[Bug] Faerie Fire (Feral) and GetSpellCooldown()

[Nid]

Spellid: 16857

name = GetSpellInfo(16857);
start, duration, enabled = GetSpellCooldown(name);

always returns(even if Faerie Fire(Feral) is on CD):
start = nil
duration = nil
enabled = nil (think - not tested)

but start and duration are the important ones since it will never return enabled with another value than nil

dunno if this has to do with GetSpellInfo returns a wrong name

I think I read somewhere that its the wrong spellID or something like that. Just can't remember where I read it.

I did some digging and found this:

# [API BUG] GetSpellInfo() + Faerie Fire Feral


I am somewhat clueless what the green poster is talking about. Faerie Fire (Feral) no longer has ranks but according to wowhead it does have a new spellID. All i am getting is that parentheses cause the GetSpellInfo() to bug out and API functions like GetSpellCooldown(), GetSpellTexture() that use it are in consequence not working.

Ah .. I think I know what he is saying.

It used to be that you would get Feral Fire as the name output and then Rank as a separate output but if it no longer exists they are saying you simply append () to tell it to grab the spell in its entirety. So, in essence you are changing Feral Fire to Feral Fire() ..

That's what I am understanding out of it anyway. I don't recall hitting this problem before but maybe its recent and after I switched out of feral on my druid.
