  • About BugSack
  •  

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.

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.

    !BugGrabber and BugSack worked great for me until this last expansion. Now it still appears to work, but I do not get the buttons that let me see what errors it has found. I'm fairly certain there is a conflict with some other addon that I'm using. Are there any known issues?

    Is there a place to look up errors? I know. the first line should show the offending addon, but it doesn't.
    The line is:
    Interface\\FrameXML\\UIParent.lua:2477: attempt to compare nil with number:
    There is no FrameXML-Addon and no UIParent.lua in my addon folder. I have no idea where to look.
    I'm getting this error very frequently (counter=1734 in last session) and "BugGrabber hat die Aufzeichnung von Fehlern gestoppt, weil mehr als 20 Fehler pro Sekunde erzeugt wurden. Die Aufzeichnung wird in 60 Sekunden fortgesetzt." You will know this message even if its german.
    BugSack doesn't give additional information because B2F is not working.
    I would like to fix the error, because without both Bug-Addons I wouldn't be able to play at all.
    Thanks for your work!

    Seems that the error flood only happens in Wintergrasp.

    Problem solved. Just in case somebody has a similar situation: I looked up line 2477 in one of the repositories, copied the function which was defined there, and searched all addons for a call of that function (thanks to an advice from WoWAce forums). That way I could identify the culprit.

    If you had (fatality!) worked at it for years (fatality!) and years, I doubt you (fatality!) could have come (fatality!) up with (fatality!) anything more annoying (fatality!).

    Is there any way to shut off the sound notifications? While it is usefull, the last patch has caused a large amount of errors and the sound gets rather irritating after a while ( I know there are errors, now shuddup!)

    think you must have bookmarked it wrongly, as I see a reply that was given to you 3 days back

    Bugsack no longer places itself in Fubar for me since 3.0
    When I open Fubar options there's no Bugsack there.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    BugSack no longer natively supports FuBar, because doing so would require embedding over 400kb in libraries that are otherwise not used by BugSack. Instead, it supports LibDataBroker, which is a tiny (3kb) library that in turn is supported by many different display addons; FuBar is pretty much the only such display addon that doesn't support LibDataBroker.

    The good news for FuBar users, though, is that you can install a "bridge" addon to show LibDataBroker plugins on FuBar. You can find Broker2FuBar here:

    I am having the same problem

    The easiest way to get BugSack on the FuBar is to use an old version - doesn't seem to be supported natively any more after version "BugSack-r82033.2" (which still works fine).

    Use Broker2Fubar, as Phanx said. It's much more elegant, and Phanx very nicely went over the reasons for the change. You'll like it once you get used to it.

    I was under the impression (from below) that "Running Broker2FuBar means you can't run fubar 3.0 addons.", which isn't really an option at this point ... but if that's not the case perhaps I'll give it a whirl.

    Broker2FuBar does not do anything with actual FuBar plugins. It only takes DataBroker plugins and turns them into FuBar plugins. Perhaps you're thinking of its counterpart FuBar2Broker which takes FuBar 2.0 plugins and turns them into DataBroker plugins? (And isn't relevant to the BugSack discussion! :p)

    Broker2Fubar seems to be not working anymore ...

    is there a site/place where you can look up the errors Bugsack produces?

    I have been getting the same error over and over again

    Something about a "special events mount" and want to figure out how to fix it
