spack/.github/issue_template.md

If you want to report a build error for some package, or a bug in core please use the following template as a guideline:

---

Summary

Expected Result

What you expected

Actual Result

What happened instead

Steps to reproduce the issue

$ spack <command1> <spec>
$ spack <command2> <spec>
...

Information on your system

This includes:

1. which platform you are using
2. any relevant configuration detail (custom packages.yaml or modules.yaml, etc.)

---

We encourage you to try, as much as possible, to reduce your problem to the minimal example that still reproduces the issue. That would help us a lot in fixing it quickly and effectively!

If you want to ask a question about the tool (how to use it, what it can currently do, etc.), try the #general channel on our Slack first. We have a welcoming community and chances are you'll get your reply faster and without opening an issue.

Other than that, thanks for taking the time to contribute to Spack!
