Lightroom CC: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index a nil value

I have seen a couple of threads on this issue but no real solutions. Has there been a fix for this issue or a better detailed explanation of how to fix? I just upgraded to CC and now I'm stuck unable to export.

I have been receiving this same message when trying to export my finished images. I tried many of the fixes listed in these threads. However, in my case, it turned out to be the catalog that had a problem. I was able to export the images by creating a NEW CATALOG, then importing the images from the original catalog into it, to then export it. Hopefully my sharing this will help someone else. Here are the steps.

File > New Catalog > (name it) Create > the new catalog will then open...

File > Import From Another Catalog > (find original catalog) Double Click to open or click Choose > (check box) Import.
Once the images have completed the import, you may export as you normally would.

I got this error trying to export a batch of 350 photos. However, I was able to export smaller batches of around 10 photos. After some fiddeling, it turned out that 1 of the 350 photos was corrupt.

I received the same error when deleting an image. Catalog took forever to open. Someone on another post suggested that a logitech plugin was a problem for him. Disabled the plugin, but no luck. Uninstalled the plugin and now all is fine. Catalog opens quickly and no error message when deleting an image. I believe the troublesome app is named 'logiopt'.

Thank you for posting this. Lightroom classic was having trouble starting, scrolling was jerky, and I had this error message. I resetted my lightroom preferences and when that didn't work I reinstalled lightroom. So I uninstalled logitech options, with your advice, and everything went back to normal. Computers are weird.

Which operation system do you use? Is your system patched with the actual versions?

I get the following message when launching LR CC:

An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to call field 'token' (a nil value)

I tried most of the fixes suggested but no luck so far.  Otherwise, LR seems to be working ok.

I would love to get rid of the error message thinking something is not going to work when I call on a function in LR CC.

Using Windows 10 operating system.

Do you have installed the latest version?

Do you have installed a third party plugin?
