👍 First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 👍
A CLA is a document that specifies how a project is allowed to use your contribution; they are commonly used in many open source projects.
All contributions to all projects hosted by FINOS must be made with a Foundation CLA in place, and there are additional legal requirements that must also be met.
As a result, PRs submitted to the FDC3 project cannot be accepted until you have a CLA in place with the Foundation.
- Have you searched for duplicates? A simple search for exception error messages or a summary of the unexpected behaviour should suffice.
- Are you running the latest version?
- Are you sure this is a bug or missing capability?
- Create your issue here.
- New issues contain two templates in the description: bug report and enhancement request. Please pick the most appropriate for your issue, then delete the other.
- Please also tag the new issue with either "Bug" or "Enhancement".
- Please use Markdown formatting
liberally to assist in readability.
- Code fences for exception stack traces and log entries, for example, massively improve readability.
To make review of PRs easier, please:
- Please make sure your PRs will merge cleanly - PRs that don't are unlikely to be accepted.
- For code contributions, follow the existing code layout.
- For documentation contributions, follow the general structure, language, and tone of the existing docs.
- Keep commits small and cohesive - if you have multiple contributions, please submit them as independent commits (and ideally as independent PRs too).
- Reference issue #s if your PR has anything to do with an issue (even if it doesn't address it).
- Minimise non-functional changes (e.g. whitespace shenanigans).
- Ensure all new files include a header comment block containing the Apache License v2.0 and your copyright information.
- If necessary (e.g. due to 3rd party dependency licensing requirements), update the NOTICE file with any new attribution or other notices
- Reference issues, wiki pages, and pull requests liberally!
- Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Use the imperative mood ("Move button left..." not "Moves button left...")
- Limit the first line to 72 characters or less
- Please start the commit message with one or more applicable emoji:
