How to file a bug report via Google Code

[UnderFlow]

Recently there has been a discussion in the Developer's Corner about the possibile utilization of a bug tracker for Forge. The main advantage of such an application is that your bug reports cannot get lost in a 300+ pages thread, but it also provides a clean way to comment on bugs and it reduces the number of duplicate reports (provided you use the search function ).

So here is a short tutorial on how to use Google Code to report bugs:

• Go to http://code.google.com/p/cardforge/issues/list.
• Get a Googlemail account if you don't have one already.
• Search for existing open issues with key words from your bug report (e.g. "Sphinx-Bone Wand"). If an issue describing your bug does already exist, you can provide additional information in its comment section.
• Post your issue by clicking on "new issue". You will receive a template that you can fill out. Under "version", write the release date of the beta (e.g. "BETA 06/12/2011") or the revision you used to compile your Forge version if you use the SVN (e.g. "Revision 9875"; command: "./svn.exe info forge-svn").
  

  

• If there are news regarding your issue, you will automatically be notified via your Googlemail address.

The current Google code site is

We should probably get Rares to delete the other one. I didn't even know it existed.

And it has recent activity too...

What project should I delete?

http://code.google.com/p/forge-card-game/

Apparently some people posted on there but none of the devs are on it.

This URL looks like it is the URL that Rares uses for the forge release that he mentions in his blog. He has a link to http://code.google.com/p/forge-card-game/ on his blog site.

I do not think that he will want to delete his own googlecode site.

I see what is going on. I use forge-card-game to post files and the devs use cardforge for the SVN and some people report errors on forge-card-game. I created a separate project because I received a DMCA notice from Google and I panicked. I haven't received another DMCA notice since.

I cut and pasted UnderFlow's directions and posted How to Report an Error on my blog. Thanks for the detailed instructions UnderFlow.

how does this change now that we're using Mantis?
