The Rubinius issue tracker is http://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/issues.
To be useful, tickets must be concise, focused, and actionable. If not, the ticket will languish and become clutter. Accordingly, tickets must fall into one (or more) of the following categories:
If your issue doesn’t fit into one of the categories, it is not invalid. It is simply not appropriate for a ticket.
Double-check.
Give your ticket a specific, preferably short title.
Give your ticket appropriate tags.
Give enough detail about the issue.
uname -a
is usually good (if there are any
“unknown” fields in it, please elaborate on those.)Unless for some reason impossible, please use ‘git-format-patch’ to create the patchset. It is much easier to apply and it preserves the correct attribution. Otherwise, a unified diff.
Suppose the following spec exists and is failing:
describe "Kernel.format" do
it "is accessible as a module function" do
Kernel.format("%s", "hello").should == "hello"
end
end
