BugGrabber

Please support my work on Patreon/GitHub

BugGrabber is a small addon that simply grabs all Lua errors generated by WoW and makes them available to you through the /buggrabber slash command.

Regular users should not use BugGrabber on its own. It is not designed to silence Lua errors. However, if you want to provide the developers of your favorite addon with useful bug reports, installing BugGrabber and BugSack would be sensible.

For standard users, BugSack should be used to interact with BugGrabber, to provide high level display interface for the captured errors. Without a display addon like BugSack, BugGrabber will simply print captured bugs to the standard chat frame.

For addon developers with a lot of users that report bugs (that often lack details), BugGrabber can be embedded in your addon much like a library, providing a somewhat reduced featureset due to the lack of SavedVariables. If you want to embed BugGrabber, please download it and read the embedding.txt document found inside the archive. It can be pulled in like any other external dependency for wowace/curseforge. You can then listen for the BugGrabber_BugGrabbed and BugGrabber_EventGrabbed CallbackHandler events and generate nice reports for your users to copy/paste into your bug tracking facilities.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes BugGrabber by Funkeh. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on CurseForge on 13 November 2026: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bug-grabber

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

GAME FLAVOUR

This is a WoW Forever build. Forever is its own client family alongside retail and Classic, and a build for one throws Lua errors on the others. Check you are installing into the Forever client.

INTERFACE VERSION

Built against game version 1.60.1. After a patch, an addon that has not been updated is flagged out of date; most keep working, and the "Load out of date AddOns" checkbox on the character screen lets you try.

DEPENDENCIES

None required — every library it loads is bundled inside the addon.

1. Quit World of Warcraft completely. The game reads the AddOns folder at launch and will overwrite settings for an addon added while it is running.

2. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it. Take the file marked for Forever — the same project also ships builds for retail and the Classic flavours, and they are not interchangeable.

3. Move the folder — the one with the .toc file in it, not the zip's wrapper folder — into:

the WoW Forever client\Interface\AddOns — its own client folder, separate from _retail_ and _classic_ (the beta installed as _classic_beta_)

4. Start the game. On the character selection screen, click AddOns and check that it is listed and enabled.

IF IT DOES NOT APPEAR

Nine times out of ten the folder is nested one level too deep. Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing/Thing.toc will not load; Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing.toc will.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Unzipping over the top leaves files behind that the new version no longer expects.
