Github PR linking can get confused

Description

As experienced with https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/pull/186 + https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7382 sometimes the GitHub PR linking gets confused as to the correct ticket to interact with.

It appears that it treated a Themes.trac link as a meta.trac link, and subsequently threw an unhandled exception.

The exception shouldn't have occurred, but it should've been handled gracefully as well.

Exception generated by the above PR:

E_ERROR: Uncaught Exception: JSON Error: 404 Ticket 158677 does not exist. in dotorg/trac/pr/class-trac.php:145

In 13081:

API: GitHub PRs: Tweak how the matching Trac ticket for a PR is found.

This should reduce some cases of the ticket being misidentified.

See #7388.

The exception shouldn't have occurred, but it should've been handled gracefully as well.

Upon looking closer... I think throwing it isn't the worst option here, as it ends up in our logging.

The exception shouldn't occur if the correct trac is located in the first place.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

After testing the above change with #7382 and re-deliveries of the webhooks, it looks like that worked.

I had to clear some incorrect data from the database, which shouldn't happen again.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
