Labels are not being applied from config JSON

[abhi-markan]

TL;DR

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/release-please/main/schemas/config.json",
    "packages": {
        ".": {}
    },
    "pull-request-title-pattern": "chore(${scope}): release${component} ${version}",
    "extra-label": "Type: chore, Type: Docs",
    "extra-files": [
        "CHANGELOG.md"
    ]
}

Above release-please-config.json does not allow inclusion or addition of custom labels specified.

Expected behavior

Expect the PR to have additional labels specified in the default config file.

Observed behavior

Custom user labels are not added to the label, rather standard autopending label is attached to the PR.

@abhi-markan Have you tried to Type: chore,Type: Docs ? Seems whitespace after comma will break fetching/creating of label, whereas implementations is simply using split(',') in here.

Following extra-label schema, I have same requirement as you, and it worked with the following release-please-config.json:

{
  "packages": {
    ".": {
      "release-type": "python"
    }
  },
  "draft-pull-request": true,
  "extra-label": "release,docs"
}
