Hello @IrvingMg ,

just to keep you updated, I will need to test this in a forked repository, so it might take some time for the review.

Hello @IrvingMg ,

I played around a bit with this PR. Unfortunately, It seems we are still missing something and the issues do not close automatically. I have create anew repository to test these changes https://github.com/urunc-dev/urunc_test . The changes of this PR have have addedd the respective message

This PR was automatically created by GitHub Actions to merge changes from main-pr8 into main.
Closes https://github.com/urunc-dev/urunc_test/issues/1

in urunc-dev/urunc_test#9 but the issue is still open.

In the repository setting the "Auto-close issues with merged linked pull requests " is enabled.

Thanks for testing this, @cmainas!

Looking at this discussion (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/24869#discussioncomment-3245678), it seems the missing piece might be the permissions of urunc-bot. Since the bot is the one merging the PR, GitHub treats it as the user who should also close the issue.

However, from the output of gh api /apps/urunc-bot, it looks like the bot doesn’t have permission to manage issues:

"permissions": {
  "actions": "write",
  "administration": "write",
  "contents": "write",
  "metadata": "read",
  "pull_requests": "write",
  "workflows": "write"
}

So it probably can’t close the issue after merging, and adding issues: write permission to the bot should fix this.

I see. Let me retry it then and I will ocme back with the results.
