Github integration does not use environment mapping for deployments

Nikolas Höft

Hello!

I am trying to map Github environment naming patterns to Jira environment types. The environments have a naming pattern like 'deploy_<scope>', e.g. 'deploy_staging' or 'deploy_master'. I would like to make sure that the environment 'deploy_master' it is recognized as a production environment.

I followed the steps outline in the docs (here) and created the file .jira/config.yml with the following contents:

deployments:
  environmentMapping:
    development:
      - "*_dev"
    testing:
      - "*_test"
    staging:
      - "*_staging"
    production:
      - "*_master"

However, the mapping seems to get ignored, e.g. deployments in 'deploy_master' still show up as unmapped in Jira.

Is there anything else I need to do for the mapping to be applied?

I had the same issue. It was because in my Github Actions, in the deploy job I did not specify the environment, ex:

`jobs.<job_id>.environment` is required in order for Jira to recognize the env if it's not a standard branch name.
