Gitlab CE edition does not automatically close Jira issues

Hello,

So I'm not sure if that's a bug in the documentation or a bug in the feature, but I cant get gitlab CE to transition my jira issues. I asked my sysadmin to have a look at the logs both on jira & gitlab side and we do see the comments being posted, but never see the call to transition issue.

Though, gitlab CE doc says it should work: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/project_services/jira.html

STR:

• Have gitlab CE
• Have a self hosted jira
• Configure jira integration in a gitlab repo
• git commit -m "Resolves PROJECT-1234"
• Observe a comment was added to the ticket but its status is still open

Thanks
