Instructions for Logging Issues

1. Search for Duplicates

Search the existing issues before logging a new one.

2. Do you have a question?

The issue tracker is for issues, in other words, bugs and suggestions. If you have a question, feedback or suggestions, please check our support page.

In general, things we find useful when reviewing suggestions are:

• A description of the problem you're trying to solve
• An overview of the suggested solution
• Examples of how the suggestion would work in various places
  • Code examples showing e.g. "this would be an error, this wouldn't"
  • Code examples showing the generated JavaScript (if applicable)
• If relevant, precedent in other languages can be useful for establishing context and expected behavior

3. Did you find a bug?

When logging a bug, please be sure to include the following:

• Which sample and in what programming language
• If at all possible, an isolated way to reproduce the behavior
• The behavior you expect to see, and the actual behavior
