[FIXED] Error on Login: TRP2_Auras_Categorie

Hi, on login, I get an error message on screen saying:

Total RP 2
An error occurred during the loading of the addon.  The addon won't work correctly.

In the chat tab, there is more information:

Erreur:
1 : false (boolean )
2 : Interface\AddOns=totalRP2\totalRP2_Localisation.lua:2781: attempt to index global 'TRP2_Auras_Categorie' (a nil value) ( string )

I'm using version 1019, WoW patch 5.4.  I'm also using Linux and wine.  I've tested on two different machines (though highly similar setups on both).

Thanks!

With the latest update, I stopped getting the original bug (about Auras_Categorie), and started getting this:

On another machine, i had a similar, yet different message. The style was still the same - accessing a global that was nil. This is also the same as the original error.

I looked into the .toc files, and noticed that all of them depend on totalRP2, and totalRP2 depends on all of them. I'm new to AddOns, so I do not know if this is okay.

My hunch is that this circular dependency isn't being handled properly, and sometimes the totalRP2 module/addon gets loaded before the others. In the case of the error pasted above, totalRP2_Language probably isn't loaded yet, so TRP2_CheckForLanguage is still undefined. Though if you look at the list of loaded AddOns, totalRP2_Language is listed under the addon. Perhaps it is partially loaded, but not parsed?

Anyway, I modifed all of the .toc files in each sub-directory/sub-addon of TRP2, so that none of them list totalRP2 as a dependency. After a restart of WoW (since I changed toc files), TRP2 loaded with no problems on either of my machines.

Perhaps Blizzard changed their handling of circular dependencies? Or the dependency resolution process is somehow choosing a different order on my machine? I'm running Linux/Wine, so perhaps there is something there too.

What are your thoughts about how AddOn circular dependencies should work? Could you change TRP2 so that the submodules don't depend on the main one?

Thanks.
