Angry Minion: Amazing piece of crap: INTERNAL ERROR madness

First off, I'll say that I appreciate the WoW Interface website and have been using it regularly for quite some time.

However...

The current version of the MMOUI Minion is an amazing piece of crap. At one point it actually worked fine. Now it currently has an ever-growing list of addons marked as "Internal Error" when I attempt to update. It started off with this error only on SCT and SCTD, but now this error pops up on a number of addons.

The FAQ on this forum points you to bug report #244 for info on this problem. First off, to even read this bug report, you have to register on the developer page.

Secondly, it offers no useful information as to a fix. It only has a statement from a developer that he "fixed it" on July 1, 2009 and a post from an administrator on July 5th that the bug is marked "resolved."

It is obviously not resolved and the issue is preventing the use of the minion to update addons. It's really making me miss WoWMatrix which just plain worked until WoWInterface and Curse colluded to prevent it from working.

Here is the text of the bug report comments so others do not have to register on the developer page just to see that this unresolved issue has allegedly been 'resolved.'

After looking at your log (thanks!), I'm decently sure this is a rather unique problem.

Do you have -any- other errors with Minion? How many addons report 'Internal Error' when you try to update them? Could you try to update a bunch (that error) and then upload that log?

Melektaus: thanks, that looks like the same error.

Could either one of you upload the config.xml file found in the same directory as the log file?

Done, hope it will help you.

Found the problem. I don't have OSX around so I can't test -- but I think I have identified a solution, too.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you test it. Thanks for the speedy update.

I'm going to test a fix with a few people, and then scan the bug tracker for any other easy fixes and see what else I can do in a short period of time.

I'd like to say to expect a fix within a week, but all of the people with the power to make a release are either away on vacation or incredibly busy.

I am a Mac user and have been having the same problem for weeks now. It makes the minion unusable.

Fixed in r278 (note: not yet released)
