BugSack

Version: r264

by: Rabbit, Nevcairiel, Phanx

BugSack eases the process of capturing bugs.

It captures information about Lua errors that occurr during your play session, including the full debug stack. It aims to be invaluable to developers, and a useful tool for players that use beta-quality addons.

BugSack includes a DataBroker plugin that displays the last 5 errors in the tooltip. It can also bring up a frame to display all other errors for the current session, or for any other session. The text of the error can then be copied & pasted to a source outside of WoW (for example, the forums) so that other developers can determine what's at fault.

Errors can also be sent to another player who has BugSack installed, if you know someone that can help you interpret and resolve the errors in your interface.

Feedback

Please direct all bug reports and feature requests to the WowAce ticket tracker.

!BugGrabber

The addon has a hard dependency on !BugGrabber, which is the addon that actually grabs the bugs. !BugGrabber is intentionally kept small, and it does not use any libraries, to make sure that any errors in libraries do not mess up the system.

!BugGrabber is included in the release ZIP.

Credits

BugSack and !BugGrabber has been hacked on by many people since it was started, including but not limited to: Fritti, Rowne, Ramble, kergoth, Industrial, ckknight, Gamefaq, thomasmo, and damjau.

The current maintainer is Rabbit.

The icon missing from FuBar seems to be a more complex problem, because many other addons have the same issue (for example BigWigs, oRA2). To fix this you could use a data broker addon (for example StatBlockCore) or simply use Broker2FuBar.

Looking at the BugSack.toc file clearly shows that there's no FuBar support, nor are any FuBar libs included in the archive. This is why BugSack no longer appears on FuBar and, I suspect, is also why there's no minimap icon! At some point in a recent update, someone has deliberately removed all FuBar support!

IMHO ninja !Swatter from 1 of the auctioneer downloads: http://auctioneeraddon.com/ It works & has a nice flyer frame to open & view any erros or confirm there aren't any shown..

If /buggrabber fails, then it means you have no errors Edit: most recent versions of BugSack and BugGrabber are on Curse (and on Wowace). It still doesn't show the icon on FuBar, but at least it doesn't give errors Last edited by kazso : 10-16-08 at 04:09 AM.

Thank you thank you Thank you! Very Very Very Much!

This makes it easy to get help from your local addon nut
