How to submit an Issue to a Mycroft repository

When submitting an Issue to a Mycroft repository, please follow these guidelines to help us help you.

Be clear about the software, hardware and version you are running

For example:

  • I'm running a Mark 1
  • With version 0.9.10 of the Mycroft software
  • With the standard Wake Word

Try to provide steps that we can use to replicate the Issue

For example:

  1. Burn the 0.9.10 image to Micro SD card using Etcher
  2. Seat the Micro SD card in the RPi 3
  3. Boot Picroft
  4. Wait 3 minutes
  5. The red light will come on indicating that the RPi 3 is overheating
  6. Running htop via the command line indicates a number of Zombie'd processes

Be as specific as possible about the expected condition, and the deviation from expected condition.

This is called object-deviation format. Specify the object, then the deviation of the object from an expected condition.

Example 1:

  • When I say "Hey Mycroft, set your eyes to cadet blue", the eyes turn purple instead of blue.

Example 2:

  • When I say "Hey Mycroft, what time is it in Paris", the time spoken is out by one hour - it's not observing daylight savings time.

Example 3:

  • When I run msm default on my Mark 1, I receive lots of Git 'locked file' errors on the command line.

Provide log files or other output to help us see the error

We will normally require log files or other troubleshooting information to assist you with your Issue.

This documentation explains how to find log files.

As of version 0.9.10, the Support Skill also helps to automate gathering support information.

Simply say:

  • "Create a support ticket" or
  • "You're not working!" or
  • "Send me debug info"

and the Skill will put together a support package which you can email to us.

Upload any files to the Issue that will be useful in helping us to investigate

Please ensure you upload any relevant files - such as screenshots - which will aid us investigating.
