wowa not importing my addons

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I just installed wowa with npm, but when I wanted to import my addons, it didn't find any when I did wowa import. Been using twitch app with lutris, so I knew i had addons in there.

I looked into the folders, and it seems that wowa only looks for AddOns and not Addons, I can just rename the folder, but I feel that defeated the purpose of using a cli for handling wow addons :)

I'm afraid this cannot be properly supported. AddOns and Addons are all good for windows applications (wow.exe or wowa for windows). But when wowa is running on a case sensitive filesystem, it cannot recognize the nondefault folder name (Yes, AddOns is the default folder name generated by wow.exe).

My explanation is that Twitch runs with lutris and wow.exe runs with lutris, so they don't have this problem. But wowa in your case is running on Linux, so it cannot recognize that folder.

I can just support Addons in wowa but that is not a proper way. Because Addons, aDDons or addoNS are all valid names for wow.exe with Lutris. If wowa supports Addons, it should support all of them and iNterfaces/addOns and INTterfacS/ADDONS etc,. too many.

Your folder name must be accidentally changed and the best idea, for now, is to rename it to the default one.
