This document is thanks to Mark Mandel, in which I deliverately copied and modified. (Thanks Mark :) )
Required Information for support
- What version of ColdBox you are using?
- What CFML Engine you are on, and what version it is?
- What Operating System you are on ?
Required information if an error has occurred
- The FULLerror trace, including all templates, the line the error occurred, and
the full error message.
- Your Coldbox.xml file and any supporting files.
- The surrounding code that the error is occurring at, along with an explanation of what it does
Some things to consider
- There can never be too much information in a support request
- Make sure you search all available resources first - including
this google group. Asking a question that has been answered a zillion
times tends to irritate people, and irritated people don't tend to give
out help.
- If
you are not in front of the error / issue / computer, its probably
better to wait until you are, because you are just going to get asked
for more specific information, e.g. an exact copy paste of the error.
- If you're not sure to write something down, write it down anyway, in case it is actually needed
- Feel free to dig into the framework and see if you can work out what the issue is, in fact, its encouraged
- If it is a complicated issue, a small test bed available for download which shows off the issue/bug is highly appreciated
