Share button not doing anything

Can't seem to share my info, when hitting the button nothing happens anymore. Likely to be clashing with another addon or human error on my part?

commented

Same exact issue here. I can use the /wbt button to look at options, i can use the req button to ask for someone to share data, but my share button does nothing when i hit it.

I plan to add some debug logging that can be toggled on/off for this, since there are many conditions that may cause this to happen. I suspect it has to do with multiple bosses in the same zone (example Kunlai, since Zandalari Warbringers are also tracked), or it has to do with the new conditions to allow sharing across connected realms.

If it only happens in certain zones, or if it's everywhere, please comment it here.

Latest version (v1.9) now prints Info messages by default when unable to share. If anyone still has this issue please let me know what messages you are getting.

commented

Happening in all zones for all bosses. Example of the new text I get when I try to share Rukhmar timer:

WBT: [Info]: Cannot share timer for Rukhmar:
WBT: [Info]: Player was in a group during previous kill.

Thanks for sharing.

Is the content of the message correct, i.e. were you in a group when Rukhmar was killed or you received the timer?

commented

Yes I was in a group, flying towards Rukhmar when he died. No one in the group hit him so I/we still needed to wait the 15 minutes.

Well that's why then =)

The idea is that if a timer MIGHT be invalid, it should not be shared.

Example scenario: A player gets invited to a group and server jumps and somehow get a timer. The timer is now invalid for the player's home-realm. Sharing it will probably cause great confusion and mistrust in the timer.

The problem in above scenario is that there is no way to determine if the invitation to a group caused a server jump or not, so to be on the safe side the timer is not allowed to be shared. One flaw in above logic is that "as long as the player never leaves the group or logs out, it should still be safe to share". Well that's a limitation for now... and I'll add an issue here so it's visible.

Maybe this reasoning more visible, but at the same time I don't want to create spam... I'll see what I can do... (Part of the info is in the addon's description at Curse but nobody really reads that I guess.)

If you find any other error message that seems incorrect, please let me know!

Closing for now since most likely not a bug.

Could be issue in WBT as well. I did change some conditions for allowing to share.

Could you provide the conditions for when it doesn't work?

  • Realm name
  • EU/NA/other
  • Are you using latest version of addon?

I have the same problem.

Just installed the latest version. I can Req. but not Share timers. If I request and others share, I get the timers into my list, but when I click Share - nothing happens.
