| <h1>Before you report a bug</h1> |
| |
| <p>The SLF4J community consists of those who use SLF4J and its |
| implementations, help answer questions on discussions lists, |
| contribute documentation and patches, and those who develop and |
| maintain the code for SLF4J and its implementations. Almost all |
| those who assist on a day to day basis resolving bug reports do |
| this for a wide variety of reasons, and almost all of them do this |
| on their own time. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Many bugs reported end up not being a bug in SLF4J, but are due |
| to misconfiguration, problems caused by installed applications, |
| the operating system, etc. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Before reporting a bug please make every effort to resolve the |
| problem yourself. <em>Just reporting a bug will not fix it. A good |
| bug report includes a detailed description of the problem and a |
| succinct test case which can reproduce the problem.</em> |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Review the documentation</h3> |
| |
| <p>Review the documentation for the version of component you are |
| using. The problem you are having may already be addressed in the |
| docs. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Search the mailing list archives</h3> |
| |
| <p>It is very likely you are not the first to run into a problem. |
| Others may have already found a solution. Our various <a |
| href="mailing-lists.html">mailing lists</a> are likely to have |
| discussed this problem before. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Search Bugzilla</h3> |
| |
| <p>Please search the bug database to see if the bug you are seeing |
| has already been reported. The bug may have already been fixed |
| and is available in a later version. If someone else has reported |
| the same bug, you could add supporting information to help |
| reproduce and resolve the bug. |

| <h2>Reporting with Bugzilla</h2> |
| |
| <p>Only after you have exhausted the aforementioned steps, should |
| you file a formal report in bugzilla. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Please make sure you provide as much information as |
| possible. Its very hard to fix a bug if the person looking into |
| the problem can't reproduce it. |
