Bug Reporting Guidelines

You can report both bugs and feature requests.

User acceptance testing

Currently we are mainly taking bugs on:

• Colombia (Production): ​http://colombia.sahanafoundation.org
• Demo (Development): ​http://demo.eden.sahanafoundation.org

When there is a production instance running, progression of code is normally from Dev -> UAT -> Prod

How to report a bug or request a feature

• We use Trac to manage bugs and feature requests.
  • Report a new bug.
  • Search for existing bugs.
  • See a list of active bugs.
  • ​LaunchPad also has some tickets logged.
• You don't have to be logged in on Trac to report bugs, but...
  • If you are not logged in, be sure to solve the little arithmetic problem that serves as a Captcha to keep out bots. If you see a page with "System offline" when you connect to Trac, it means Trac thinks you're a bot and has banned your IP address. Contact us on the ​sahana-eden@googlegroups.com mailing list or on IRC channel #sahana-eden on freenode.net (Chat) if this happens.
  • You can register for an account.
• Please check to see if the bug you've found has already been reported.
• Please provide full details to reproduce the problem, like the example below.
• Be clear on which system your test is run against - e.g. ​http://demo.eden.sahanafoundation.org.
• You may also wish to check the ​Commit Logs to see if the bug is being fixed. (Note to bug fixers -- please accept the bug and say you're working on it.)
• Screenshots are good for showing the main problem screen if hard to explain, however, if you get a ticket, then simply the ticket ID would be better than a screenshot, as can simply copy/paste to find the relevant ticket)
• If the bug is relatively simple to resolve, please add the keywork "easy", so it will appear on the Easy Bugs for Beginners Report.

Bug Priorities

• Critical - big functionality, stability and data integrity defects in a Production instance
• Major - functionality and data integrity defects in UAT only
• Minor - Data validation defects, Domain defects, Usability defects
• Trivial - UI, Style, Labelling

Bug Types

• Defect - bug: software gets an error or doesn't do what it's supposed to.
• Enhancement - feature request.
• Documentation - mistake or omission in the wiki or online help. Note you can request a Trac account and help fix documentation on the wiki.
