Close issues / PRs immediately after adding the 'stale' label

Hi,

I agree with this feature.
Also, having the possibility to immediately close an issue/PR would be nice e.g. for read only repositories.

Hoping it will be implemented.

Hi @hross,

Actually if you set 0 for te days-before-close or days-before-stale, the issue state changes the next day and not immediately. 0 has the same effect as 1.

If you want this behavior I think you can do it now, you just need to execute the stale action when an issue label changes. You should be able to create an action like this that will trigger it immediately...

name: Trigger stale on issue label

on:
  issues:
    types: [labeled, unlabeled]
    
jobs:
  stale-label:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/stale@v2
        with:
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          stale-issue-message: 'Message to comment on stale issues. If none provided, will not mark issues stale'
          stale-pr-message: 'Message to comment on stale PRs. If none provided, will not mark PRs stale'
          days-before-stale: 2
          days-before-close: 0
