Push rule not working

Summary

We are trying to use a push rule that matches the use of an issue number in the commit message, like #123. So we would like to match:

• It should begin with # or if it does not begin with # it should at least contain a whitespace character before the #
• Directly after the # there should be one or more digits
• It should or end with the digit or have one or more whitespace if there is more text We tried to use the following regex in the push rule on GitLab.com: /(^|\s+)\#(\d+$|\d+\s+)/, but all pushes are rejected. We tested with the following commit messages #1 or test #1 or #1 test or test #1 test. None succeeded

What is the current bug behavior?

Push get's rejected

What is the expected correct behavior?

Push should succeed

Output of checks
