we do not provide support for beta/ptr branches and such typically. This has been broadcasted on our discord. Sounds like you are cloning the repo or something instead of using the proper download links as our backend has changed and u can no longer just simply clone our repo unless you know what you are doing bc you will not get all the proper libraries that elvui needs which is prob what ur error is from. The zip link on github is no longer a valid place to get this either. https://api.tukui.org/v1/download/dev/elvui/classic-beta

And per our announcement in discord, https://discord.com/channels/209244641537556480/737516270290993286 We've made changes to our API backend and GitHub workflow

What does that mean for normal users?

Nothing will change for you. Install and update process for release builds remains unchanged.
You can still use clients like Tukui Client, WowUp and CurseBreaker.
You can still manually grab the zip file from the website.

More in-depth technical (meant for devs and dev-build users)

The development git branch is gone and the "new" development branch is main.
Libraries are no longer embedded and instead sourced directly from their repo.
We're not using submodules. If you pull main you will have to get the Libs manually.

How to grab the development build for normal users

This will work exactly like it did before, just the download link is different.
The new packaged zip file from the link will include all 3 ready-to-use ElvUI folders (AddOn, Libs, Options).

How-To prepare your ElvUI development environment

Clone the repo from GitHub and get a packaged dev build from our API.
Unpack the zip file and overwrite the ElvUI_Libraries in your repo with the one from the zip file.
Directories of additional libraries are added to gitignore so git should not see any changes.

Misc

Git cloned development builds will be displayed as Development ingame, instead of a version number.
API packaged development builds will be displayed as (example only) 13.60-22-g71d4239.
Where 13.60 is the release, -22- is the amount of commits ahead of release and 71d4239 is the packaged commit.
