Function ResolveIssueRef

pkg/cmd/issue/shared/lookup.go:215–230

ResolveIssueRef parses an issue reference (number or URL) and returns its node ID. References that point at a different host than baseRepo are rejected because relationship mutations require IDs from the base host.

(client *api.Client, baseRepo ghrepo.Interface, ref string)

// node ID. References that point at a different host than baseRepo are
// rejected because relationship mutations require IDs from the base host.
func ResolveIssueRef(client *api.Client, baseRepo ghrepo.Interface, ref string) (string, error) {
	number, repo, err := ParseIssueFromArg(ref)
	if err != nil {
		return "", err
	}

	targetRepo := baseRepo
	if r, ok := repo.Value(); ok {
		if r.RepoHost() != baseRepo.RepoHost() {
			return "", fmt.Errorf("issue reference %q belongs to a different host (%s) than the current repository (%s)", ref, r.RepoHost(), baseRepo.RepoHost())
		}
		targetRepo = r
	}

	return api.IssueNodeID(client, targetRepo, number)
}

// ResolveIssueTypeName resolves an issue type name to its node ID by
// fetching the repository's available types.
