Taking the Quiz

To become a bug hunter you must pass our entry quiz. The quiz will test you on basic bug hunter knowledge that you can read here. To begin the quiz, send a direct message to Dbug bot and use the !quiz command.  

Adding Roles

To begin submitting bugs, you first need to get access to the category you want to submit a bug for. These commands should be ran in the DMs of the DBug bot.

Submitting a Bug

In order to submit a bug, you'll need to use the !submit command along with flags to give more details information of the bug!

Submitting a bug consists of multiple pieces of information and these pieces of information are notes using the following flags:

•  Here's an example of what this might look like altogether with the !submit command: 

!submit -t This is the title -r Step 1 ~ Step 2 ~ Step 3 ~ Step 4 -e This is what is supposed to happen -a This is what actually happens -c Canary 64104 (11dae40) -s Windows 10 pro, 64 bit

On the other hand, finding it difficult to write it yourself or does it just take too long? Fear not - we have a tool to help you out. 

Editing your Bug Report

You can edit your bug by using the !edit command, in case you need to update something or you made a mistake when writing the submit command.

Note: The flags to edit are the same as the !submit command, and you can update multiple flags at the same time!

• Editing one flag

!edit <id> -t This is the new Title

!edit <id> -r New step 1 ~ New step 2 ~ New step 3 ~ New step 4

• Editing multiple flags in one go

!edit <id> -t This is the new Title -e This is the new expected result

Saving your System Information

In order to help with the bug repro process (which we'll talk about in the section below), you can check and store your system information using the !info command!

• Checking your saved information

!info check

• Storing/updating your saved information

!info store <platformshorthand> system information

Example:!info store -a OnePlus 6 Android 1.2.3

• For storing settings, the following flags are available:

Reproducing Bugs

• Confirming the Ability to Reproduce a Bug

!canrepro <id> <information>

Example: !canrepro 2 samsung s20 - android 10

• Confirming the Inability to Reproduce a Bug

!cantrepro <id> cnr message

Example: !cantrepro 5 -w

You can use short hands (-a/-w/-i etc) from stored info in your message

Approval / Denials

You cannot approve your own bug

!approve <id> approval message

Denying your own bug will result in it immediately being moved to denied bugs.

!deny <id> denial message

You can use short hands in your approval / denial. In these commands the shorthands that can be used are: -a, -i, -w, -l, -m

Examples:

!approve <id> comment -w

!deny <id> -w denial message

Attachments to the Bug Report

In order to give more context to the bug, you can also add attachments to your bug report to help out with the investigation! The following attachment types are accepted:

• images: jpg, png, jpeg, heic
• gifs: gif, gifv, mp4
• video links: youtube, youtu, vimeo

NOTE: When attaching a video or screenshot make sure that there is no personal information, invites, slurs or other offensive material in it. 

When adding attachments, you need to add a link and give the attachment a name. (Note: Names do not have to be one word.)

• Attaching an Attachment

!attach <id> <url> <name>

Example: !attach 1 <https://i.imgur.com/123456.png> image of mentions bug

• Detaching an Attachment

An attachment can also be removed with the !detach command.

!detach <id> <name>
