Bug description: Simcraft Addon not working on warriors

I have a bug with my Warrior where SimCraft (a DPS simulation addon) doesn't work, nothing appears when I type /simc and it does a ticking sound, at first, I thought it was an addon malfunction but when I tried it with my other characters, it worked perfectly, then I removed every item at a time and tried the addon, and found out that it was the artifact weapons that is causing it, I'm not the only one who experienced it others did as well, not saying its warrior related as some warriors had it working perfectly. is there a solution to this or is my character condemned?
this addon is crucial to optimize the character to a higher level.
PS: The first proof image shows the command for the addon typed and BuggGrabber/BugSac detecting it, giving a syntax that I do not understand, the second image is the Addon in question working perfectly after removing the artifact weapons.
here is the syntax that I'm getting :

Well i have similar problem but on monk turns out if you remove weapon you can use simc but it's useless to do without weapon, but if i put weapon happens nothing.

Hello.
I have the same problem with SimCraft on my Nightborne Mage. When I type /simc with an Artifact weapon, the game freezes for a second, but SimCraft does not appear. Without Artifact weapons the addon works as it should. On all my other characters, SimCraft works well with the Artifact weapon.
Only the mage is a newly created character after release 7.3.5, all my other characters were created on 7.1.5 / 7.2.5.

EDIT: Regarding commentary on specializations from others. It doesn't work on any of my mage specializations.

EDIT 07.06.2020: Today I finished the newly created Blood Elf Shadow Priest and it has the same problem. /simc does not work with equiped artifact but without weapon works.

[walid_bb]

Yeah, I just confirmed it, only characters that obtained their artifact on the 7.1.5/7.2.5, can use Simcraft perfectly.

same happend to me with my pally and i created in 7.3.5


28-05-2020 EDIT: prot&ret bugged and holy works fine.

02-06-2020 EDIT: holy bugged too now i think happened after i used Netherlight Crucible on it

[walid_bb]

Hello, just providing some new information.

If you look at the attached image you will see in the chatbox that when empowering my Artifact Weapon with AP, it says it is a keystone. The same thing happens when I am linking the weapon in the chat. That is most likely why SimCraft will not recognize the weapon during simulation.

The same thing happens with the Protection artifact.

Weirdly enough, the Arms artifact weapon is working as intended, it can be linked in the chat as any other item, and of course the SimCraft addon will recognize it and correctly complete the simulation.

This is the image from above: https://imgur.com/a/w4VtFxk

Kindly let me know if there is any other information that would possibly help, do let me know.
