Simulating Boss fight (frames) in ouF

I'm looking for a way to simulate or show Boss frames so I can configure them in Lua.

I found this dicussion, but a very old discussion, and I guess these things don't work anymore.

Also AV doesn't have Boss Frames if I remember correctly so that won't help either.

So is there a way to get ouF to simulate a Bossfight at best with 2 or more Bosses and Castbars?

Not sure where I found this but I've been using it for the last few months in various layouts and it seems to work fairly well.

Replace YourLayout with your layout name (who would've thought...)

Lua Code:

local testui = TestUI or function() end
TestUI = function( msg )
    if( msg == "uf" or msg == "unitframes" ) then
        oUF_YourLayoutTarget:Show(); oUF_YourLayoutTarget.Hide = function() end; oUF_YourLayoutTarget.unit = "player"
    elseif( msg == "boss" or msg == "b" ) then
        oUF_YourLayoutBoss1:Show(); oUF_YourLayoutBoss1.Hide = function() end; oUF_YourLayoutBoss1.unit = "player"
        oUF_YourLayoutBoss2:Show(); oUF_YourLayoutBoss2.Hide = function() end; oUF_YourLayoutBoss2.unit = "player"
        oUF_YourLayoutBoss3:Show(); oUF_YourLayoutBoss3.Hide = function() end; oUF_YourLayoutBoss3.unit = "player"
    elseif( msg == "buffs" ) then
        UnitAura = function()
            return 139, "Rank 1", "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_Penance", 1, "Magic", 0, 0, "player"
        end
 
        if( oUF ) then
            for i, v in pairs( oUF.units ) do
                if( v.UNIT_AURA ) then
                    v:UNIT_AURA( "UNIT_AURA", v.unit )
                end
            end
        end
    end
end
SlashCmdList.TestUI = TestUI
SLASH_TestUI1 = "/testui"

I use this for testing my layout. Rather than overwriting global functions and tainting your frames, it just tells the frames to display the player unit, so you can test with real health values, auras, etc. Just type the command again to put them back to their original state.

Code:

local frames = {

        "oUFPhanxBoss1",

        "oUFPhanxBoss2",

        "oUFPhanxBoss3",

        "oUFPhanxBoss4",

        "oUFPhanxBoss5",

}



local function toggle(f)

        if f.__realunit then

                f:SetAttribute("unit", f.__realunit)

                f.unit = f.__realunit

                f.__realunit = nil

                f:Hide()

        else

                f.__realunit = f:GetAttribute("unit") or f.unit

                f:SetAttribute("unit", "player")

                f.unit = "player"

                f:Show()

        end

end



SLASH_OUFPHANXTEST1 = "/otest"



SlashCmdList.OUFPHANXTEST = function()

        for i = 1, #frames do

                toggle(_G[frames[i]])

        end

end
