DevTools

DevTools - Development tools for UI authors.

A relatively simple AddOn which provides some slash commands

/reload

Just a shortcut (since I'm lazy) for /script ReloadUI()

/dump expression

Prints the result of executing a Lua expression (Basically /script but with
output). It should be able to handle pretty much any kind of return data
(including self-referential nested tables!)

e.g.
/dump GetPlayerMapPosition("player")

DevTools: value=GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
[1]0.43320921063423
[2]0.69365233182907

/dtchatevent

Toggle chat event tracking/debugging (this is a saved setting). When
active each chat frame message (in all standard ChatFrames) will be
prefixed by a marker that can be clicked on the pop up the details of
the event that created it.

/dtchatevent buffer

Displays the current chat event rolling buffer size.

/dtchatevent buffer <size>

Set the current chat event rolling buffer size
(e.g. /dtchatevent buffer 10000), the default buffer size is 1000.

/dtframestack

Toggles the 'frame stack' window, which displays the stack of visible
frames under the mouse pointer. (There are also key bindings for this).

/dteventtrace [command]
/dtevents [command]

Without any command it toggles visibility of the event trace frame. The
following commands are also recognized:

stop -- Halts collection of events
start -- Starts normal collection of events
fill -- Starts collection of 50 events (then stops)
toggle -- Equivalent to no parameters

Change Log - DevTools

1.11 - Ready for 3.0!
1.8 - General cleanup build, also added delayed load to /dtevents (note this is the default, if
you want to start capturing events right away as it used to, use /dtevents auto to turn on
auto start-on-load)
1.7 - Even more support for combat events in 2.4
1.6 - Updated to support extended combat events in 2.4

Optional Files - DevTools

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.

anseloth A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 39 Uploads: 0	is anyone still working on this mod? just wondering, is anyone still working on this mod? a new version that is up to date would be really good. if it comes down to it, i can always give it a try, but, i am still new to the mod programming scene, so it would be a lot better for someone who already knows how to program mods well. another mod that i discovered that helps with making mods like this one, and is also out of date, is http://www.wowinterface.com/download...66-WowLua.html. its called WowLua, in case anyone was wondering. __________________ Last edited by anseloth : 05-18-2009 at 01:02 PM.

Tifi A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 92 Uploads: 5	Here's a macro to toggle event logging. The slash command /dteventtrace[ toggle] just toggles the visibility of the window. This macro shows the event trace frame if it's not visible, starts logging if we're currently not logging, and stops if we are. Code: /run local d,f=DevTools,EventTraceVisualFrame; if not d:GetEventTraceStatus() then d:EventTrace_Start(false); else d:EventTrace_Stop(); end; if not f or not f:IsShown() then d.EventTrace_SlashCommand(""); end;

Mera A Rage Talon Dragon Guard Forum posts: 314 File comments: 103 Uploads: 7	Suggestion I have a small suggestion Iriel, to be able to saves filters we want to show/hide in the /dtevents windows, when clicking the "?" icon, this would save much time to not have to check/uncheck which event I would like to filter after each connnection or each Reloadui. Like 2 button, on to uncheck all , the other to check all and by logging what is checked/unchecked into the profile. Last edited by Mera : 04-29-2008 at 12:51 PM.

dracula A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 70 Uploads: 0	I assume this is only supposed to work on PTR and not with 2.3 as stated on the WoWInterface addon portal? Getting error: DevToolsEventTraceFormats.lua: line 128: "Index is nil" local POWER_TYPES = { [SPELL_POWER_MANA] = "MANA", <---- [SPELL_POWER_RAGE] = "RAGE", [SPELL_POWER_FOCUS] = "FOCUS", [SPELL_POWER_ENERGY] = "ENERGY", [SPELL_POWER_HAPPINESS] = "HAPPINESS", [SPELL_POWER_RUNES] = "RUNES", [-2] = "HEALTH"; }
