For my app I need to be able to create already merged pull requests through BitBucket API.
According to their documentation, all I need to specify is the state parameter as MERGED, however this doesn't seem to work.
When sending a request to that endpoint, with a body like this:
{
"title": "Merged pull request",
"source":{
"branch":{
"name": "branchname"
}
},
"state": "MERGED"
}
the API ends up creating a branch with an OPEN state. I've also tried specifying a merge_commit as hinted here in some older documentation, however it ended in the same way.
Another option that I tried was creating an open pull request and then updating its state to MERGED both with and without specifying a merge_commit, however it didn't do anything, the API replied with a pull request with no changes.
Searching for this or related issues on the internet brought nothing but some duplicate documentation and parts of source code (defining the structure of a pull request) of tools that interact with BitBucket API, and lastly this which ended up not being the question nor the answer that I was looking for.
Is there some correct way to create an already merged pull request with BitBucket API?
