Error UI but no addon mentionned

Since the last patch i have this error randomly. /Reloadui clear it until the next.

Any idea what could cause that error?

Thank you

(i use addons but i am not able to guess which one could generate this message)

This error means that function called from some .xml file is not defined. IMHO it is not possible to tell which addon it is from this message. Try to update all addons and if it does not help, you will have to disable addons one by one and find the culprit.

Disable half by half, not one by one.

Thanks for the answer everyone, i will do that tomorrow, but that may not be easy, as this pops up very randomly and sometimes never during a full day.

Lets cross our fingers :P

I usually see that happen when the LUA code of an addon tries to reference an XML element that doesn't exist (usually a mistype/spelling error).

If the error was a result of a typo in the Lua file, the error would be a standard stacktrace, referencing the Lua file with line numbers, etc. This error is a result of an XML file. It may be a typo in a function, trying to call a function before it is available, etc.

So far no luck to find it (i know you gave me some hints with the xml, but i am far from understanding all that means :P)

It seems to happens when i do some alt logging 2 or 3 times in a row, and then its rare, so as it is not a permanent error, i dont know when to remove some addons or not ...

I guess i can live with it, as reloadui works fine to remove it.

Thanks everyone :)

--------------
I went to open each xml file in each addons to see if something happening, and i just had an error it seems for this one and only one. Do you think it could be this ?

Code:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Location: file:///C:/Users/dominique/Documents/Elder%20Scrolls%20Online/live/Addons/MultiCraft/MultiCraft.xml

Line Number 8, Column 66:                                <Slider name="$(parent)Slider" orientation="HORIZONTAL" step=1 inherits="ZO_Slider" enabled="true" mouseEnabled="true" allowDraggingFromThumb="true">
