Before You Report an Issue...

Before you report an issue, please consult the FAQ.

Reporting an Issue

If you have an issue with ack, please add the following to your ticket:

• What OS you're on
• What version of ack you're using

Please try to reproduce your issue against the latest ack from git. If you are not able to reproduce the issue with ack built from git, you should probably file the issue anyway, as that probably means someone needs to make a release. =)

Also appreciated with an issue are the following:

• Example invocations along with expected vs received output (see #439, great job!)
• A .t test file that tests and verifies the behavior you expect
• A patch that fixes your issue

Ack 1.x

Keep in mind that if you're using ack 1.x, you should probably upgrade, as ack 1.x is no longer supported.
