[8.1 14g][Bug] Tabs.lua:53 nil value

[darkancient]

It occurs when a chat tab is selected.

18x nibRealUI\Modules\Chat\Tabs.lua:53: attempt to index local 'tab' (a nil value)
nibRealUI\Modules\Chat\Tabs.lua:53: in function 'UpdateTab'

The next time you see this, could you type into chat

/realdebug Chat_Tabs

then post the output text in a reply (if it's large, please use pastebin)

It happened again today. Currently using version 8.1 r14h
Reproduction info: simply start a pet battle.

Also getting this issue. I installed PetTracker and Rarity so I'm not sure if it's related to them being installed. Right now I just added a return if tab is nil to the ChatTab function and that seems to bypass the error.

Check your PhanxChat settings. There is an option that prevents the pet battle combat log from be created, this is what causes the error.

Well, I'd have to argue that my addon isn't actually causing the error -- your (?) addon shouldn't just assume that someone calling the "make a new chat tab" function always means a new chat tab is actually made.

True, it just wasn't a case that was considered before.

It looks like it's disabled already. Are you saying that when it's disabled the function call happens and it causes it to error since the tab doesn't actually get created?

Correct, an update will be available soon.

Sweet, thanks!

Also I've been creating a bunch of issues on github, not sure if you'd rather I throw them up there or here.

Putting them on github is great, that's why it's there.
