Development tools for addon and weakaura creators

BraunerrsDevTools speeds up World of Warcraft addon and WeakAura development with Dev Mode (safe reloads, AFK/BugSack support, auto debug toggles), Quick Actions (profiler, grid, coords, profile toggle), and universal debug variable control.

⚠️ Early Development: This addon is in early development. Features may change and bugs may occur.

Key Features

🛠️ Dev Mode (/bdt)

The core feature of this addon. When toggled on, Dev Mode provides:

  • Unhindered UI Reloads: Use Ctrl+R (or custom keybinds) to reload your UI. Keybinds are safely ignored while typing in chat or edit boxes.
  • Auto-AFK & BugSack Support: Optionally sets your character AFK and automatically enables BugSack error popups to prevent interruptions.
  • Automatic Debugging: Automatically enables your configured global addon debug modes.

Settings for Dev Mode can be configured via Esc > Interface > AddOns > Braunerr's Dev Tools.

🚀 Quick Action Tools

A suite of utilities designed to speed up common addon development tasks. Accessible via the Quick Actions floating window or slash commands:

  • Addon CPU Profiler (/bdt profiler): A real-time tracking window listing all loaded addons sorted by CPU consumption (requires Profiling enabled).
  • Profile Toggle & Reload (/bdt profile): Instantly toggles WoW's scriptProfile CVar and reloads your UI.
  • Screen Alignment Grid (/bdt grid [size]): Overlays a visual grid center-screen for symmetrical UI element alignment.
  • Mouse Coordinates Overlay (/bdt coords): Tracks precise X and Y coordinates (both Raw Screen and UIParent scaled).
  • Clear Chat (/cc or /clearchat): Instantly wipes all chat windows clean.
  • Blizzard API Toggles: Quick UI buttons for /fstack and /etrace.

🎛️ Universal Debug Variable Control

Easily control any global boolean variable (e.g., MyAddonDebug = true) across all addons through a unified visual interface.

The Active Debug Variables UI (which opens alongside Dev Mode) allows you to:

  • View all active boolean variables from loaded addons.
  • Enable or disable individual variables without altering code.
  • Register specific variables to automatically toggle ON when Dev Mode is active.

For Addon Developers

Make your addon's debug features controllable simply by declaring a global boolean:

MyAddonDebug = false    -- Main debug toggle
MyAddTrace = false      -- Function tracing

You can now immediately control these properties when Dev Mode is active!
