E8003 error

Unknown event or message name

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

An event or message name given to wowlua:events (on, once, @event, @bucket, onUnit, watchUnit, offAll, send) is checked against the game's events and the messages your addon declares. This name is neither, usually a typo or an event that was removed in a patch. onUnit, @unitEvent and watchUnit also take only game events, not messages; send takes only declared messages.

Fix the spelling, or declare your own message with declare message NAME(…). In split flavor mode an event missing from one flavor is reported for that flavor.

Example

import on from "wowlua:events"on("PLAYER_LOGN", function() print("hi") end)

import on from "wowlua:events"on("PLAYER_LOGIN", function() print("hi") end)

The compiler reports it like this:
