Filing issues

The best way to get your bug fixed is to be as detailed as you can be about the problem. Providing a minimal project with steps to reproduce the problem is ideal. Here are questions you can answer before you file a bug to make sure you're not missing any important information.

  1. Did you read the documentation?
  2. Did you include the snippet of broken code in the issue?
  3. What are the EXACT steps to reproduce this problem?
  4. What package versions are you using (you can see these in the project.json file)?
  5. What operating system are you using?
  6. What version of IIS are you using?

GitHub supports markdown, so when filing bugs make sure you check the formatting before clicking submit.

Tests

  • Tests need to be provided for every bug/feature that is completed.
  • Tests only need to be present for issues that need to be verified by QA (e.g. not tasks)
  • If there is a scenario that is far too hard to test there does not need to be a test for it.
  • "Too hard" is determined by the team as a whole.
