badge issues after switch from dependabot-preview to GitHub's dependabot

[piramiday]

I had set up a badge while using dependabot-preview, like so:

Originally posted by @greysteil in https://github.com/dependabot/feedback/issues/6#issuecomment-503994253 So would be https://api.dependabot.com/badges/status?host=github&repo=yss14/musicshare. For private repos you have to add &identifer=<the github repo's ID> onto that.

after I migrated my settings to GitHub, my badge is now showing a gray inactive, rather than a green enabled.

is this supposed to happen? should I have updated the code for the badge, post-inclusion in GitHub? if so, how?

I've also manually reverted a Python package in my private repository to test the new dependabot bot.

the PR opened a while back by dependabot-preview had a nice-looking compatibility badge (e.g. for pytest 5.4.2 > 5.4.3):

whereas the PR opened just now by dependabot shows this, instead:

I'm not sure this quirkyness is due to the same issue, but any help is appreciated. thanks

@piramiday thanks for reporting this. We're aware of the broken status badge and thinking of ways to bring it back.

whereas the PR opened just now by dependabot shows this, instead: Is that for the same version update pytest 5.4.2 > 5.4.3? Do you any public PRs to share?

I hope I didn't create a duplicate issue, if that's the case feel free to close this one and refer me to the original one. I turned out empty handed in my original search.

Is that for the same version update pytest 5.4.2 > 5.4.3? Do you any public PRs to share?

yes, exactly the same version update -- I simply reverted the original PR pushed a couple of weeks back to wait and see what the new dependabot did.

no, sorry, that's a private repo. I do confirm that the compatibility badge is the major difference with the new PR text, the rest is a couple of new commands and some added text. diff:

@feelepxyz @piramiday This issue (#1960) is a duplicate of #1912, I'll leave it to the maintainers to decide on how/if to resolve the duplication.

Maybe this could be finally addressed using a custom workflow (see task #4680)?
