Contributing to go-vinyldns

The following is a set of guidelines for contributing. These are mostly guidelines, not rules. Use your best judgment and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.

Code of Conduct

This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior by submitting an issue under the github repo.

Reporting Bugs

Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues. Please complete the template when creating an issue. This helps resolve issues faster.

Note: If you find a Closed issue that seems like it is the same thing that you're experiencing, open a new issue and include a link to the original issue in the body of your new one.

Please also consider the following when creating reporting a bug:

  • 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. When listing steps, don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it. For example, if you moved the cursor to the end of a line, explain if you used the mouse, or a keyboard shortcut.
  • Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include details such as a strack trace, links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets that illustrate the problem. 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 the behavior you expected to see instead and why.

Provide more context by answering these questions:

  • Did the problem start happening recently (e.g. after updating to a new version) or was this always a problem?
  • If the problem started happening recently, can you reproduce the problem in an older version? What's the most recent version in which the problem doesn't happen?
  • Can you reliably reproduce the issue? If not, provide details about how often the problem happens and under which conditions it normally happens.
