How Do I Submit A (Good) Bug Report?

Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues. After you've determined module your bug is related to, create an issue with the details of the module and provide the following information by filling in the template.

Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:

  • Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the problem.

  • Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as possible. For example, start by explaining how you started the project, e.g. which command exactly you used in the terminal, or how you started the project otherwise. When listing steps, don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it.

  • Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use Markdown code blocks.

  • Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.

  • Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.

  • Include screenshots and animated GIFs which show you following the described steps and clearly demonstrate the problem. If you use the keyboard while following the steps, **record the GIF **. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.

  • If you're reporting that the project crashed, include a crash report with a stack trace from the operating system. On macOS, the crash report will be available in Console.app under "Diagnostic and usage information" > "User diagnostic reports". Include the crash report in the issue in a code block, a file attachment, or put it in a gist and provide link to that gist.

  • If the problem is related to performance or memory, detail out the time taken for the process and what is your expectation. Please provide the quantity of base data against which you are testing.

  • If the problem wasn't triggered by a specific action, describe what you were doing before the problem happened and share more information using the guidelines below.

  • Which version of the project are you using?

  • What's the name and version of the OS you're using?

Your First Code Contribution

  • [Beginner issues][beginner] - issues which should only require a few lines of code, and a test or two.
