Getting help

If you have a question about CarrierWave, please search the Wiki and Google Group to see if your question has already been answered. If it has not been discussed previously, please post your question to the Google Group.

Please review the Known issues wiki page for common problems that you may encounter.

Before reporting an issue, please ensure you are using latest CarrierWave version. Check the History.txt file to see if your issue has already been solved but not yet released in the gem version. Search the existing GitHub Issues to make sure your issue hasn’t already been discussed. If you think you’ve found a security bug, do NOT use the GitHub Issue tracker. Please send a private GitHub message to “jnicklas” instead.

When reporting an issue, please include the version information for all software involved. This would include the version of Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, etc that you are using. Include the error class, error message and backtrace if you are getting an error. Please provide this information in a Gist on GitHub instead of within the issue itself. Simply pasting in a heap of code into an issue is generally not helpful because it can be very difficult to read. It can also be extremely helpful if you try to isolate the bug in a small application and push it to github. You can use the small Sinatra application here as a base.

Please remember that this is an open-source project, and the contributions of volunteers have made it possible. Please be polite when asking for help, and provide as much information as possible so that others can help you more easily.

If you’re experienced with Ruby, please try to reproduce the bug in the test suite. If you think you can fix the issue, pull requests with tests are always welcome. Again, remember that this is an open-source project, and the contributions of volunteers have made it possible. Please consider becoming a contributor!
