Stale bot not closing issues

[deepwell]

On April 10th, 2019 I setup stale bot to mark issues as stale, and then auto close them. It's been almost 2 weeks and there has been no change on the tickets (some which are 2 years old that I expected to be marked as stale). Can you take a look and let me know if something is not configured correctly? Thanks.

Issues: https://github.com/deepwell/issues-v2/issues

.github/stale.yml looks like this:

# Number of days of inactivity before an issue becomes stale
daysUntilStale: 365
# Number of days of inactivity before a stale issue is closed
daysUntilClose: 14
# Issues with these labels will never be considered stale
exemptLabels:
  - security
  - type: data integrity
# Limit to only issues or pulls
only: issues
# Label to use when marking an issue as stale
staleLabel: wontfix
# Comment to post when marking an issue as stale. Set to `false` to disable
markComment: >
  This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had
  activity in the last year. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you
  for your contributions.
# Comment to post when closing a stale issue. Set to `false` to disable
closeComment: true

I am having the same issue...

@deepwell I think your problem here is due to an invalid yaml file (I had the same problem).

Change the exempt label type: data integrity to be in quotes, then I believe it should work for you. (ie - "type: data integrity")

EDIT: Could also be a problem with the last line closeComment: true, from my understanding, this is meant to be either a message that will be commented on the issue when it gets closed, or false. So it may be that true isn't a valid value in this case.

Thanks @AdmiringWorm, it was both adding the quotes to the exemptLabels, and removing the closeComment: true portion that fixed it for me.

So you need to close your issue if it's fixed.
