@gentlementlegen What is the difference between connected
and cross-referenced
issue events?
When PR body is updated with Resolves #1
then the connected
issue event is created. When issue is mentioned in the issue or PR comments then cross-referenced
event is created. Correct?
If so then why do we need to track cross-referenced
issue type here? Can't we simply check only for the connected
type?
@rndquu From my understanding, connected
events can only be created through the Github UI (this website) when you click on the gear next to Development
and manually add a pull-request. cross-referenced
happens either when you write Resolves #1
in the body of the PR, or when you write a comment saying See also #1
, if I remember correctly.
However, according to the docs, connected
event should be the one defining that a pull-request is supposed to close the linked issue, so theoretically you are right: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/issue-event-types?apiVersion=2022-11-28#connected
To be double checked but I don't think that's what actually happens.
Resolves #6
