Why an addon has an empty table on game load - Lua/Addon Creation

Guides UI and Macro

hi all,

I’ve started working on building an addon but I’m seeing some strange behaviour, mostly when the game loads and the character logs in (events PLAYED_LOGIN and ADDON_LOADED) I see empty tables, even though my functions to trigger loading of the data are pulled.

This mostly happens when I use Exit Game, or have been logged out for a long time eg overnight. I’m using events PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD and PLAYER_LOGOUT to save data manually, although I’ve not confirmed it I believe saving is done without needing to call out a savedata function?

If anyone has any thoughts on this behaviour or how to accurately debug it I would be so grateful.

Would probably help if you post the relevant code blocks (stick them between ```code``` so the forums don’t smartquote etc.)
