API:SetCheckForCircularDependencies

UI Lua API · Interface functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Turns load-order tracking for UI module initialization on or off. With it on, circular-dependency errors include the load order.

SetCheckForCircularDependencies(enabled)

Arguments

enabled: boolean – true to track the load order while modules are initialized.

Nothing.

The flag is read by ModulesInitializeAllEnabled and ModuleInitialize. When it is set, the client keeps a list of the modules it is currently initializing.
Circular dependencies are detected either way. The flag only changes the error text: with tracking on, the message Error Loading UiMod %s: Circular Dependency detected with %s. Load Order = %s ends with the chain of module names in parentheses, joined by ->. With tracking off it ends with Not Tracked.
The flag is off when the client starts. GetCheckForCircularDependencies returns the current value.
enabled must be a real boolean. Passing nil or a number raises an Invalid Parameters error.
The stock UI never calls this function.

None besides the Invalid Parameters argument check.

A minimal example built from the signature:

SetCheckForCircularDependencies( true )
ModulesInitializeAllEnabled()
