<h2>Reporting bugs effectively</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="left">
|
|
|
|
<p>So you found a problem in CodeMirror. By all means, report it! Bug
|
|
reports from users are the main drive behind improvements to
|
|
CodeMirror. But first, please read over these points:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>CodeMirror is maintained by volunteers. They don't owe you
|
|
anything, so be polite. Reports with an indignant or belligerent
|
|
tone tend to be moved to the bottom of the pile.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Include information about <strong>the browser in which the
|
|
problem occurred</strong>. Even if you tested several browsers, and
|
|
the problem occurred in all of them, mention this fact in the bug
|
|
report. Also include browser version numbers and the operating
|
|
system that you're on.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Mention which release of CodeMirror you're using. Preferably,
|
|
try also with the current development snapshot, to ensure the
|
|
problem has not already been fixed.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Mention very precisely what went wrong. "X is broken" is not a
|
|
good bug report. What did you expect to happen? What happened
|
|
instead? Describe the exact steps a maintainer has to take to make
|
|
the problem occur. We can not fix something that we can not
|
|
observe.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If the problem can not be reproduced in any of the demos
|
|
included in the CodeMirror distribution, please provide an HTML
|
|
document that demonstrates the problem. The best way to do this is
|
|
to go to <a href="http://jsbin.com/ihunin/edit">jsbin.com</a>, enter
|
|
it there, press save, and include the resulting link in your bug
|
|
report.</li>
|
|
</ol>
