Getting started

Issues

Before creating an issue

Please try to determine if the issue is caused by an underlying library, and if so, create the issue there. Sometimes this is difficult to know. We only ask that you attempt to give a reasonable attempt to find out. Oftentimes the readme will have advice about where to go to create issues.

Try to follow these guidelines

  • Avoid creating issues for implementation help. It's much better for discoverability, SEO, and semantics - to keep the issue tracker focused on bugs and feature requests - to ask implementation-related questions on stackoverflow.com
  • Investigate the issue:
  • Check the readme - oftentimes you will find notes about creating issues, and where to go depending on the type of issue.
  • Create the issue in the appropriate repository.

Creating an issue

Please be as descriptive as possible when creating an issue. Give us the information we need to successfully answer your question or address your issue by answering the following in your issue:

  • version: please note the version of prompt-google-form are you using
  • extensions, plugins, helpers, etc (if applicable): please list any extensions you're using
  • error messages: please paste any error messages into the issue, or a gist

Closing issues

The original poster or the maintainer's of prompt-google-form may close an issue at any time. Typically, but not exclusively, issues are closed when:

  • The issue is resolved
  • The project's maintainers have determined the issue is out of scope
  • An issue is clearly a duplicate of another issue, in which case the duplicate issue will be linked.
  • A discussion has clearly run its course

Next steps

Tips for creating idiomatic issues

Spending just a little extra time to review best practices and brush up on your contributing skills will, at minimum, make your issue easier to read, easier to resolve, and more likely to be found by others who have the same or similar issue in the future. At best, it will open up doors and potential career opportunities by helping you be at your best.

The following resources were hand-picked to help you be the most effective contributor you can be:

At the very least, please try to:

  • Use backticks to wrap code. This ensures that it retains its formatting and isn't modified when it's rendered by GitHub, and makes the code more readable to others
  • When applicable, use syntax highlighting by adding the correct language name after the first "code fence"
