Discovery: Renovate config options and consistency

[feanil]

What are the different options for renovate config? Can we standardize?

We use Renovate to manage JS upgrade in various repositories. It should be standard across all JS repos but we don't know that it is.

Questions to answer

• How many repos have a package.json file?
• How many repos have renovate config?
• How many different variations on renovate config is there?
• Can you recommend any changes to the default renovate config?

Expected Output

• Comments on this ticket that answer the above questions and any other things you learn along the way.
• Recommendation on whether or not it makes sense to standardise the renovate config.
• Discussion based on learnings.
  • This might result in the creation of tickets to go through the standardization.

I found a ticket to create a common renovate config that automates @edx namespaced minor/patch version upgrades, which means there is already progress to make the renovate config standardized for all repos.

There is also a sheet having information about all repos which are updated the renovate for @opendx packages

I found three repositories having package.json file

This doesn't seem right, there should be one in each MFE at least along with many of the libraries and older backends.

[salman2013]

@feanil I have updated the correct count and repo names which have package.json file in them.

[feanil]

@salman2013 do all of those repos have a renovate config?

[salman2013]

@feanil I updated the list of all repos which has both package.json and renovate.json files.

The following repos have both package.json file and renovate.json file

https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-publisher https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-admin-portal https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-profile https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-ecommerce https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-account https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-payment https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learning https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learner-portal-enterprise https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-course-authoring https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-library-authoring https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-enterprise-public-catalog https://github.com/openedx/paragon https://github.com/openedx/frontend-platform https://github.com/openedx/frontend-build https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-header https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-cookie-policy-banner https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-footer https://github.com/openedx/frontend-template-application

[feanil]

@salman2013 let's make a ticket to ensure that the rest of the repos have a renovate.json config

[sarina]

Can this ticket be closed?
