linkDetect only applies the first rule

This issue has been tracked since 2022-09-16.

Hi,

When i set up multiple linkDetect rules, only the first one works. In the example below, only the first rule creates links. If I comment out the first rule, then the second works fine.

Using v0.108

silences:
  comments:
    linkDetect:
      rules:
        - regex: "#([0-9]{2,5})"
          uriTemplate: https://gitlab.example.com/issues/$1
        - regex: "#([0-9]{6,})"
          uriTemplate: https://helpdesk.example.com/ticket.html?id=$1

Those rules are used to turn part of a comment into a clickable link if it matches given pattern.
What would you expect to happen with multiple matches? You can't really have a link that points to multiple URLs.

Yep I'm trying to create links to different ticket/issue tracking systems depending on the format.

For example:

#1234 would match the first rule and create a link to gitlab.
#123456 would match the second rule and create a link to helpdesk.

I would expect the regex for each rule in the list to checked in order, and then create the link and stop progressing through the list on first match.

Isn't #([0-9]{2,5}) going to match both #1234 and #123456?
It's matching part of a string but still, it's a match.
Try reordering your rules.
