| # Reporting Issues |
| |
| Thank you for helping to improve Cordova! All Cordova issues should now be reported on [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/cordova). Our JIRA issue tracker has been closed, and new issues can no longer be opened there. |
| |
| ## Creating an issue on GitHub |
| |
| Find the repository of the component which your issue applies to. To figure out which repository to report your issue to, you can take a look at the [full list of Cordova repositories](https://github.com/apache?q=cordova). Some of the most popular repositories are: |
| |
| * [cordova-android](https://github.com/apache/cordova-android): core Android functionality |
| * [cordova-ios](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios): core iOS functionality |
| * [cordova-cli](https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli): command-line tool (the `cordova` command) |
| * [cordova-docs](https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs): the Cordova website and documentation |
| |
| Once you have found the correct repository to create your issue in, go to the _Issues_ tab, and click _New issue_. Simply fill out the issue template, and submit your issue. |
| |
| # Issue Priority |
| |
| We gauge issue priority on the following scale: |
| * **Minor/Trivial:** The feature or bug is very specific or only affects a few people |
| * **Major:** The feature or bug is important and impacts many people |
| * **Critical:** Bugs (not features) that block the main function of a component and affect a large number of people (e.g. the camera plugin can't take pictures in iOS version x.x) |
| * **Blocker:** Catastrophic bugs that prevent projects from building or cause basic projects to crash immediately. It is very unlikely that a bug is a Blocker |
| |
| If you aren't sure about the priority, leave the default (major) selected. Please be aware that as our contributors triage issues, they may change the priority based on our criteria. |
| |
| # Finding out versions |
| |
| You can quickly find out versions of platforms/plugins you're using by running: |
| |
| cordova platform ls |
| |
| or |
| |
| cordova plugin ls |
| |
| in your project respectively. You can find out the version of the Cordova CLI you're using by running: |
| |
| cordova --version |
| |
| # Generating CLI logs |
| |
| You can use `--verbose` flag to generate detailed logs for cordova build-time bugs related with the CLI. This helps significantly in debugging. |
