Updated dependency

sorbet, sorbet-runtime, sorbet-static, sorbet-static-and-runtime

What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Whenever Sorbet has a version update, Dependabot opens 3 PR's that update the same dependencies. We merge one, and then Dependabot rebases and closes the duplicates.

@abdulapopoola Have you had a chance to check this out yet?

@deivid-rodriguez This seems to be from https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/7558. One effect I see from the logs is I think it is confusing requirements_to_unlock: :own to now act the same as requirements_to_unlock: :all. Given this comment:

https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/86ab940b72ad9253610e70af76a4834559b17567/bundler/helpers/v2/lib/functions/version_resolver.rb#L96-L104

I assume Dependabot is not expecting that to happen. The top-level dependencies are being unlocked here via unlocking the shared subdependencies.

(I realise you're not part of the Dependabot team anymore - just was asking your insight if you feel this is a Bundler-side issue given downgrading Bundler in the Dockerfile to 2.5.9 seems to make things work again. Apologies if not.)

Interesting, when I looked into this, Dependabot seemed to have some logic in place to avoid duplicate PRs, I remember some kind of error saying "There's an open PR updating the same dependency" or something like that, making it skip extra PRs. But maybe I did not try this correctly.

I'm happy to allocate some time to try figure out if this is something that should be improved in Bundler or Dependabot. I suspect we need to adapt something in Dependabot to avoid these duplicated PRs.

Regarding the code snippet that you shared, I think Bundler's conservative option actually no longer works like the comment expects 😬. See this issue. In any case, I believe the new logic added in https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/7558 to exceptionally unlock other top level dependencies if really necessary is independent from the conservative flag.

I'm not an expert of the code so I don't know necessarily how it's supposed to work, but how it seems to currently work is linked to the requirements_to_unlock. If it reaches :all then it will deduplicate things correctly (for top-level dependencies anyway - I don't think it handles dependency-type: indirect very well so there's always been some duplication for those), but it will assume other top-level dependencies are unchanged under :own. Here's two logs before and after the Bundler bump:

(Note the "requirements to unlock" difference)

:own seems to use VersionResolver and :all seems to use ForceUpdater?

Yeah, I agree with this assessment.
