Hello. I have repository configuration:
"stopUpdatingLabel": "in-testing"

Despite this PR with the label gets auto-closed when new major version of the dependency is released.

Anything I can do to prevent that? Could I add config to override branch name for major versions or something?

The "stop updating label" was intended to stop there being further updates added to the PR or it being rebased. It wasn't intended as "don't autoclose", although potentially its meaning could be extended to that.

So was it a major upgrade you had "locked"? And then a newer major came out?

[jfoechsler]

Indeed it was.

I haven't tested it for a while but I think you might still end up with branches like -4.x, -5.x, etc - same problem. Feel free to submit a PR which checks for the stopUpdatingLabel before pruning a stale branch/PR

[jfoechsler]

Right. I can open issue if this is not intended behavior - FYI for our particular workflow this solution seems like good fit :

    {
      "matchPackageNames": [<packages to enable testing label>],
      "separateMajorMinor": false,
      "branchTopic": "{{{depNameSanitized}}}"
    }

You can create a "Suggest an idea" discussion and I'll convert to an Issue. But, it likely won't get done unless you submit the PR or someone else who has this problem does
