Auctionator not reading LUA file

[Michael-Cooney]

What version(s) of WoW are you using?

Retail

What version of Auctionator?

Auctionator-292

What isn't working? What was supposed to happen?

When logging on after updating, all my settings and history from the LUA file are gone. I also get a splash screen with the improvement history of the app ("Welcome to Auctionator") that starts with 10.1.6, even though we're into 11.2.0. When I view the version number of Auctionator in the game and on Curse, both say version 292. When I exited, it created a new LUA file that was only 4 KB. So it clearly wasn't reading in the existing LUA file.

I've deleted the new LUA and put back backups I had (of both Auctionator.lua and Auctionator.lua.bak), but the app keeps not seeing them and thinking the game version is 10.1.6.

Are you experiencing any lua errors

The game isn't giving me any errors. It's just not reading my existing LUA file, and since it thinks there is none, it generates a new one after exiting the game.

Anything else?

No response

There's something corrupt in your old lua file, which is why it isn't being read.
