Reference issue from pull request

[svarlamov]

• Gitea version (or commit ref): 7ec6cdd

Description

When referencing an issue from a pull request description, ie., targeting #125 links properly, but when you're in the issue, there's no message saying that it was referenced in a pull request (such as Gitea does with commit messages or the way that Github does with pull request descriptions)

[svarlamov]

Also, referencing an issue, ie., see #125 from an issue, links, but when you're in the referenced issue, there's no message about the reference -- as you would have in Github for instance

[lafriks]

Can you create sample on try.gitea.io to demonstrate this problem

[svarlamov]

@lafriks - sure!

Issue to issue ref:

1: https://try.gitea.io/svarlamov/sample-issues-3134/issues/1
2: https://try.gitea.io/svarlamov/sample-issues-3134/issues/2

2 references 1, but there's nothing in 1 to show that (as there would be for a commit msg)

PR to issue ref:

PR(a): https://try.gitea.io/svarlamov/sample-issues-3134/pulls/3
ISSUE(b): https://try.gitea.io/svarlamov/sample-issues-3134/issues/1

PR(a) references ISSUE(b), however, there's nothing to indicate that in ISSUE(b) -- as there otherwise would be for a commit msg

I think @svarlamov means reference comments.

[funkyfuture]

i think he means an information like the fourth under this comment in a pull request here.

[funkyfuture]

and like the one below that. :-)

I've created #4302 to address the case of the issue backlinks. I'm pretty sure PR backlinks (this issue) could use the same table discussed in #4302, if that turns out to be the solution.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs during the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your contributions.

@lunny Perhaps the stale bot should be configured to ignore issues that are tracked in a milestone, or another tag could be created to exempt an issue from auto-closing.

It's not exactly ideal to keep bumping them manually.

[lafriks]

there is already label reviewed/confirmed that stalebot won't touch :)

+1 for linking back to the PR from the issue view.

But also, it'd be nice to be able to close issues from PR descriptions. I.e. if the reference is "closes #123" it would close issue number 123 once the PR is merged (same as from commits). I do this all the time on GitHub and kind of miss it on Gitea now.

This is pending. I'm interested in this feature, I might work on it next. Any caveats I should be aware of?

@skddc One thing at a time ;-) make a new issue on that one (It's probably somewhere already!) please

@guillep2k Thanks!
