurasArchive saved variables, please.
That's the whole contents of the file WTF/Account/Accountname/SavedVariables/WeakAurasArchive.lua … all I did was zip it up and attach it.
this should be fixed for the next release, but for a workaround you can do right now, run this macro:
/run WeakAurasArchive = WeakAurasArchive or {}
