Bug statuses

From webtreesWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

In the webtrees bug tracking system, bugs can be assigned a number of different statuses.

  • New - the bug is waiting for a developer to investigate it.
  • Incomplete - one of the developers has tried to reproduce the error, but was unsuccessful. The person who raised the bug should provide more information.
  • Opinion - not really a bug. For example, "the edit system is really hard to use".
  • Invalid -
    • the system is working as designed (although requests for design changes are welcome - discuss them on the forum).
    • the problem is a configuration or training issue.
    • the bug report contains more than one bug; reports containing multiple bugs should be resumbitted as separate bugs
  • Won't fix - the bug has been confirmed, but will not be fixed. Typically this would be used when we plan to remove/replace/rewrite the module containing the bug.
  • Confirmed - one of the developers has managed to reproduce the bug.
  • Triaged - the bug has been confirmed, and assigned a priority.
  • In progress - one of the developers has started work on the bug. This status is used to stop two developers trying to work on the same bug.
  • Fix committed - a fix for the bug has been committed to the source-code configuration system (SVN), and will be included in the next nightly/snapshot build. A comment should say which SVN version contains the fix.
  • Fix released - a fix for the bug has been released in an official/stable release of webtrees.
