Filing issues for .NET Core CLI
===============================
As you may notice based on our issues page, the CLI repo is what is known as a
"high-profile" and "high-volume" repo; we
get a lot of issues. This, in turn, may mean that some issues get
lost in the noise and/or are not reacted on with the needed speed.
In order to help with the above situation, we need to have a certain way to file
2016-02-23 09:54:03 -08:00
issues so that the core team of maintainers can react as fast as
possible and can triage effectively.
The below steps are something that we believe is not a huge increase in process,
but would help us react much faster to any issues that are filed.
1. Check if the [known issues](known-issues.md) cover the issue you are running
into. We are collecting issues that are known and that have workarounds, so it
2016-02-23 09:54:03 -08:00
could be that you can get unblocked pretty easily.
2. Add a label to determine which type of issue it is. If it is a defect, use
the "bug" label, if it is a suggestion for a feature, use the "enhancement"
label. This helps the team get to defects more effectively.
3. Unless you are sure in which milestone the issue falls into, leave it blank.
4. If you don't know who is on point to fix it or should be on point, assign it
first to @blackdwarf and he will triage it from there.
5. /cc the person that the issue is assigned to (or @blackdwarf) so that person
2016-02-23 09:54:03 -08:00
would get notified. In this way the correct person can immediately jump on the
issue and triage it.
6. For bugs, please be as concrete as possible on what is working, what
is not working. Things like operating system, the version of the tools, the
version of the installer and when you installed all help us determine the
potential problem and allows us to easily reproduce the problem at hand.
7. For enhancements please be as concrete as possible on what is the addition
you would like to see, what scenario it covers and especially why the current
tools cannot satisfy that scenario.
Thanks and happy filing! :)
