Ace3 DB not initializing?

Sweetsour · 08-26-16, 05:34 PM

After following the various documentation and tutorials on wowace.com, I can't seem to get default values to appear in my saved variables file on a fresh file. This is my code.

Lua Code:

function Auras:OnInitialize()
    local defaults = {
        char = {
            cooldowns = {},
            info = {
                totems = {
                    eShield = {
                    },
                    cBurst = {
                        absorb = 0;
                    }
                }
            },
            aura = {
                minor = {
                    [0] = {
                        WindShear = true,
                        Hex = true,
                    },
                    [1] = {
                        Thunderstorm = true,
                        EarthElemental = true,
                        FireElemental = true,
                        FlameShock = true,
                        EarthShock = true,
                        LavaBurst = true,
                        
                    },
                    [2] = {
                    
                    },
                    [3] = {
                    
                    },
                },
            },
        }
    }
 
    self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("SSA_db",defaults);
end

But this is all that shows up in my saved variables file:

Lua Code:

SSA_db = {
    ["profileKeys"] = {
        ["Sweetsour - Firetree"] = "Sweetsour - Firetree",
    },
}

Hmm, odd. The file shows nothing, but /dump SSA_db shows everything. Yet, a checkbox I'm trying to set to checked/unchecked on load based on the DB values isn't firing.

After working through it, I discovered that I wasn't creating my objects in the correct order.

AceDB doesn't write to file the values that are equal to the defaults, so if you've changed nothing there might not be anything in the file. Although the char table might be there...

Can you show some more code? I don't know when OnInitialize is being called, nor where you are trying to setup the checkbox, so it's impossible to say whether this is intended or no.

I should add that the second object I create in "DrawGroup2" (EartElemental) is being placed outside of the UI that I'm trying to place it in. The first object I create (Thunderstorm) is being placed in the UI group fine.

EDIT: Changing the group's layout to "Flow" seemed to have worked, but it doesn't look like I can control the size of the group now =/

Just updating to let you [all] know that I've switched to AceConfig. Took some time to learn the basics, but I'm definitely finding it easier.

AceConfig is not a replacement/alternative for AceDB...

AceConfig handles the **display** of your options.
AceDB handles the **storage** of your saved variables.

Right, sorry. I was having issues trying to get AceGUI and my AceDB to work together, and the setup of the UI itself seemed tedious. I'm finding it a lot easier to set everything up with AceConfig

This line should be in OnInitialize, and not in your defaults table. Here is the Ace3 tutorial.

Code:

self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("SSA_db", defaults)

I'm not sure what you're talking about -- that line is in the OnInitialize function (from OP's last post) and is not inside the "defaults" table.

It was inside the defaults table when I looked. If the OP has fixed that, then great
