Click() action not working in 5.18.1

[hollo6]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

Description

I have several WAs that use :Click() (had to convert long macros to these) and they are now throwing a LUA error and not working.
(I know it looks like it is an issue with tdBattlePetScript but it is not, I have checked that the WA runs when I press the key and also the action it is supposed to do is working if not called from the WA.)
This is a new issue in version 5.18.1, I rolled back to 5.18.0 and it still works.

I got this issue with only WeakAuras enabled

Locals:

}
event = "ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED"
events = <table> {
}

Reproduction Steps

1. create a macro that runs a WA, mine is just this: /run WeakAuras.ScanEvents("MACRO_TD")
2. create a WA that runs a function when above macro is pressed. I tested with my WA pruned to only this: tdBattlePetScriptAutoButton:Click()
3. press the above macro (I have only tested with this one so this particular repro needs td addon installed and being in a pet battle)

[InfusOnWoW]

That's entirely custom code and has nothing to do with WA.

[hollo6]

But it's still working in 5.18.0 and not in 5.18.1 ?

[InfusOnWoW]

Ah, someone pointed to the change that broke your aura. This is an unintentional breakage, which we aren't going to fix.

You can simply create a macro that directly runs "tdBattlePetScriptAutoButton:Click()", there's zero need to use WA for that.

WA is not meant to be used like you are using it.

[hollo6]

I have to use these WAs for macros that wouldn't fit in 255 characters and I have no way of shortening them further.
I just trimmed this one down to this one function to test and show that this is where the problem is.

[InfusOnWoW]

That's not an inteded use case for WA.

[hollo6]

Then could you pelase explain how I could click a button with a WA? Or give an example?

[Stanzilla]

As Infus said, you're not supposed to click things with WA, sorry mate.
