Description
BugSack eases the process of capturing bugs. It captures information about Lua errors that occurred 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 FuBar 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.
!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 Ace2 libraries, to make sure that any errors in those 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.
Originally posted by Grizzly UK 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!
FuBar support was removed because it meant that BugSack had to include about 400kb in library files that were only used to support FuBar. That's a lot of overhead! Instead, BugSack now provides a Data Broker plugin; this requires only a single 3kb file, and is supported by nearly a dozen different display addons, including Titan Panel. FuBar is pretty much the only display addon left that doesn't support Data Broker, but you can install Broker2FuBar to provide a compatibility layer and show Data Broker plugins on FuBar.
Also, it looks like Rabbit forgot to update here on WoWI; the latest release on Curse includes a new minimap button.

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.

You can use the command /buggrabber in-game to show how many errors you have (for example 1-11 means you have 11 errors) and add a number after /buggrabber to show the error in the chat frame (for example /buggrabber 2). 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
Im having the same problem as the 4 others below me, can hear it but not see it at all
opened up !BugGrabber.lua and found the following line:
Code:
["message"] = "BugSack-3.0\\BugSack.lua:39: Cannot find a library instance of \"AceAddon-3.0\".\n!BugGrabber-2.2\\libs\\LibStub\\LibStub.lua:23: in function `LibStub'\nBugSack-3.0\\BugSack.lua:39: in main chunk\n\n ---",
["type"] = "error",
["time"] = "2008/10/15 22:45:23",
["session"] = 61,
["counter"] = 1,
So as of 3.0 this addon seems to load..my "Addons" on character select screen says it's loadable..but I don't see the minimap button I'd come to know & love..
Don't use Fubar..nor do I ever plan to..is the minimap button gone & only supported by Fubar now? o.O
