Add dependabot to manage Github Actions update #1318

Closed woodsp-ibm closed 5 months ago

woodsp-ibm commented 5 months ago

Summary

Build have started emitting warnings:

Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/checkout@v3, actions/setup-python@v4, actions/cache@v3, actions/upload-artifact@v3. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

I recently fixed these manually in qiskit algorithms but then saw qiskit experiments setup dependabot to check and update the actions. Upon finding actions needing update it will create a PR for this. So this is a first step to setting that up and commits a config file for dependabot to use, once that's in place there are other settings to enable it etc that I will do so once this merged. It seems better to have this automated.

Details and comments

In doing this first on Qiskit Machine Learning it seems that dependabot will do a PR for each action it updates. This meant separate PRs for the change in version to the upload-artifact and download-artifact, This is seemed would cause a failure in each of the PRs that I surmise is due to the upload being done in one version and the download with another. The download would always fail saying file could not be found. In ML I fixed things by doing a manual PR that did both at the same time hence #1317.

I marked this OnHold since it would be better to merge this after #1317 is merged. And while I could have updated all the actions manually I figured not doing so would allow us to check dependabot is working ok for Nature here
