Notes on Bug Reporting

--- Quote from: gnome on July 11, 2014, 12:53:11 pm ---I believe I've encountered the same bug twice, where attempting to leave a Necromancer site via fast travel has resulted in a crash. I'm not sure if I was far enough away or not for it to count being on the site, but I think it has something to do with their tower.

If you're using 0.40.02, it would be helpful to upload your save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ and post the link at that report.

Some reports you should consider for closing:

Is there any reason why duplicate/not-bug issues are being marked as "resolved", rather than just "closed", on Mantis? Looking back this used (2012) to happen. It's currently quite difficult to work out what's been fixed given the huge number of issues that are marked as resolved - whilst usually looking for "Toady One" works for finding real fixes, sometimes someone else marks an actually resolved bug as resolved (presumably when he forgets or something)!
(Of course, you might argue it's easier to just view Toady's daily updates...)

This comes up now and then:
--- Quote from: Footkerchief on April 04, 2010, 05:25:02 pm ---Someone raised the same issue on the tracker. This is what I told them:
--- Quote ---I'm setting them as "resolved" so that Toady can review them before closing them. As far as I can tell, that's the expected workflow for Mantis, so I'm trying it out. Also, when you resolve tickets, it gives you to the opportunity to also set a duplicate relationship, which is more convenient than doing it as two separate steps.

In addition to the fact that Mantis makes it easier to do things this way, here's a workflow diagram for general bug tracking:

If you want to see the fixes only, the changelog is the best way. However, you can also filter on the 'resolution' field.

Ah, it does make sense that the changelog only includes actual fixes - it never clicked in my head that it does exactly what I'm thinking of, despite viewing it several times!
