Question Back in teso after 6 years, why my addon don't work anymore ?

Hi,

I have created an addon some years ago (https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...tyTracker.html) when imperial city start in eso, it was a simple tracker for some items (and it seems that those item are not usefull, or lootable anymore). I try to install it and i now have some error. I would like to understand what is this bug but i am lost.

Thks to anyone who will help a dev to ride again the eso api

Some parts of the API are modified with each release.

Welcome back.
All you can find about the API andhow to delevelop addons is exaplained here, so you might want to read it like an addon beginner to get back in.

Hope it helps you.

As you did not show any error messages of your addon we cannot say "in general" how to fix that.
Best appraoch is:
Remove embedded libraries like LibAddonMenu etc. in subfolders (e.g. "/libs/") and add them to your txt's file
## DependsOn
tag instead.
Add the needed libraries to your addon description so users know what to download together with your addon.
https://wiki.esoui.com/Libraries#Pro..._but_how.3F.29

Remove LibStub
https://wiki.esoui.com/Libraries#Lib...ersion_control
usage like explained here:
https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9149
-> Below headlines "If you see dependencies in subfolders (e.g. "libs") of addons" and "If the addon is old and still uses "LibStub" (an obsolete library for versioning)"

If you get any particular error mesasge feel free to visit us here https://gitter.im/esoui/esoui
and post it, to ask for assistance.


Use the code tags around error messages
Code:
```
some info here
```
and these around lua code

Code:
```lua
lua code here
```
around it please.
