# Contributing to Vault
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Please note:** We take Vault's security and our users' trust very seriously.
|
||
|
|
If you believe you have found a security issue in Vault, please responsibly
|
||
|
|
disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**First:** if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or submit the
|
||
|
|
issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at for giving it your best
|
||
|
|
effort. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change
|
||
|
|
something. We appreciate any sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of
|
||
|
|
rules to get in the way of that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That said, if you want to ensure that a pull request is likely to be merged,
|
||
|
|
talk to us! You can find out our thoughts and ensure that your contribution
|
||
|
|
won't clash or be obviated by Vault's normal direction. A great way to do this
|
||
|
|
is via the [Vault Google Group][2]. Sometimes Vault devs are in `#vault-tool`
|
||
|
|
on Freenode, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document will cover what we're looking for in terms of reporting issues.
|
||
|
|
By addressing all the points we're looking for, it raises the chances we can
|
||
|
|
quickly merge or address your contributions.

||

## Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting an Issue
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make sure you test against the latest released version. It is possible
|
||
|
|
we already fixed the bug you're experiencing. Even better is if you can test
|
||
|
|
against `master`, as bugs are fixed regularly but new versions are only
|
||
|
|
released every few months.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Provide steps to reproduce the issue, and if possible include the expected
|
||
|
|
results as well as the actual results. Please provide text, not screen shots!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you are seeing an internal Vault error (a status code of 5xx), please be
|
||
|
|
sure to post relevant parts of (or the entire) Vault log, as often these
|
||
|
|
errors are logged on the server but not reported to the user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you experienced a panic, please create a [gist](https://gist.github.com)
|
||
|
|
of the *entire* generated crash log for us to look at. Double check
|
||
|
|
no sensitive items were in the log.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Respond as promptly as possible to any questions made by the Vault
|
||
|
|
team to your issue. Stale issues will be closed periodically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Issue Lifecycle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The issue is reported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. The issue is verified and categorized by a Vault collaborator.
|
||
|
|
Categorization is done via tags. For example, bugs are marked as "bugs".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Unless it is critical, the issue may be left for a period of time (sometimes
|
||
|
|
many weeks), giving outside contributors -- maybe you!? -- a chance to
|
||
|
|
address the issue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. The issue is addressed in a pull request or commit. The issue will be
|
||
|
|
referenced in the commit message so that the code that fixes it is clearly
|
||
|
|
linked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. The issue is closed. Sometimes, valid issues will be closed to keep
|
||
|
|
the issue tracker clean. The issue is still indexed and available for
|
||
|
|
future viewers, or can be re-opened if necessary.
