FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose WoW addon Lua errors using runtime evidence?▼

Diagnose WoW addon Lua errors by instrumenting the addon with lightweight runtime logs to capture live behavioral data. This hypothesis-driven approach validates fixes against observed evidence rather than guesswork, ensuring reliable repairs for API failures.

What is evidence-based debugging for World of Warcraft addons?▼

Evidence-based debugging is a method that enforces runtime investigation before proposing fixes. It requires safe instrumentation to gather live runtime data, turning observed Lua errors and taint issues into verifiable corrections.

How do I handle combat lockdown and taint issues in WoW addons?▼

Handle combat lockdown and taint issues by applying a hypothesis-driven debugging workflow. Instrument the addon to capture runtime evidence during the lockdown, then validate potential fixes against the observed live data.

Can I use runtime instrumentation to fix WoW addon API failures?▼

Yes, you can fix WoW addon API failures by applying safe instrumentation to collect runtime evidence. This process ensures fixes are grounded in observed behavioral data rather than speculative code changes.

What is the best way to troubleshoot WoW addon bugs without guessing?▼

The best way to troubleshoot WoW addon bugs without guessing is an evidence-first debugging workflow. It uses live runtime data and explicit validation steps to ensure repairs are grounded in observed evidence.

When do I need hypothesis-driven debugging for Lua taint problems?▼

You need hypothesis-driven debugging for Lua taint problems when standard error review is insufficient. It instruments the addon to capture live runtime evidence, validating fixes against actual observed behavior.
