I was submitting a bug report on Github, and thought it would be nice if there has a sticky topic on here with a template for submitting bug reports.
Something like this (keep it basic):
Attn: Before Submitting A Bug Report please confirm/try the following, if possible. Please note, after each step try starting in dev mode ./nodebb dev
and take note of any errors or warnings written to the console.
-
Disable theme ./nodebb reset theme
-
Disable all plugins ./nodebb reset plugins
a. If you want to disable one at a time use this instead: ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-PLUGIN_NAME_HERE"
-
Confirm all necessary services for your instance are running and available:
a. Database
b. Apache/Nginx (If you use them)
c. Make sure your port is open and accessible
-
If you've updated to a newer version of nodebb make sure you did the following:
a. npm install
b. ./nodebb upgrade
If the above didn't work please use the template below to submit a bug report
- NodeBB Version
- Current Active Plugins (If any)
- Current Active Theme
- Bug Severity: 1 (lowest) - 5 (highest)
- Bug Description
- How to duplicate?
These are just some thoughts...would need to be more precise and formatted with some markdown. Just wanted to throw the idea out there...
