# Contributing to iDempiere
|
||||
|
||||
First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! +1
|
||||
|
||||
We need volunteer developers to help this project come to fruition.
|
||||
|
||||
If you haven't already, come find us in [Mattermost](https://mattermost.idempiere.org/). We want you working on things you're excited about.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to iDempiere. These are mostly guidelines, not rules.
|
||||
Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, make sure that you read our [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).This project and everyone participating in
|
||||
it is governed by the iDempiere's Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
|
||||
Please report unacceptable behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some important resources:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Test sites](https://www.idempiere.org/test-sites) lets you try iDempiere without installing it,
|
||||
* Bugs, feature requests and improvements? Use the [ticketing system for iDempiere](https://idempiere.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa) - our JIRA system (for support please use our [forums](https://www.idempiere.org/forums))
|
||||
* Mattermost: [Support channel](https://mattermost.idempiere.org/idempiere/channels/support). We're usually there during business hours.
|
||||
|
||||
## How Can I Contribute?
|
||||
|
||||
### **Did you find a bug?**
|
||||
* **Do not open up a JIRA ticket if the bug is a security vulnerability in iDempiere**,
|
||||
and instead refer to our [security policy](https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/How_to_report_a_vulnerability) page.
|
||||
* **Ensure the bug was not already reported** by searching on JIRA under [Issues](https://idempiere.atlassian.net/issues/).
|
||||
**Note:** If you find a **Closed** issue that seems like it is the same thing that you're experiencing, open a new issue and include a link to the original issue in the body of your new one.
|
||||
* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new one. Be sure to include a
|
||||
**title and clear description**, as much relevant information as possible, and a **code sample** or an **executable test case**
|
||||
demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring, it is a good idea if you can reproduce the bug in one of the
|
||||
[test servers](https://www.idempiere.org/test-sites) before you create a ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Before Submitting A Bug Report
|
||||
|
||||
* **Check if you can reproduce the problem in the latest version of iDempiere.
|
||||
* **Check the [FAQs on the forum](https://www.idempiere.org/forums)** for a list of common questions and problems.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How Do I Submit A (Good) Bug Report?
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs are tracked as [JIRA issues](https://idempiere.atlassian.net/issues/).
|
||||
|
||||
Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Use a clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the problem.
|
||||
* **Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem** in as many details as possible.
|
||||
* **Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps**. If possible reproduce the problem with Garden data.
|
||||
* **Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps** and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
|
||||
* **Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.**
|
||||
* **Include screenshots and videos** - if possible, which show you following the described steps and clearly demonstrate the problem.
|
||||
* **If you're reporting that iDempiere crashed**, include a crash report with a stack trace from the log files.
|
||||
* **If the problem is related to performance or memory**, include valid numbers.
|
||||
* **If the problem wasn't triggered by a specific action**, describe what you were doing before the problem happened and share more information using the guidelines below.
|
||||
|
||||
Provide more context by answering these questions:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Can you reproduce the problem in [the test sites](https://www.idempiere.org/test-sites)?**
|
||||
* **Did the problem start happening recently** (e.g. after updating to a new version of iDempiere) or was this always a problem?
|
||||
* If the problem started happening recently, **can you reproduce the problem in an older version of iDempiere?** What's the most recent version in which the problem doesn't happen?
|
||||
* **Can you reliably reproduce the issue?** If not, provide details about how often the problem happens and under which conditions it normally happens.
|
||||
|
||||
