Contributing Issues

Before Submitting an Issue

First, please do a search of open issues to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed.

If you find your issue already exists, make relevant comments and add your reaction. Use a reaction in place of a "+1" comment.

👍 - upvote

👎 - downvote

The DevSkim project is distributed across multiple repositories, so try to file the issue against the correct repository:

If your issue is a question then please ask the question on Stack Overflow using the tag devskim.

If you cannot find an existing issue that describes your bug or feature, submit an issue using the guidelines below.

Writing Good Bug Reports and Feature Requests

File a single issue per problem and feature request.

  • Do not enumerate multiple bugs or feature requests in the same issue.
  • Do not add your issue as a comment to an existing issue unless it's for the identical input. Many issues look similar, but have different causes.
  • Turning on debug mode can be helpful in providing more information (Package Settings | DevSkim | Settings - User | set "debug": true)

The more information you can provide, the more likely someone will be successful reproducing the issue and finding a fix. Therefore:

  • Provide reproducible steps, what the result of the steps was, and what you would have expected.
  • A description of what you expect to happen
  • Code that demonstrates the issue, when providing a code snippet also include it in source and not only as an image
  • Version of DevSkim and Sublime Text
  • Errors in the Sublime Text Console (View | Show Console)

Don't feel bad if we can't reproduce the issue and ask for more information!
