Table of Contents

I Have a Question

Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing Issues that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue.

If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:

  • Open an Issue.
  • Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
  • Provide project and platform versions (nodejs, npm, etc), depending on what seems relevant.

We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.

Reporting Bugs

Before Submitting a Bug Report

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version.
  • Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the documentation. If you are looking for support, you might want to check this section).
  • To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the bug tracker.
  • Collect information about the bug:
    • Stack trace (Traceback)
    • OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
    • Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
    • Possibly your input and the output
  • Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?

How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?

Please submit a bug report using our GitHub Issues template.

Suggesting Enhancements

This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for evergreen, including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.

Before Submitting an Enhancement

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version.
  • Read the documentation carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
  • Perform a search to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
  • Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature or to develop the feature yourself and contribute it to the project.

How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?

Please submit an enhancement suggestion using our GitHub Issues template.

Pull Request Standards

We are using Conventional Commits to standardize our pull request titles. This allows us to automatically generate labels and changelogs and follow semantic versioning. Please follow the commit message format when creating a pull request. What pull request title prefixes are expected are in the pull_request_template.md that is shown when creating a pull request.

Releases

Releases are automated if a pull request is labelled with our SemVer related labels or with the vuln or release labels.

You can also manually initiate a release you can do so through the GitHub Actions UI. If you have permissions to do so, you can navigate to the Actions tab and select the Run workflow button. This will allow you to select the branch to release from and the version to release.
