Wowhead AddOns (Client/Looter) Issue? Report here!

The achievement scan seems to be
really
inefficient; it freezes my game for about 2 seconds whenever it runs. This was really annoying to deal with -- having my game freeze up every time I earned an achievement.
This happens on both computers that I play on. One is an AMD FX-6100 with 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970. The other computer is a laptop with an Intel i7-6700HQ with 8 GB RAM and an Intel HD 530.
I ended up editing the addon script to remove the automatic achievement scan when an achievement was earned, and creating a slash command to manually run the achievement scan. This way I can wait to do the scan whenever I am done playing for the day and/or I'm in a situation where it's safe for my game to be frozen for a couple of seconds.
Is there anything that can be done to optimize the achievement scan? If not, would you implement an
option
to turn off the automatic achievement scan and only run the achievement scan with a manual command?

Hey Gilmorej,
We are going to take a look into achievement scan issue with freezing wow for 2 sec. Gonna need to start making some achievements and see what is going on :)
---
We have been working on fixing a few issues that we had with the client and looter addon:
Added a condition to prevent sending nil or empty 'guids' as addon msg.
Fixed lua errors while looting from professions in parties.
Added multiple conditions to prevent lua errors caused by map/instance changes.
Sometimes we get nil instead of an uiMapId.

Just for testing you can edit the addon script to make a slash command that calls
wlScanAchievements(true)
. Calling the achievement scan function with the
true
argument will force an achievement scan, this way you can test the scan performance without actually having to earn an achievement.

Aha, so that's why the game freezes every time I get an achievement. :D
Anyways, just wanted to say that after the Client updated itself yesterday I can now upload data once more without the "End of file" error. :)

I used wowhead client years ago, and no longer have it. have tried to see about downloading it again, but everytime I go to wowhead client page, where I should be able to try and start downloading, nothing is there to click.
has it moved somewhere else? getting updated, and hence not available.
want to use it to start finishing some tmog sets, and wardrobe keeps giving me invalid reasons when trying to pull with what is available now, hence trying to go the client method.

Page seems fine to me, it's located here:

Here's the direct link it that helps:

Today I am getting an error everytime I try to upload from the Client.
"Uploading too frequently ... You may upload only once per minute. Please try again soon"
This was the first time I tried to upload today. So I waited upwards of half an hour and tried again. Same message.

I tried again just now. There was a file update which was successfully applied, and the upload completely fine right afterwards.

I just got an error while trying to equip Syrenne with Sturdy Hiking Boots.
"+Wowhead_Looter has been blocked. The requested operation (?) is reserved for the Blizzard-UI."
I'm running the german version, therefore this translation might be erroneous.
"+Wowhead_looter wurde geblockt. Die angeforderte Funktion ist der Blizzard-UI vorbehalten."

I get an error 413 when I try to upload and the upload fails.
"Upload failed: Invalid status code: 413."
I uploaded a few times earlier successfully so maybe my cache is corrupt or something? I don't know.

(EDIT) My god I am blind. I apologize, this was acknowledged earlier:
https://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=254531.23&p=4298613#p4250711
Thank you.
I did some intense testing tonight after suffering from an annoying system stutter (about 1-2 second pause) whenever I attained an achievement in game on various characters. My hunch was Wowhead Looter was the culprit as it seems to latch onto the Achievement Updated event. There are more details about my test on the official forums (
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20767668155?page=1#post-16
).
It makes sense for it to be Wowhead Looter, but I wonder how to solve the problem. Is it that the code run on-achievement is inefficient? Is it that the event triggers multiple times upon attaining an achievement, thus running the code multiple times?
I looked at some checks that seem to indicate that the event is not supposed to run if you are in combat when you attain an achievement, but I've had this stutter happen in many PvP/PvE scenarios, such as in an RBG on Wed last week. I also experienced the stutter doing my final Pandaria Hero achievement in Mogu'shan Vaults where I have to make the final boss touch a laser beam (which happens before he dies / combat ends).
Not sure how to be more helpful here. I can try to propose some tweaks to the code at a later time, but wanted to survey how widespread an issue it was before diving deeper.

If i look at the lua addon it seems to me that the logic is slightly wrong.
if wlIsInParty() then
-- SendAddonMessage does not allow to send nil or "" as msg.
-- Only send it if we got a valid 'guid'. This should not affect any data.
if guid then
SendAddonMessage("WL_LOOT_COOLDOWN", guid, IsPartyLFG() and "INSTANCE_CHAT" or "RAID");
end
else
wlEvent_CHAT_MSG_ADDON(self, "WL_LOOT_COOLDOWN", guid, "RAID", UnitName("player"));
end
Doesn't this send messages to the raid channel when we are questing solo?
You also shouldn't send to instance outside an instance.
Sending to raid while in a battleground is a bad idea too as it gives errors.

The client is again unable to find the WoW folder and will not start without it.

Probably related to the file directory changes. We'll work on it. Thanks!
