How to write a great bug report

Ugg, bug reports. We all hate them, but without them things just won’t get fixed.

Writing a good bug report helps CircleCi troublshoot and solve things faster, which gets us all back to what we really want to be doing, making more bugs writing code!

When writing a helpful bug report it is recommended that you include the following information:

  • The build url (if public), or the relevant section of circle.yml

  • Exact error message (screen shots if it’s a visual bug)

  • Are you aware of anything that changed since the build last passed?

  • When the bug first occurred (if known, this helps staff in knowing if something changed on their side)

  • What happens when you run the tests locally

If you are having a bug that is already reported, please :hearts: the bug and only comment if you have additional information to help track it down or solve it.

Thank you very much for writing this!
