Versions

(list all versions where you have replicated the bug)

• Godot: Godot 4.6-dev6
• GUT: 9.5.0
• OS: Windows 11

Since I updated to Godot 4.6-dev6, I am getting the following error when trying to run GuT:
Trying to assign value of type 'Nil' to a variable of type 'bool'.
on

Gut/addons/gut/gut_loader.gd

Line 35 in 7ed501f

were_addons_disabled = ProjectSettings.get(str(WARNING_PATH, 'exclude_addons'))

Looking at the ProjectSettings doc at HEAD I can see that the exclude_addons setting has been removed:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_projectsettings.html
whereas it is there in 4.5:

I saw this yesterday but haven't fixed it yet. It looks like they changed the settings so you can now configure any directory to be excluded/included.

Until I fix this on the 4_6 branch of GUT, you can set the variable were_addons_disabled to false and remove the rest (in the file you linked).

This has been fixed on the 4_6 branch. You can download it here: https://github.com/bitwes/Gut/archive/refs/heads/godot_4_6.zip

This will remain open until Godot 4.6 is released and the 4_6 branch is merged into main.
