Issue with CHAT_MSG_ADDON

On the TBC beta, it seems like sending addon messages isn't working properly.

I might be just doing something wrong.

When I am sending the addon chat msg, I am triggering my event. When my party member sends it, the event is not triggered.

Here is the code for my frame.

Code:

local function CHAT_MSG_ADDON_CALLBACK(prefix, msg, type, sender)

    print("Chat message addon callback triggered!")

    print("prefix: " .. prefix)

    print("msg: " .. msg)

    print("type: " .. type)

    print("sender: " .. sender)

end



local function FrameEventCallback(event, ...)

    if (event == "CHAT_MSG_ADDON") then

        CHAT_MSG_ADDON_CALLBACK(...)

    end

end



local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

f:SetScript("OnEvent", 

function(self, event, ...)

    FrameEventCallback(event, ...)

end)



f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_ADDON")

Here is the code being used to trigger the event.

Code:

/run C_ChatInfo.SendAddonMessage("TEST EVENT", "Some Value")

When I run it, I see the message in chat just like i'd expect. When my party member runs it, I see nothing.

Any ideas?

Did you register your prefix with C_ChatInfo.RegisterAddonMessagePrefix()?

Also if you don't specify a channel, C_ChatInfo.SendAddonMessage() sends in PARTY. For testing, you might want to try SAY.

Right, the intention was to send over party and that's why I did not pass anything in for the party/target parameters.

I did not know about registering the addon prefix. That fixed it. Thanks!
