[HELP] Error on Show() with patch 4.01

[Zax]

Hello,

Since patch 4.01, several addons cause a LUA error:
"[string "ChatKeysOptName:OnShow"]:1: attempt to index global 'this' (a nil value)"

This error appears when attempting to show a frame with myFrame:Show()

The XML file contains:

<EditBox name="ChatKeysOptName" inherits="InputBoxTemplate"  [...]
  <Scripts>
      <OnShow>
           this:SetText(videSiNul(ChatKeysDatas["buddyName"]));
       </OnShow>
   </Scripts>
</EditBox>

How could I fix this error? I guess the patch introduces a new syntax.

Thanks for your help.

* The global variables this, event and arg1[b], [b]arg2... have been removed. Event handlers and other callbacks must use the appropriate locals. If you have lua installed locally, the command luac -l -p somefile.lua can be useful to search for the GETGLOBAL instruction to find places where code is referencing a global instance of these variables.

If the only error is triggered by the section of XML you posted, you should be able to solve the problem by replacing "this" with "self". If there are other errors occurring, post the sections of code triggering them.
