Before you create a new issue, please do a search in open issues to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed.
Be sure to scan through the most popular feature requests.
If you find your issue already exists, make relevant comments and add your reaction. Use a reaction in place of a "+1" comment:
- 👍 - upvote
- 👎 - downvote
If you cannot find an existing issue that describes your bug or feature, create a new issue using the guidelines below.
File a single issue per problem and feature request. Do not enumerate multiple bugs or feature requests in the same issue.
Provide as much information as you think might relevant to the context (thinking the issue is assigning to you, what kinds of info you will need to debug it!!!). To give you a general idea about what kinds of info are useful for developers to dig out the issue, we had provided issue template for you.
Once you had submitted an issue, be sure to follow it for questions and discussions.
Once the bug is fixed or feature is addressed, be sure to close the issue.
