- Submit a test case, the smaller, the better. You can do
this by clicking on the "Create a new attachment" link. When attaching
a file, please set the correct MIME type from the list. For source
code, "Plain text" is ok. For tar.gz or .gz files, you can enter
"application/x-gzip" in the "Other" text box.
- Use to report the bug. In addition
to bugzilla, posting to the list is fine if the bug merits larger
exposure or design discussions to solve; posting to the list twice or
more is just a way to annoy people and make them waste time, specially
when you start a new thread about it.
- If the test involves libraries or assemblies that are not
part of mono, add infomation on where to download all dependencies, and
how to compile/install them.
- If compiling the test case requires more than: mcs test.cs provide the full command line you used to compile the test.
- If running the test requires more than: mono test.exe provide the full command line needed to replicate the bug.
- Provide info about the version of the software you're using (both mono and the operating system or relevant libraries).
- Provide the output you expect the test case to produce.
- Provide the actual output you get from the test case.
- If you are new to bug reporting, understand how you should set "priority" for your report. People tend to set CRITICAL or BLOCKER
where they should not. Please keep in mind: no matter how important the
bug is for you, it is nothing to do with the importance of the bug
itself.
Please include at least 6 items from the list in your bug report.
Incomplete bug reports are very hard to understand, reproduce and fix.
