= Bug Triaging Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide discusses recommendations for triaging bugs in Ruby's bug tracker.
|
|
|
|
== Bugs with Reproducible Examples
|
|
|
|
These are the best bug reports. First, consider whether the bug reported is
|
|
actually an issue or if it is expected Ruby behavior. If it is expected Ruby
|
|
behavior, update the issue with why the behavior is expected, and set the
|
|
status to Rejected.
|
|
|
|
If the bug reported appears to be an actual bug, try reproducing the bug with
|
|
the master branch. If you are not able to reproduce the issue on the master
|
|
branch, try reproducing it on the latest version for the branch the bug was
|
|
reported on. If you cannot reproduce the issue in either case, update
|
|
the issue stating you cannot reproduce the issue, ask the reporter if they
|
|
can reproduce the issue with either the master branch or a later release,
|
|
and set the status to Feedback.
|
|
|
|
If you can reproduce the example with the master branch, try to figure out
|
|
what is causing the issue. If you feel comfortable, try working on a
|
|
patch for the issue, update the issue, and attach the patch. Try to figure
|
|
out which committer should be assigned to the issue, and set them as the
|
|
assignee, and set the status to Assigned.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot reproduce the example with the master branch, but can reproduce
|
|
the issue on the latest version for the branch, then it is likely the bug has
|
|
already been fixed, but it has not been backported yet. Try to determine
|
|
which commit fixed it, and update the issue noting that the issue has been
|
|
fixed but not yet backported. If the Ruby version is in the security
|
|
maintenance phase or no longer supported, change the status to Closed. This
|
|
change can be made without adding a note to avoid spamming the mailing list.
|
|
|
|
For issues that may require backwards incompatible changes or may benefit from
|
|
general committer attention or discussion, consider adding them as agenda
|
|
items for the next committer meeting (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14770).
|
|
|
|
== Crash Bugs Without Reproducers
|
|
|
|
Many bugs reported have little more than a crash report, often with no way to
|
|
reproduce the issue. These bugs are difficult to triage as they often do not
|
|
contain enough information.
|
|
|
|
For these bugs, if the Ruby version is the master branch or is the latest
|
|
release for the branch and the branch is in normal maintenance phase, look at
|
|
the backtrace and see if you can determine what could be causing the issue.
|
|
If you can guess what could be causing the issue, see if you can put together
|
|
a reproducible example (this is in general quite difficult). If you cannot
|
|
guess what could be causing the issue, or cannot put together a reproducible
|
|
example yourself, please ask the reporter to provide a reproducible example,
|
|
and change the status to Feedback.
|
|
|
|
If the Ruby version is no longer current (e.g. 2.5.0 when the latest version
|
|
on the Ruby 2.5 branch is 2.5.5), add a note to the issue asking the reporter
|
|
to try the latest Ruby version for the branch and report back, and change the
|
|
status to Feedback. If the Ruby version is in the security maintenance phase
|
|
or no longer supported, change the status to Closed. This change can be made
|
|
without adding a note.
|
|
|
|
== Crash Bugs With 3rd Party C Extensions
|
|
|
|
If the crash happens inside a 3rd party C extension, try to figure out inside
|
|
which C extension it happens, and add a note to the issue to report the
|
|
issue to that C extension, and set the status to Third Party's Issue.
|
|
|
|
== Non-Bug reports
|
|
|
|
Any issues in the bug tracker that are not reports of problems should have
|
|
the tracker changed from Bug to either Feature (new features or performance
|
|
improvements) or Misc. This change can be made without adding a note.
|
|
|
|
== Stale Issues
|
|
|
|
There are many issues that are stale, with no updates in months or even years.
|
|
For stale issues in Feedback state, where the feedback has not been received,
|
|
you can change the status to Closed without adding a note. For stale issues
|
|
in Assigned state, you can reach out to the assignee and see if they can update
|
|
the issue. If the assignee is no longer an active committer, remove them
|
|
as the assignee and change the status to Open.
