## I Have a Question
3830

39-
Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing [Issues](/issues) that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue.
40-
41-
If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:
42-
43-
- Open an [Issue](/issues/new).
44-
- Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
45-
- Provide project and platform versions (nodejs, npm, SDK version, etc), depending on what seems relevant.
46-
47-
We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.
31+
If you have a question about setting up the SDK or using the tooling, or you believe that you found a bug,

please contact us at [email protected]!

### Reporting Bugs

#### Before Submitting a Bug Report
60-
61-
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.
62-
63-
- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
64-
- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the relevant SDK documentation. If you are looking for support, you might want to check [this section](#i-have-a-question)).
65-
- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug tracker](issues?q=label%3Abug).
66-
- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the GitHub community have discussed the issue.
67-
- Collect information about the bug:
68-
- Stack trace (Traceback)
69-
- OS, Platform and Version
70-
- Version of the runtime environment, SDK version, tooling version, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
71-
- Possibly your input and the output
72-
- Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?

#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?
77-
78-
> You must never report security related issues, vulnerabilities or bugs including sensitive information to the issue tracker, or elsewhere in public. Instead sensitive bugs must be sent by email to [email protected].
79-
80-
We use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:
81-
82-
- Open an [Issue](/issues/new). (Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the issue.)
83-
- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
84-
- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the _reproduction steps_ that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
85-
- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.
86-
87-
Once it's filed:
88-
89-
- The project team will label the issue accordingly.
90-
- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the issue as `needs-repro`. Bugs with the `needs-repro` tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced.
91-
- If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked `needs-fix`, as well as possibly other tags (such as `critical`), and the issue will be left to be [implemented by someone](#your-first-code-contribution).

### Suggesting Enhancements
94-
95-
This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for Backtrace Javascript SDK, **including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality**. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.

99-
#### Before Submitting an Enhancement
100-
101-
- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
102-
- Read the relevant SDK/tooling documentation carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
103-
- Perform a [search](/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
104-
- 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 project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library.

#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?
109-
110-
Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [GitHub issues](/issues).
111-
112-
- Use a **clear and descriptive title** with valid prefix for the issue to identify the suggestion.
113-
- We use **squash commits** when merging pull requests, so the title should resemble a [commit message](#commit-messages)
114-
- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement** in as many details as possible.
115-
- **Describe the current behavior** and **explain which behavior you expected to see instead** and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
116-
- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most Backtrace Javascript SDK users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.
