Armory

133 - Mail expire errors

Before you start: did you check if there is a newer version? There might be an alpha release that already addresses your issue. Please check http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/armory/files.
Using v9.9.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Delete Armory.lua
2. Log on each character on my account; open mail, professions, etc. I'm not sure if the problem is after logging on all characters or certain ones.
3. Wait until mail expire warning triggered.
4. Type "/ar check"
5. The text in the chat edit box does not go away, and the error detailed below appears.

If you repeat the steps above after logging in again, do you get the same problem or was it a one-time event?
As mentioned above, it will happen again after logging in my characters and typing "/ar check".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See above.

What version and language of WoW and what version of Armory are you using?
WoW live version and Armory v9.9.1

Do you have an error log of what happened?

Please provide any additional information below.

This started several months ago.
The only thing I have found to resolve it is to delete armory.lua and log on every character one by one to rebuild the data, which is getting a little frustrating and it just happens again once the data is rebuilt.

    Thanks, alas both files don't cause the error. I'll put some general check in place to prevent this error from happening. It will be part of the next alpha. In case you get the error in the mean time please give me your data file. I still like to know what is causing it.

    I couldn't figure out how to attach a file to a PM, but I attached it to this ticket. I attached both the lua and the lua.bak.

    Maybe it was one particular item. Can you attach you Armory.lua.bak to a PM? Hopefully it is still in there and I can find the cause.

    I "accidentally" became rid of the error. It didn't fix the cause, but at least the error stopped (until next time?). Today I was logging on & off & on repeatedly among several characters on one realm, shuffling some mats around for one character's profession. During this process I removed mail from a couple that had mail expiring warnings, and also visited the bank for a couple that didn't have the bank data in Armory yet. Somewhere during all of this, the error stopped. Whether it was simply because there are no more expiring mail or what, I don't know. Maybe as soon as more mail is about to expire the error will return. In any case, I rid of the error without having to delete the lua.

    Seems like the item name is missing. Since you are saying that this started a few months ago, I assume something has changed at Blizzard's side in the mean time. I didn't have an account for 7 months so I didn't notice. What does seem to have changed is that item data is not kept in cache anymore between sessions (formely only a new patch cleared the cache, now it happens everytime the game is started). I have to see if I use an API method with mail scanning that is influenced by this.
