14.5 Sending a Bug Report

While StumpWM’s code-base is quite mature, it still contains some bugs. If you encounter one here are some guidelines for making sure the developers can fix it:

• Include a procedure for reproducing the bug/bad behavior. Ideally this will include numbered steps starting with instructions on how you start StumpWM. Also include what the expected behavior was.
• Be as detailed as possible. Then add more detail!
• Make sure its not something you introduced by using an empty ‘.xinitrc’ containing only ‘exec /path/to/stumpwm’.
• Make sure the bug is present even when ‘.stumpwmrc’ is empty.
• If you are using the git version, include the hash of the master branch, or better include the commit when you started to notice the bug.
• If you have code that fixes the bug, then open a pull request at https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/compare/.
• If you don’t have code to fix the bug, then open an issue at https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/issues/new.
