Bug Issue Template

As a developer, I would like to have a bug issue template to automate the issue creation process related to bugs.

Give contributors issue templates that help you cut through the noise and help them push your project forward.

Reference https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/description_templates.md

Description template example

We make use of Description Templates for Issues and Merge Requests within the GitLab Community Edition project. Please refer to the .gitlab folder for some examples.

Tip: It is possible to use quick actions within description templates to quickly add labels, assignees, and milestones. The quick actions will only be executed if the user submitting the Issue or Merge Request has the permissions to perform the relevant actions.

Here is an example for a Bug report template:

Summary

(Summarize the bug encountered concisely)


Steps to reproduce

(How one can reproduce the issue - this is very important)


Example Project

(If possible, please create an example project here on GitLab.com that exhibits the problematic behaviour, and link to it here in the bug report)

(If you are using an older version of GitLab, this will also determine whether the bug has been fixed in a more recent version)


What is the current bug behavior?

(What actually happens)


What is the expected correct behavior?

(What you should see instead)


Relevant logs and/or screenshots

(Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output,
logs, and code as it's very hard to read otherwise.)


Possible fixes

(If you can, link to the line of code that might be responsible for the problem)

/label ~bug ~reproduced ~needs-investigation
