Should we have something similar to the -bugreport switch of the .NET compiler ?
If no build is executed, it would just prompt the user for information regarding the problem. If a build is executed, it would log all build output to the specified file and then ask for additional information ... just like the MS .NET compilers do The user can then manually send the file to us or upload it somehow, that way he'll have absolute control over what information is sent to us.

What about a web page on nant.sf.net that accepts a post of the stack trace, environment variables, nant version, etc.? Then the logic of "what to do" could be scripted into the page and changed (in theory) quite easily. Prompting this way would be a little difficult but there could be releases of "debug" version (i.e. rc releases, similar to mozilla) and an option to toggle the functionality in production releases (defaults to off to respect any privacy issues). I am pretty excited about the concept, but unfortunately I don't think I have the time right now to help out with something like this (sorry). If it still around down the road though it sounds like it might be fun to set up.

Then we can always change the procedure without editing the source code. I'd also like to look into some kind of automated bug collection process. But that is much farther down the road. It would be something that a user could turn on that does what the windows error reporter does. It would be a setting which would cause the user to be prompted to send the bug report automatically to the sf.net site so we could get a full stack trace/error info and info about the running version and environment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clayton Harbour" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [snip] > > Also I was wondering what the consensus out there was about changing the > error message from: > Please send bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To something like: > Please submit a bug report to > http://sourceforge.net/projects/nant > Or > Please submit a bug report to > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=31650&atid=402868 > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
