Reporting bugs

If you have found a (possible) bug, please report it. You can either:

  1. email me directly () (to alert me)
  2. create an issue on GitHub (to remind me, once we have agreed it is a bug)

But please, always include a reproducible example containing an R script, and a snippet of your data (just enough to reproduce the issue). And make sure you are using the latest version of lavaan.

All verified bugs (and other reported issues) are listed in the version history.
