{{faqq}}So, how do I add something that's missing?

* See [[WoWBench/Extending]].


{{faqq}}How do I tweak an already-existing API to work better for my tests?

{{faqq}}Ok, fine, my AddOn loads and I get a prompt. Now what?

:Whatever you want to do.
:* Call functions in your AddOn directly from the prompt:
::: <code>MyAddOn_DoSomething("someParameter")</code>
:* Make Alice, Bob or Charles (the default player characters) say something: 
::: <code>say Alice Help! Help! The horrible Murloc Warrior is hitting me!</code>
:* Fire an event: 
::: <code>fire DUEL_REQUESTED Charles</code>
:* Run a slash command: 
::: <code>/myaddon dosomething</code>
:* Look at the frame that popped up: 
::: <code>look MyAddOnMainFrame</code>
:* Click a button in it: 
::: <code>click MyAddOnMainFrameIWinButton</code>

:And much more :-)


<div id="scripting"><!-- for link from first page--></div>
{{faqq}}How do I run scripts? -Testing needs looots of repetition!

:* You can automatically run wowbench command line scripts by giving names of .txt files on the command line, e.g.:
::<code>wowbench MyAddon script.txt</code>

:* You can load and run Lua code on demand from the command prompt (or from inside a script file):
::<code>&gt; dofile("myluacode.lua")</code>
