Jak zgłosić problem. - Rubinius
Author: Less Than Three. <3. http://less.thanthree.com
Description: Rubinius is an implementation of the Ruby programming language. The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++. The bytecode compiler is written in pure Ruby. The vast majority of the core library is also written in Ruby, with some supporting primitives that interact with the VM directly.

## Jak zgłosić problem.

The Rubinius issue tracker is http://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/issues.

To be useful, tickets must be concise, focused, and actionable. If not, the ticket will languish and become clutter. Accordingly, tickets must fall into one (or more) of the following categories:

1. A precise command line history showing how to install and invoke the program and showing the backtrace for an exception.
2. A short piece of code illustrating the problem and the command line to invoke it.
3. A patch, including specs if they do not already exist, and showing the spec runs before and after applying the patch.

If your issue doesn’t fit into one of the categories, it is not invalid. It is simply not appropriate for a ticket.

1. If it is a feature, consider discussing it on the mailing list. Also, you could take a crack at implementing it and demonstrate how your feature is useful.
2. If it is a library or gem that is not working, take some time to dig in and see if you can create a reproduction for an issue and post that as a ticket.

## General procedure for submitting a ticket

1. Double-check.

   1. Do a full rebuild (‘rake clean; rake’) after a ‘git pull’ or fresh clone.
   2. Read Troubleshooting to see if something there resolves the issue.
   3. Read Specs.

2. Give your ticket a specific, preferably short title.

3. Give your ticket appropriate tags.

4. Give enough detail about the issue.

   - The command line for invoking the program
   - The backtrace or result from the program versus expected result.
   - Your machine information. `uname -a` is usually good (if there are any “unknown” fields in it, please elaborate on those.)

## Additional instructions for tickets with patches

- Can be just a set of specs.
- Patches must be accompanied by specs unless the specs already exist.
- Relevant part of spec output and the exact ‘bin/mspec’ invocation from the existing or added spec before the fix.
- The spec output and the exact ‘bin/mspec’ invocation showing success after the fix.
- Additional description of your patch and how it fixes the problem. In particular with new functionality please indicate if it was already discussed on #rubinius or ruby-dev.

Unless for some reason impossible, please use ‘git-format-patch’ to create the patchset. It is much easier to apply and it preserves the correct attribution. Otherwise, a unified diff.

## Example of submitting a patch

Suppose the following spec exists and is failing:

    describe "Kernel.format" do
      it "is accessible as a module function" do
        Kernel.format("%s", "hello").should == "hello"
      end
    end

1. Ticket Title:

   “[PATCH] No method ‘format’ on Kernel (Module)”

2. Tags:

   “patch core spec”

3. Ticket Message:

   The method ‘format’ is not available as a module function of Kernel.

       $ bin/mspec spec/ruby/core/kernel/format_spec.rb
       Started
       .E

       1)
       Kernel.format is accessible as a module function ERROR
       No method 'format' on Kernel (Module):

   The method ‘format’ already exists but has not been set as a module function. This patch does so.

   After the patch is applied:

       $ bin/mspec spec/ruby/core/kernel/format_spec.rb
       Started
       ..

       Finished in 0.016031 seconds

4. Attachment:

Finally, put your patch in a gist and add the link to the gist to your issue. Below the patch is reproduced inline for completeness:
