Try to isolate the problem. If possible, replicate the issue in a CodePen, jsbin, etc. The act of doing this can sometimes help you find a solution.
Search Github issues. This is actually my first stop instead of stack-overflow.
Read the source code, look at code comments, sometimes there are examples in the repo and maybe there is a wiki.
Google for blog posts, examples, tutorials. Be specific in your search. Pick the appropriate part of the stack trace instead of searching for the whole thing.
Explain the problem to a co-worker. So often I will answer my own question just by saying the problem out loud. Try pairing on it.
File a github issue and attach the example replicating the problem. Consider re-evaluating your mental model. When I'm new to something I find that this is often a challenge. I'm asking the wrong question or things aren't quite what I expect them to be.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
