# Fixing Bugs

The process for fixing bugs are as follows:

- Check the current [Backlog](https://github.com/orgs/wailsapp/projects/1/views/1) and select a bug to fix
- Before developing, check that the ticket includes the following information:
- The scope of the issue including platforms affected
- The steps to reproduce. Sometimes bugs are opened that are not Wails issues and the onus is on the reporter to prove that it is a Wails issue with a minimal reproducible example
- The output of `wails doctor`
- If the ticket does not include this information, feel free to request the information from the person who opened the ticket.
- Comment on the ticket stating you wish to develop a fix
- Clone the repository and create a branch with the format `bugfix/<ticket_number>_<ticket_title>`
- Once the fix is ready for testing, create a draft PR. Please ensure the PR description has the test scenarios and test cases listed with checkmarks, so that others can know what still needs to be tested.
- Once all the testing is completed, please update the status of the PR from draft and leave a message.

:::note
There is nothing stopping you from opening a ticket and working on it yourself, but please be aware that all
bugfixes should be discussed as the approach may have unintended side effects.

:::warning
Any PRs opened without a corresponding ticket may be rejected.
