Colin's Bug Report Builder

Create GitHub-ready bug reports from your current VS Code session. It collects the project context people usually forget: active file, language, Git branch, workspace diagnostics, active-file diagnostics, VS Code version, OS info, and optional selected code.

Features

• Prompt for title, observed behavior, expected behavior, and reproduction steps.
• Include active file metadata, selected line range, Git branch, workspace diagnostics, VS Code version, OS, and extension version.
• Add active-file diagnostics with severity, location, source, code, and message.
• Optionally include selected code and installed extension IDs.
• Open an unsaved Markdown draft, copy Markdown, save BUG_REPORT.md, or save and open it.

Usage

Run Colin's Bug Report Builder: Create Bug Report from the Command Palette. You can also right-click inside an editor and choose Create Bug Report.

The generated report is Markdown that is ready to paste into a GitHub issue.

Privacy

Bug Report Builder does not send telemetry and does not upload your code. Selected code and installed extension IDs are included only when you choose to include them.

Local Development

npm install
npm run build
npx @vscode/vsce package --allow-missing-repository

Open this folder in VS Code and run Run > Start Debugging to test the extension in an Extension Development Host.
