BugBot comments are hidden but not resolved when outdated

BugBot

Describe the Bug

BugBot hides outdated comments but does not resolve them. My repo requires all PR review comments to be resolved prior to merging and with PRs that might have a long commit/message history it becomes hard/tedious to spot these hidden comments. I found this thread and this thread that bring up the same issue basically.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. open a new PR and run bugbot bugbot run
  2. change a line on one of the bugs found by bugbot
  3. the PR is now labeled as outdated by GitHub
  4. rerun bugbot run
  5. the outdated PR is now hidden behind a message This comment was marked as outdated but it is not resolved (image below)

Expected Behavior

There is no specific expected behavior. I think leaving the comments unhidden makes the most sense, especially since GitHub already labels them as Outdated anyway. However, an alternative would be for the comments to get resolved instead of hidden.

BugBot

Describe the Bug

a lot of times bugbot detects a bug and comments on it. we push a fix, but then bugbot never marks the comments as stale or resolved. i even tried explicitly asking it to @cursor review again and it did review and left a separate msg on the PR saying it found no bugs, but the original comment with the issue was left untouched…

Steps to Reproduce

create pr with bug.
wait for bugbot to comment.
push fix.

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue that affects workflows where all PR comments must be resolved before merging.

I’ll pass this to the engineering team. As a temporary workaround, you need to manually close BugBot’s hidden outdated comments before merging.
