You found a problem in one of my libraries? Thanks for letting me know!
I want to fix it, but I need your help:
Please create a Minimal Reproducible Example (reprex) that I can run.
Why
I don’t see what you see.
It works for me, otherwise I would have already fixed it.
So to fix your problem, I need to run a program that reproduces it on my machine.
Only then can I see what causes it and what changes will fix it.
Reproducible
An image is not enough if I can’t recreate it on my own.
A code snippet is no good if it references your own code that I don’t have.
Give me code that I can run and debug.
Minimal
Not your whole project, not private code. Just a small project with enough code to show the problem.
How to create a repex – the easy path
- Fork the library repo. (How to fork?)
- Open the project in the
Exampledirectory. - Change the code there to make the problem appear.
- Commit and push.
Now just link to your fork in your bug report, and write the steps to reproduce the problem.
That’s it! Thanks for helping me help you.
