[pypy-dev] [newb] fixing a nightly test case failure

[Vaibhav Sood]

Hi,

I am a newbie to pypy and looking to start making some contributions to the project. I was looking at the buildbot test case failures (after referring to an earlier thread on this forum: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2015-July/013751.html ) for the py3.3 branch and to start off picked a test failure to work on: http://buildbot.pypy.org/summary/longrepr?testname=AppTestFunction.%28%29.test_call_error_message&builder=own-linux-x86-64&build=3996&mod=interpreter.test.test_function
I was looking for some guidance as to the steps to make a code change contribution. I checked the bug tracking list but didn't find this test failure listed, would the typical steps be to create a issue in bug tracking system first, work on the change and then submit the patch for commit? My concern is I want to verify I can work on this failure and that I am not duplicating or doing unnecessary work

Thanks,
Vaibhav
