Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

Description

• I am experiencing this issue on: 5.17.3 and 5.17.2
• This weakaura still works instantly and flawlessly on 5.17.1
• Retail WoW

WeakAura in question: https://wago.io/vToRxC78V
Code used by an addon that does the same is identical: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/hideactionbaranimations/files

Specifically, the hiding of the castbar inside the spells' buttons is not working.

The way the weakaura works is
Trigger -> Always active
Actions -> On Init -> the code

I don't really know what else I can do but describe the issue and indicate the versions it still did, and no longer, works in. I'm sorry about the kind of poor title but I didn't know how else to describe this. If you require anything else please let me know.

GIFs of the problem (I hate the in-button castbar):

This isn't a bug in WeakAuras. Your code is trying to modify your action buttons, and whatever issue you have is surely somewhere in that code.

Then why does it work in 5.17.1 and not anymore in 5.17.2 onwards?

A difference in when or why init runs is not a bug. The gurantees on init code is just that it runs before any other code from an aura, nothing else. And you have provided no indication that this is no longer true.

to wit, we did change the rules on init scripts to be lazier on when they run, for performance reasons. you'll need to do some research to get your custom code to run accurately again. Or, you just use the addon you since apparently that does the same thing.

That must be it, then! Thanks for chiming in @emptyrivers , Infus' response is a bit too technical for me because I'm not very good at this so I was waiting for our guild's coder guy to log on to help me out.

you'll need to do some research to get your custom code to run accurately again.

Do you have a jumping off point for me, by any chance? Perhaps a weakaura you know of that might've been impacted by that, that changed their code so it works again?

Or, you just use the addon you since apparently that does the same thing.

I guess I could, if the "lazy init scripts rules" are there to stay and intentional and so on (I don't really know what this means). It's just so odd to me that the other 3 parts of that weakaura still work, it's just that one small part that doesn't.
