wowless

A headless WoW client Lua and FrameXML interpreter. Intended for addon testing.

To get started:

git clone https://github.com/lua-wow-tools/wowless
cd wowless
bin/setup.sh
bin/test.sh
bin/wowcig.sh
bin/run.sh 0 wow Mainline

The above will:

• set up a local Lua environment
• install wowless dependencies in that environment
• verify that you have a working setup
• use wowcig to download WoW client Lua/XML interface code
• download and process _G extracts on wowless cloud storage
• load WoW retail FrameXML
• mess around with the frames created: click around, mouse over things, etc.
