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).
I'm having issues - and have been for a little while - of Outfitter not changing outfits when I change specs. It's led me to having DPS gear when trying to heal - not fun. I've recently redone my entire addon directory and this is the only recurring problem I have. In fact, it's the one that caused me to redo my directory in the first place. I don't know if it has something to do with the new _retail_ change but it's frustrating. (Blizz's outfitter is so much garbage compared to the real outfitter.)
Please fix? Thank you kindly!
Any solution for the problem that Outfiter not change outfit when i enter a city?
In reply to TBABlackPanther:
Truthfully, in all of the years I've used Outfitter, I've never been able to automate that. I've simply just made a "Casual" outfit and clicked on it when I wanted to quickly remove my weaponry and the like.
I have created a video from a stream where I used the fix that someone posted in the issues list to get mine working with the Azerite traits I have. It isn't a full fix and probably probably not even a good one but it works for me until the addon gets updated.
There's been an outstanding feature request for a couple months now for Outfitter to be able to handle two copies of the same Azerite item with different traits selected. Given how common this situation is, can we please get some traction on this issue? It's a major obstacle to the usefulness of the addon.

Has this addon been abandon?v5.21 is here and seems to address all the concerns I had.....sweet!The addon keep forgetting items when swapping. I have to manually press the outfit again in order so that the forgotten item also gets changed.
This seems like it may have already been reported, but I have an issue that's driving me crazy.
Outfitter seems to "forget" all or part of an outfit, especially when swapping specs. I haven't tested to find the exact cause, but I'm reticent to change specs since it will generally lose my outfit completely and I have to go piece it together again.
everytime i switch specs on WW monk from dps to tank the gear swap bugs out stops working. dunno if same with other class swaps

Mining and Herbalism Scripts don't seem to work with the settings menu, I get an error every time I try to set the option to ignore difficulty. Having tested the script some, it does work for difficult items which are rare for me. I like the option to ignore difficulty so that they always swap when I am out farming. I also tried to manually edit the script and remove the last conditional in the if statement that checks for isdifficult or the option being set , but that did not seem to help. I'm not sure if it is actually running the original script, my modified custom script, or nothing at all.

Greetings I must say I am in love with this addon and greatly appreciate your work. I was wondering if it was possible to make a script so that the addon can change gear sets based on specific talents selected? if so how would I go about doing that?
I'm having issues where I have to reload the ui every time I want to add to or change an outfit. Also getting the error when I enter water.
