Create issues and discussions#
Content contributors can be active participants in enhancing and adding to PyAnsys libraries. In addition to reviewing and creating PRs, you can create issues and discussions on the Issues page and Discussions page of a GitHub repository.
Issues report, track, and manage bugs, feature requests, and other project-related tasks. Issues help to organize development efforts and prioritize work. Once an issue is created, you and others can leave comments to provide additional information, solutions, and progress updates.
Discussions foster communication and interaction among community members, contributors, and project maintainers. Discussions help to centralize conversations on particular topics, such as general usage questions or product announcements. You can also use discussions to facilitate brainstorming, planning, and the gathering of feedback.
Create an issue#
To report an issue, request a new feature, or ask for project-specific troubleshooting assistance, create an issue in the project’s repository:
Go to the project repository.
Click the Issues tab to go to the Issues page.
In the upper right corner, click New Issue.
If the page that opens lists templates, click Get Started for the appropriate template.
In most repositories, these issue templates are available:
Bug, problem, error: For filing a bug report
Documentation issue: For requesting modifications to the documentation
Adding an example for Python project: For proposing a new example for a client library
New feature: For requesting enhancements to the code
If your issue does not fit one of these templates, you can click the Open a blank issue link.
Complete the form that is shown, providing a clear and detailed description of the issue. Include any relevant error messages, code snippets, and screenshots.
Click Submit new issue.
If you have general questions about the PyAnsy ecosystem, contact the PyAnsy core team.
Create a discussion#
To post questions, share ideas, and get community feedback, create a discussion in the project’s repository:
Go to the project repository.
Click the Discussions tab to go to the Discussions page.
Note
In some repositories, the Discussions page is not available because the project maintainers want you to always use the Discussions page on the Ansys Developer portal instead.
In the upper right corner, click New discussion.
If the page that opens lists templates, click Get Started for the appropriate template.
In most repositories, these discussion templates are available:
Announcements: For filing a bug report
General: For chatting about anything and everything
Ideas: For sharing ideas for new features
Polls: For taking a vote from the community
Q&A: For asking the community for help
Show and tell: For showing off something that you’ve made
