## Bug Reports
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Report any bugs in our [GithHub issue tracker](https://github.com/carissalow/rapids/issues) keeping in mind to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Debug and simplify the problem to create a minimal example. For example, reduce the problem to a single participant, sensor, and a few rows of data.
|
||
|
|
- Provide a clear and succinct description of the problem (expected behavior vs. actual behavior).
|
||
|
|
- Attach your `config.yaml`, time segments file, and time zones file if appropriate.
|
||
|
|
- Attach test data if possible and any screenshots or extra resources that will help us debug the problem.
|
||
|
|
- Share the commit you are running: `git rev-parse --short HEAD`
|
||
|
|
- Share your OS version (e.g., Windows 10)
|
||
|
|
- Share the device/sensor you are processing (e.g., phone accelerometer)
|
||

|
|
If you want to fix a typo or any other minor changes, you can edit the file online by clicking on the pencil icon at the top right of any page and opening a pull request using [Github's website](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/editing-files-in-your-repository)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your changes are more complex, clone RAPIDS' repository, setup the dev environment for our documentation with this [tutorial](../developers/documentation), and submit any changes on a new *feature branch* following our [git flow](../developers/git-flow).

## Code Contributions
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
!!! hint "Hints for any code changes"
|
||
|
|
- To submit any new code, use a new *feature branch* following our [git flow](../developers/git-flow).
|
||
|
|
- If you neeed a new Python or R package in RAPIDS' virtual environments, follow this [tutorial](../developers/virtual-environments/)
|
||
|
|
- If you need to change the `config.yaml` you will need to update its validation schema with this [tutorial](../developers/validation-schema-config/)

### New Data Streams
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*New data containers.* If you want to process data from a device RAPIDS supports ([see this table](../datastreams/data-streams-introduction/)) but it's stored in a database engine or file type we don't support yet, [implement a new data stream container and format](../datastreams/add-new-data-streams/). You can copy and paste the `format.yaml` of one of the other streams of the device you are targeting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*New sensing apps.* If you want to add support for new smartphone sensing apps like Beiwe, [implement a new data stream container and format](../datastreams/add-new-data-streams/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*New wearable devices.* If you want to add support for a new wearable, open a [Github discussion](https://github.com/carissalow/rapids/discussions), so we can add the necessary initial configuration files and code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New Behavioral Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to add new [behavioral features](../features/feature-introduction/) for mobile sensors RAPIDS already supports, follow this [tutorial](../features/add-new-features/). A sensor is supported if it has a configuration section in `config.yaml`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to add new [behavioral features](../features/feature-introduction/) for mobile sensors RAPIDS does not support yet, open a [Github discussion](https://github.com/carissalow/rapids/discussions), so we can add the necessary initial configuration files and code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New Tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to add new tests for existent behavioral features, follow this [tutorial](../developers/testing).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New Visualizations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open a [Github discussion](https://github.com/carissalow/rapids/discussions), so we can add the necessary initial configuration files and code.
