Issues & Help

We are lucky to have a vibrant MongoDB Go community that includes users with varying levels of experience using the Go driver. We find the quickest way to get support for general questions is through the MongoDB Community Forums.

To learn more, refer to our support channels.

If you think you've found a bug or want to see a new feature in the Go driver, please open a case in our issue management tool, JIRA:

  • Create an account and log in.

  • Navigate to the GODRIVER project.

  • Click Create Issue. Please provide as much information as possible about the issue and the steps to reproduce it.

Bug reports in JIRA for the Go driver and the Core Server (i.e. SERVER) project are public.

If you've identified a security vulnerability in a driver or any other MongoDB project, please report it according to the instructions found in the Create a Vulnerability Report page.

We are happy to accept contributions to help improve the driver. We will guide user contributions to ensure they meet the standards of the codebase. Please ensure that any pull requests include documentation, tests, and pass the gradle checks.

To get started, check out the source and work on a branch:

$ git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver.git
$ cd mongo-go-driver
$ git checkout -b myNewFeature

Finally, follow the Testing/Development guidelines to ensure your code passes any newly added and existing tests.
