Hello,

I am fairly new to WoW AddOn programming and I am still a novice at LUA coding.
I am having problems creating SavedVariables for my AddOn.

I am trying to save the showIcon and showText states for my AddOn Fubar_ReadyFu, but have been unable to find a solution that works thus far.

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as to how to get my AddOn to save variables correctly.
This is the latest source that I'm working with:

Ace2 and FuBarPlugin-2.0 aren't really supported anymore. At first glance your code looks fine but if there's an issue in Ace2 or FuBarPlugin causing this it most likely won't get fixed.

Those are really the only two things that I need to save.
Everything else in the AddOn works properly.

This is how my SavedVariables file gets saved currently.

RaadyFuDB = nil

Thanks Torhal,

Correcting the .toc file fixed the problem.
I can't believe I didn't catch that.

Logic errors are the single hardest errors to debug.

...in a language without strict data types, where everything is declared/defined on first use and contained in the global scope by default.

Touché.
