Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the process of raising Sprout issues easy and effective for everyone involved.
Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of the team managing and developing Sprout. In return, the Sprout team will reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing new feature requests.
The issue tracker is the preferred channel for bug reports, features requests, but please respect the following restrictions:
-
Please do not use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use the Sprout Support Center).
-
Please do not derail or troll issues. Keep the discussion on topic and respect the opinions of others.
A bug is a demonstrable problem that is caused by the code in the repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!
Guidelines for bug reports:
-
Use the GitHub issue search — check if the issue has already been reported.
-
Provide a Reproducible Example — try to reproduce the bug using screenshots and specific information from Usertest. DO NOT PUT PII ON THE ISSUE TRACKER.
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these details will help people to fix any potential bugs.
Example:
Short and descriptive example bug report title
A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug.
- This is the first step
- This is the second step
- Further steps, etc.
<url>- a link to the sprout URL in which the bug is taking place.Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being reported.
Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to 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 Sprout team of the merits of this feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible.
