Downloaded mods are not copied to .../Interface/addons
Hey,
first of all, thank you for this! This is an amazing little tool :). I installed it yesterday after reading about Overwolf changing their API so 3rd party addon managers like Ajour won't work anymore. After i checked a couple that might, i got disappointed about the Wago addon manager (basically the app wants to sell information on what websites you visit without the option to opt out of this).
Full disclosure the first time i met with Python was yesterday when i found your script. I installed and set everything and it works for the most time but i have one part i don't understand:
I have set the addons.txt correctly and i don't get any error messages during the script running nor in the updater log but some addons are not copied to the addon directory after downloading. Namely Details! and i can't figure out why. Is there a chance you can guide me here?
Thanks for the tool again, it's really nice and easy to use :).
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by, I'm happy you found this tool.
These days, I don't play WoW anymore, but I try to keep up with any issues raised here. It's not uncommon that Curse/Overwolf break this tool as well as others like you mentioned you came from.
Can you provide me your addons.txt as well as the log file here? I will review them and see if it's something easy to reproduce or discern from the logs.
Hi there,
thank you for helping me even though you don't play anymore. I attached the files you asked for. Earlier i had errors with extracting files but the pipenv update solved that part immediately. In the meantime i use a workaround: i backed up my addons before deleting them and let the script use an empty AddOns folder so now i just manually copy addons that seem to be installed but not moved there.
Have a great day!
Hey, it seems like not all GitHub addons are really ready to be used directly the way this tool expects. And some are just really out of date, https://github.com/plugh3/wow-tomtom hasn’t had a commit since 2016.
I think if the directory name that goes into your addons directory and the name of the .toc file for the addon don’t match, WoW won’t load it. Kind of unfortunate, but I don’t expect it to be simple to handle all cases of GitHub-hosted addons. Sorry for the inconvenience.
