Help with Slash Command implementation

I'm creating a simple addon that shows information like XP to level up on the chat. It's called by typing /minXP. I have the following code (using an .xml to be able to use OnLoad), but the game keeps throwing an unknown command error each time I call it.

Code:

local function cmdHandler(msg, editbox) 

        showXP();

end



function MinimalXP_OnLoad()

        SLASH_MINXP1= "/minXP";

        SlashCmdList["minimalXP"] = cmdHandler;        

end

Here is a basic outline of a pure Lua implementation of custom slash commands.

Note: The numbers go from 1 to n.
Note: For this implementation, I have used an anonymous function, but you can certainly point to an already existing one (showXP in your case).
Note: FUNCTIONNAME is arbitrary; make sure it is unique. I typically name them: "CLAMRAIDLOCKOUTS" or "CLAMXP", et cetera.

Code:

SLASH_FUNCTIONNAME1 = "/command"

SLASH_FUNCTIONNAME2 = "/othercommand"

SLASH_FUNCTIONNAMEn = "/anothercommand"

SlashCmdList["FUNCTIONNAME"] = function()

    -- Code here.

end

Put it that way, still getting the error :(

Code:

SLASH_MINXP1= "/minXP";

        SlashCmdList["MINXP"] = showXP();

Remove the () from your function name.
You need the function reference not a function call.
