GitLab CI

Set a secret variable in your GitLab project with your private token. Name it GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN (CI/CD > Environment Variables). This is necessary to close the issue on your behalf. More information click here. This access token is passed to the script with the --private-token argument. An example CI using this can be found here, look for the close:issue job.

Add the following to your .gitlab-ci.yml file:

stages:
  - post

close:issue:
  image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-automation-toolkit/gitlab-auto-close-issue
  stage: post
  before_script: []
  script:
    - gitlab_auto_close_issue --issue 1 --remove-label "Doing" --remove-label "To Do"
Predefined Variables

Please note some of the arguments can be filled in using environment variables defined during GitLab CI. For more information click here <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html>_.

  • If --private-token is not set the script will look for the ENV variable GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN
