Bug Reports

Your bug reports play an essential role in making ProjectPier reliable. If you find a bug, please follow the submission guidelines in this handbook. If you can, it is also helpful to provide a patch that fixes your bug. If you can't provide a patch, hopefully someone else will be able to fix the bug. It is important to include as much information and details as you can so that other people can replicate the issue and confirm the bug exists, when providing a patch you will also need to include details about how to test the patch.

Bug reports can be posted in connection with any project hosted on projectpier.org. You can submit a new bug via the submit issue form. Provide a sensible title for the bug, and choose the project you think you have found the bug in. After previewing the submission, you will need to choose a related component and you will be able to provide more details about the bug, including the description of the problem itself. Please include any error messages you received and a detailed description of what you were doing at the time.

Note that you DO have to be a logged in member of projectpier.org to submit bugs.

Bugs are fixed in ProjectPier very often, sometimes many bugs are fixed in a day. Therefore it is important that you are using the latest version and that your bug still happens in that version.
