# Reporting bugs
When filing a bug in [the issue tracker](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/issues), it is very helpful to propose a pull request [in the end-to-end tests](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/src/branch/main/actions) repository that adds a reproducer. It will fail the CI and unambiguously demonstrate that the problem exists. In most cases it is enough to add a workflow ([see the echo example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/src/branch/main/actions/example-echo)). For more complicated cases it is also possible to add a runner config file as well as shell scripts to setup and teardown the test case ([see the service example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/src/branch/main/actions/example-service)).
