✨ add support for autoclosing issues when finishing a hotfix by Claude · Pull Request #241 · candoumbe/Pipelines

Claude · 2026-03-31T19:22:59Z

Hotfix workflows can now automatically close issues/work items via the --issues parameter. When finishing a hotfix, specified issues are closed using the appropriate API after the merge completes.

Changes

Extended IGitFlowWithPullRequest.FinishHotfix() (GitHub): Overrides base implementation to close issues via GitHub API after hotfix merge
Extended IGitFlowWithPullRequest.FinishHotfix() (Azure DevOps): Overrides base implementation to close work items via Azure DevOps Work Item Tracking API after hotfix merge
Reuses existing Issues parameter: Leverages IPullRequest.Issues property (already available in both interfaces) - no new parameters required
Updated CHANGELOG.md: Documented feature addition for both platforms

Usage

./build.sh hotfix --issues 123,456,789

When on a hotfix branch, this will:

Execute standard GitFlow hotfix completion (merge to main/develop, tag, push)
Close issues/work items chore(deps): update dependency microsoft.sourcelink.github to v8 #123, #456, #789 via the appropriate API if token is available:
- GitHub repositories: Uses GitHub API to close issues
- Azure DevOps repositories: Uses Work Item Tracking API to close work items

The implementation follows the same pattern as FinishFeature() for consistency with existing PR-based workflows on both platforms.

@claude[agent]
add the same support for closing issues on AzureDevOps

Added Azure DevOps support in commit 441a710. The implementation uses the Work Item Tracking API to close work items when finishing a hotfix with the --issues parameter.

+            string gitRepositoryHttpsUrl = GitRepository.HttpsUrl!;
+            Match match = AzureDevOpsRegex.Match(gitRepositoryHttpsUrl!);
+
+            if (match.Success)
+            {


FinishHotfix() silently skips closing work items when the Azure DevOps repository URL doesn't match AzureDevOpsRegex. FinishFeature() logs an error in the equivalent situation; doing the same here would make failures diagnosable (e.g., log Error(...) in an else branch when match.Success is false).

+        if (Issues.AtLeastOnce() && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(AccessToken))
+        {
+            string gitRepositoryHttpsUrl = GitRepository.HttpsUrl!;
+            Match match = AzureDevOpsRegex.Match(gitRepositoryHttpsUrl!);
+
+            if (match.Success)
+            {
+                const string repositoryBaseUrl = "https://dev.azure.com";
+                string organization = match.Groups["organisation"].Value;
+                string organizationUrl = $"{repositoryBaseUrl}/{organization}";
+
+                VssConnection vssConnection = new(new Uri(organizationUrl), new VssBasicCredential(string.Empty, AccessToken));
+                WorkItemTrackingHttpClient workItemClient = await vssConnection.GetClientAsync<WorkItemTrackingHttpClient>();


This hotfix implementation checks AccessToken but never prompts the user for a token when SkipConfirmation is false (unlike FinishFeature() which falls back to PromptForInput). This makes --issues ... appear to do nothing in interactive runs unless the token is already configured; consider reusing the same token-acquisition pattern as FinishFeature() for consistency.

+                VssConnection vssConnection = new(new Uri(organizationUrl), new VssBasicCredential(string.Empty, AccessToken));

+
+                foreach (uint workItemId in Issues)


Consider de-duplicating Issues before iterating (e.g., Issues.Distinct()), otherwise passing duplicated IDs (or default config duplication) will trigger repeated API calls and log spam.

Suggested change

foreach (uint workItemId in Issues)

foreach (uint workItemId in Issues.Distinct())
