<h1><a name="top">Report Issue</a></h1>
|
|
<p>First of all make sure that you're running the latest version
|
|
(<code>Help - Check for update</code> or
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/chatty/chatty/releases">GitHub Releases</a>).
|
|
Updating (including to a beta, if available) may already fix your issue.
|
|
If not, then include as much information as possible in your report,
|
|
such as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Chatty version, Java version, OS (can be found in the output of the
|
|
command <code>/appinfo</code>)</li>
|
|
<li>What is the issue? Describe is thoroughly, include screenshots if
|
|
possible.</li>
|
|
<li>When did the issue first occur, has it occured more than once?</li>
|
|
<li>Can you reproduce the issue, and if so how exactly? Be as clear as
|
|
possible. Reproducing an issue is often elemental in fixing it.</li>
|
|
<li>The complete error message (if an error message was shown).</li>
|
|
<li>If possible, include the <a href="#log">Debug Log</a> of when the
|
|
issue occured.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you don't include this information, it will be harder to help you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The best way to report an issue is usually in <a href="https://discord.gg/WTuqGeJ">the Chatty Discord</a>,
|
|
because you're not as limited in message length as on Twitter, there are
|
|
other people there that may be able to help and you can easily upload
|
|
screenshots or short videos. But if you prefer,
|
|
<a href="https://twitter.com/chattyclient">Twitter</a> and
|
|
<a href="mailto:chattyclient@gmail.com">E-Mail</a> are also available.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also open a <a href="https://github.com/chatty/chatty/issues">GitHub Issue</a>,
|
|
which contains a template for reporting an issue which you should follow.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please only contact me via one of the mentioned ways at a time. Reporting
|
|
the same issue in several different places is just confusing and will
|
|
probably hinder the solving of your issue.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="log">Debug Log</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Chatty is writing a debug log, which you can view in two ways:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>While Chatty is running via <code>Extra - Debug Window</code>:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Log - The main Debug Log (this is usually what you want)</li>
|
|
<li>Irc log - Raw communication with Twitch Chat (has to be enabled)</li>
|
|
<li>FFZ-WS - Raw communication with FFZ Websocket server</li>
|
|
<li>PubSub - Raw communication with Twitch PubSub</li>
|
|
<li>Other - More specialized debug messages, most of which have to be enabled first</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>In the Debug files, located in the settings directory</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Debug log files</h3>
|
|
<p>The debug log files are located in the settings directory, in the
|
|
subfolder <code>debuglogs</code>. While Chatty is running you can use
|
|
the command <code>/opendir</code> to open the settings directory in the
|
|
file browser, then open <code>debuglogs</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two kinds of debug files:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The <code>debug.log</code> which is overwritten everytime you start
|
|
Chatty. It may also have a number at the end (like <code>debug.log.1</code>)
|
|
if Java couldn't open the usual <code>debug.log</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>Several files (<code>debug0.log, debug1.log, ..</code>), whereas
|
|
one of them is written to at a time, and then switched to the next when
|
|
a certain filesize is reached, rotating between a certain number of files.
|
|
Those files are not overwritten when Chatty is started, but instead new data is appended.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>So to find possibly relevant data:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>If you haven't started Chatty again after the error occured, check
|
|
the <code>debug.log</code> first.</li>
|
|
<li>Otherwise check if one of the <code>debug0.log, debug1.log, ..</code>
|
|
files could contain the necessary information, based on the last
|
|
modification dates.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Even if the error is already some time back, it <em>may</em> still
|
|
be in there, depending on how much data has been added in the meantime.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ol>
