Issuing Bug Reports and Feature Requests for PyBOMBS

Because PyBOMBS is a project on Github, we handle all pull requests, bug reports, and feature requests through the Github interface. The Contributing page covers how to add code to PyBOMBS using a Github pull request. In this page, we discuss using the Github interface.

Add a new bug report or feature request by going to the Issues page on the PyBOMBS Github interface. Click on the "New Issue" button and fill out the form. When filling out the form, be as detailed as possible. Here are some other tips:

• If it is a bug, we strongly encourage you to add a test case or step-by-step instructions to help us understand and exercise the bug.
• If you know a particular developer is good in the area of your request or is responsible for that area of code, you can specifically assign them to it.
• Add labels to help us identify the type and severity of the issue.
• Be detailed.

Some bugs can be resolved quickly while things like feature requests may not, so your patience is appreciated. Often, issues may be ignore because they are not clearly stated or are not easily replicated. Following the above lists of tips will help in these cases.
