[Classic] programatically adding data via a loop
 
I am trying to add, via a loop, color settings to my options table. I'll post the error first, then my Core.lua, which has my defaults table, then my Options.lua which calls the loop.

The call to add to options is in Options.lua, line 252, which in turn should add to the table starting on line 10 of the same file. The base table is defined in Core.lua line 24.

For reference, I am using the "magic key" method in AceDB-3.0, example posted here.

My question is: how is this nil, when I define it in Core.lua?

I guess this line is the key.

There are two "magic" keys you can use in the default table.
I guess the metatable of the db works only based on the default table. ( I guess because metatables are magic for me ;) )

In this case, P["EPDBC"] = {} is the table with the defaults. The table P is the ElvUI equivalent to
Code:

local defaults = {
    profile = {
    }
}

Code:

options.args.reputationBar["**"][i] = options.args.reputationBar["**"][i]
I don't know Ace but setting and getting(reading) would be two different things (metatables). This statement is doing both.

Does Ace have a metatable for the get? The magic keys link just describes the set.

The magic keys replace requested keys that don't already exist based on the "*" and "**" entries in your defaults table. You cannot directly access the "**" sub-table in the defaults table via a table that inherits from the defaults table.

A-ha! In that case, instead of rewriting to figure that out, I just created the reputation colours manually in the options table. After all, there are only eight of them, no big deal.
