Hello,

For some reason, the repo I’m maintaining will not automatically closes issues that were linked with a PR. I made sure that the PRs are properly merged into our default branch but it still doesn’t happen.

Here’s the issue in our repo. Here is its content:

Bug

Merging a linked PR into the master branch does not close its corresponding issue. See #592 and confirm the PR is merged into master using this url (just Ctrl + F and search for raspberry ). Also a few others like #582 and #543.

How to replicate the bug

Make an issue and make a PR. Link those together and merge the PR into master . The Issue will probably not close.

Possible Fixes/Solutions

Not sure. Here’s what we’ve tried:

• Linking the issue using the GitHub website
• Linking the issue by using keywords and mentioning the issue number in the comments (new icon: Qt (original) #691)
• Searching on GitHub Community (found no issues similar to this)

My next move will be making a thread about this on the Community website. Hopefully, we’ll get an answer there

Note:

• For our workflow, we merge our PRs into a develop branch using squash merge. After a while, we then merge it into the master branch using a normal merge commit.

• I’m not sure if it’s related. Some of the Issues (like this)will have icons that show the PR were merged:

Others (like this) don’t:

Both are issues that should have been closed automatically
