# Bug reports / Github issues
|
|
|
|
When reporting a bug make sure you search the existing github issues for the
|
|
same/similar issues. If you find one, feel free to add a `+1` comment with any
|
|
additional information that may help us solve the issue.
|
|
|
|
When creating a new issue be sure to state the following:
|
|
|
|
* Steps to reproduce the bug.
|
|
* The version of vim you are using.
|
|
* The version of syntastic you are using.
|
|
|
|
For syntax checker bugs also state the version of the checker executable that you are using.
|
|
|
|
# Submitting a patch
|
|
|
|
* Fork the repo on github
|
|
* Make a [topic branch](https://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/wiki/Topic-Branches#using-topic-branches-when-contributing-patches) and start hacking
|
|
* Submit a pull request based off your topic branch
|
|
|
|
Small focused patches are preferred.
|
|
|
|
Large changes to the code should be discussed with the core team first. Create an issue and explain your plan and see what we say.
|

# General style notes
|
|
|
|
Following the coding conventions/styles used in the syntastic core:
|
|
|
|
* Use 4 space indents.
|
|
* Don't use abbreviated keywords - e.g. use `endfunction`, not `endfun` (there's always room for more fun!).
|
|
* Don't use `l:` prefixes for variables unless actually required (i.e. almost never).
|
|
* Code for maintainability. We would rather a function be a couple of lines longer and have (for example) some [explaining variables](http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/introduceExplainingVariable.html) to aid readability.

# Syntax checker style notes
|
|
|
|
The preferred style for error format strings is one "clause" per line. E.g.
|
|
(from the coffeelint checker):
|
|
|
|
```viml
|
|
let errorformat = '%E%f:%l:%c: %trror: %m,' .
|
|
\ 'Syntax%trror: In %f\, %m on line %l,' .
|
|
\ '%EError: In %f\, Parse error on line %l: %m,' .
|
|
\ '%EError: In %f\, %m on line %l,' .
|
|
\ '%W%f(%l): lint warning: %m,' .
|
|
\ '%W%f(%l): warning: %m,' .
|
|
\ '%E%f(%l): SyntaxError: %m,' .
|
|
\ '%-Z%p^,' .
|
|
\ '%-G%.%#'
|
|
```
