Troubleshooting
Lots of things can go wrong, but one of the most common is people having problems with Outfitter not working at all. Crazy stuff like tons of errors (if errors are enabled), or it won't change outfits, or the UI is a train wreck. This happens pretty much for one reason: Outfitter was updated while WoW was still running. Just restart WoW all the way from the desktop (not just from login) and it'll be happy again.
Why? Addons have a file called the Table of Contents which describes how WoW should load and start the addon. The problem is that WoW copies the ToC file into memory at startup and will never update it again as long as WoW is still running. If an addon update has changes to the ToC then WoW won't see those changes if it's still running while you update. Those changes to the ToC may include critical things like new files to be loaded. Without those files the addon likely can't even initialize itself correctly resulting in all those errors, mangled UI, etc.
Reporting Bugs
Feel free to report bugs in the comments section at the bottom of this page, but please don't paste in your bug/crash logs. Those logs are very large since they usually include the list of every addon you're running and that makes the post take a huge amount of screen space in the comments section. That, in turn, makes it very difficult for me to find previous questions and bug reports. Crash dumps are great and extremely useful, but please post them into a CurseForge ticket and then refer to that ticket in your comment so I know where to find it. Thanks!
About Outfitter
Outfitter is an equipment management addon which gives you fast access to multiple outfits to optimize your abilities in PvE and PvP, automated equip and unequip for convenience doing a variety of activities, or to enhance role-playing.
Outfitter includes an icon bar for fast access to your outfits, a minimap menu for fast compact access, support for LibDataBroker, scripting with a library of pre-made scripts for most common tasks, item comparisons across outfits, and more.
Outfitter can also generate outfits for you, optimized for a specific combination of stats you specify or using Pawn weights (must have Pawn installed).
If you change your outfits on a different computer, then the next time you log into WoW Outfitter gets an error: https://i.imgur.com/fZP1JjZ.png
Is it possible for this to change out your essences to while it changes your gear?
is a there a macro setting for targeting Nefarian as when i use equip on target Nefarioan nothing happens and yes i know BWL is in 3 weeks?
I'm currently working on a light weight classic version of outfitter.

Feedback and suggestions appreciated.

What does this do that Kaliel's Outfitter for Classic linked in a comment below doesn't do?
In reply to BujuArena:
I dont know. He didnt state what his Outfitter does.
In reply to Prayos:
It does what Outfitter does, except doesn't support ammo. Also, I tested it and it doesn't seem to support the one thing I want Outfitter for: clicking a gear slot to see a pop-out quick-swap frame with all items for that slot.
In reply to BujuArena:
I must admit, I didnt play retail for quite some time. But if I recall correctly, Outfitter does not switch your actions on the action bars when you switch between sets, because dual spec already does that for you. Since classic does not have dual spec, this comes in quite handy.
My addon is far from finished and I bet it still has some bugs, but you might give it a try. ;)
In reply to BujuArena:
Update:
It has been a while and Ive not been lazy. GearQuipper now has quick slots and it does also support ammo, event based switching and everything else you need. And in case it doesnt - I will add it.
In reply to Prayos:
Cool! That's the only thing I want it for and it does that. It'd be perfect for me if it didn't do anything else (but that's just my use case). Thanks for letting me know!
Outfitter is entirely broken for me on WoW Classic. I have restarted the game from scratch, and it makes no difference.
On my Character tab, I have the Outfitter button and the right arrow, but they seem misplaced--it is so high it abuts the close button (the yellow X on red background) and is far enough to the right that 1/4 the shirt and the whole yellow arrow is to the right of the bounding box.
When I click on the outfitter button, I get an odd window; it has no background or borders; it has the text in white "Outfitter 5.22.1" at the top, in line with the cancel button (yellow X). Bellow that is the word "Outfitter" in yellow. The area that ought to show information is entirely empty. There is a scrollbar to the right, and the footer with the New Outfit button, and below that the tabs About, Options, Outfitter.
Clicking the New Outfit button brings up the New Outfit dialog, but the Okay button never becomes clickable, no matter what I enter.
Clicking the about tab brings up a pane with a sort of yellow T (or maybe a Thor's hammer?) that is semitransparent, against a fully transparent background.
Clicking Options brings up the Outfitter Options panel, but there is no background (the panel is transparent). No options are checked (including "Show minimap button" which ought to be, given that there is a minimap button).
The minimap button does nothing except display what looks like the right and left bits of a pair of buttons (or maybe a backward and forward C joined together.

In reply to Vindzyo:
I'm sure being hostile and demanding will get the attention of the addon creator and inspire them to get it working for you.
Good call.

How to win friends and influence people. It's been 5 days--maybe you should insult the author some more.
outfitter
what is script for equipping a set if you are swimming?
thanks,
Thank you for great addon mundocani.
Here is my Outfitter Classic build ..... Outfitter-5.22.1c.zip Not completely tested and Ammo not supported.
Try my Classic Quest Tracker addon ..... Kaliel's Tracker (Classic)
In reply to Kaliel:
Hey Kaliel, thanks for taking a stab at this. Any chance you'll branch this off in the Classic repository?
Tried installing it today and it throws a bunch of LUA errors at login. Can't seem to click on a slot to get a list of items to swap into an outfit. Clicking on the Birthday Suit outfit did nothing appearance wise. That's about as far as I got with it.
Excited to see some traction on this. Thanks again.
This Addon was made BECAUSE of classic and now either out of some misplaced sense of loyalty or some antiquated posture of resistance there seems be reluctance to release it in a game that does not have a feature like this in favor of focusing on keeping it updated in a game where it has been rendered obsolete / irrelevant anyways. Take a que from the comment section, the demand is a crucial element for download accumulation.
In reply to Morrowdays:
While I also want Outfitter for classic, it's best not to act so entitled. I'm not the author, but it's a free project that any volunteer working on won't be paid for. Also, porting it to classic is not trivial, so it's not reluctance to just "release" a classic version. It's not like there's a classic-ready version sitting around just not being released. It would take a lot of time and thought to do the port.
That being said, since it's a free project, anyone can do the port. Why not take a stab at it yourself, or try asking nicely, showing some appreciation instead of extreme entitlement?
Also, it's "cue" in the case of "take a cue". "Que" isn't an English word.
