Reporting Bugs

This section guides you through submitting a bug report for compretend. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your report 📝, reproduce the behavior 💻 💻, and find related reports 🔎.

Before creating bug reports, please check this list as you might find out that you don't need to create one. When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possible. Fill out the required template, the information it asks for helps us 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.

Before Submitting A Bug Report

  • **Check if you can reproduce the problem.
  • Determine which repository the problem should be reported in.
  • Perform a cursory search to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has and the issue is still open, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.

How Do I Submit A (Good) Bug Report?

Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues. After you've determined which repository your bug is related to, create an issue on that repository 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. When listing steps, include what you did, and 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 with the Keybinding Resolver shown. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.

Your First Code Contribution

If you have never created a pull request before, check out this tutorial on how to send one.

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

    # Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <repo-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/hoodiehq/<repo-name>

  2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:

    git checkout master
git pull upstream master

  3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix:

    git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>

  4. Make sure to update, or add to the tests when appropriate. Patches and features will not be accepted without tests. Run npm test to check that all tests pass after you've made changes. Look for a Testing section in the project’s README for more information.

  5. If you added or changed a feature, make sure to document it accordingly in the README.md file.

  6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  7. Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description.

For compretend contributors

  1. Clone the repo and create a branch

    git clone https://github.com/compretend/<repo-name>
cd <repo-name>
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>

  2. Make sure to update, or add to the tests when appropriate. Patches and features will not be accepted without tests. Run npm test to check that all tests pass after you've made changes. Look for a Testing section in the project’s README for more information.

  3. If you added or changed a feature, make sure to document it accordingly in the README.md file.

  4. Push your topic branch up to our repo

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  5. Open a Pull Request using your branch with a clear title and description.

Optionally, you can help us with these things. But don’t worry if they are too complicated, we can help you out and teach you as we go :)

  1. Update your branch to the latest changes in the upstream master branch. You can do that locally with

    git pull --rebase upstream master

    Afterwards force push your changes to your remote feature branch.

  2. Once a pull request is good to go, you can tidy up your commit messages using Git's interactive rebase. Please follow our commit message conventions shown below, as they are used by semantic-release to automatically determine the new version and release to npm.

IMPORTANT: By submitting a patch, you agree to license your work under the same license as that used by the project.

Pull requests

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's developers might not want to merge into the project.
