Gitlab is not closing issues I reference through a commit

Gitlab doesn't close issues I created and then closed in a commit.

I'm using GitLab 7.2.1 ff1633f and the following commits have been tried:

  • Closes (#1)
  • Closes[#1]
  • Closes #1
  • Fixes[#1]
  • Fixes (#1)
  • Fixes #1
  • Fixes issue #1

I have no clue where the error might be, for asfar as I can see, there are no errors, commits just neatly get into Gitlab, it all works, I even can click the issue number in commits, but it just doesn't close them.

What is the problem here?

Solution

  • It is likely a bug, possible duplicate of: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8063 Now nuked by GitLab with all other GitHub issues, and has no Wayback Machine archive either. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/394 seems related.

    I recommend always looking there first for things that look like bugs.
