(Quick Reference) # 22.1 Report Issues in JIRA - Reference Documentation Authors: Graeme Rocher, Peter Ledbrook, Marc Palmer, Jeff Brown, Luke Daley, Burt Beckwith, Lari Hotari Version: 2.4.4 ## 22.1 Report Issues in JIRA Grails uses JIRA to track issues in the core framework, its documentation, its website, and many of the public plugins. If you've found a bug or wish to see a particular feature added, this is the place to start. You'll need to create a (free) JIRA account in order to either submit an issue or comment on an existing one. When submitting issues, please provide as much information as possible and in the case of bugs, make sure you explain which versions of Grails and various plugins you are using. Also, an issue is much more likely to be dealt with if you attach a reproducible sample application (which can be packaged up using the `grails bug-report` command). ### Reviewing issues There are quite a few old issues in JIRA, some of which may no longer be valid. The core team can't track down these alone, so a very simple contribution that you can make is to verify one or two issues occasionally. Which issues need verification? A shared JIRA filter will display all issues that haven't been resolved and haven't been reviewed by someone else in the last 6 months. Just pick one or two of them and check whether they are still relevant. Once you've verified an issue, simply edit it and set the "Last Reviewed" field to today. If you think the issue can be closed, then also check the "Flagged" field and add a short comment explaining why. Once those changes are saved, the issue will disappear from the results of the above filter. If you've flagged it, the core team will review and close if it really is no longer relevant. One last thing: you can easily set the above filter as a favourite on this JIRA screen so that it appears in the "Issues" drop down. Just click on the star next to a filter to make it a favourite. | Quick Reference (hide)
