Renovate Not Detecting go.mod, go.sum

Have you checked the logs? Don't forget to include them if relevant

What would you like to do?

I would like Renovate to work with updates to Go packages. Currently I get PRs for terraform and GitHub actions, but none for Go, even though I have a go.mod and go.sum in a subdirectory in my repo.

{
  "extends": ["config:base", ":timezone(America/Chicago)", ":semanticCommits"],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "fix"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["minor"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "feat"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["major"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "feat!"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch", "minor"],
      "automerge": true
    },
    {
      "paths": ["test/**"],
      "semanticCommitType": "chore"
    }
  ],
  "assigneesFromCodeOwners": true,
  "rebaseWhen": "behind-base-branch",
  "separateMinorPatch": true,
  "prHourlyLimit": 2
}

Please check the debug logs from app dashboard.

It would also help, if you provide a minimal reproduction repo.

If you have any package files in test folders, it's ignored by this preset: https://docs.renovatebot.com/presets-default/#ignoremodulesandtests (which comes from config:base).

You can add this to config to disable that preset:

  "ignorePresets": [":ignoreModulesAndTests"]

[evanstoddard23]

@rarkins that worked, thank you! I'm having another issue with this config (lmk if I should open a separate GH issue). I'm expecting my terraform dependencies under my test directory to get updates using the chore type, but am instead getting feat. This quote from the docs is what has me confused:

Renovate will evaluate all packageRules and not stop once it gets a first match. Therefore, you should order your packageRules in order of importance so that later rules can override settings from earlier rules if necessary.

{
  "extends": ["config:base", ":timezone(America/Chicago)", ":semanticCommits"],
  "ignorePresets": [":ignoreModulesAndTests"],
  "postUpdateOptions": ["gomodTidy"],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "fix"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["minor", "major"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "feat"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch", "minor"],
      "automerge": true
    },
    {
      "paths": ["test/**"],
      "extends": [":semanticCommitTypeAll(chore)"]
    }
  ],
  "assigneesFromCodeOwners": true,
  "rebaseWhen": "behind-base-branch",
  "separateMinorPatch": true
}

Do not use semanticCommitTypeAll in a package rule, as nested packaged rules are not supported.

Simply use "​semanticCommitType​"​: ​"​chore"​ in your tests rule

[rarkins]

I created https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/issues/7649 to look into supporting that type of nested package rule + preset

Updated my config to this:

{
  "extends": ["config:base", ":timezone(America/Chicago)", ":semanticCommits"],
  "ignorePresets": [":ignoreModulesAndTests", ":prHourlyLimit2"],
  "postUpdateOptions": ["gomodTidy"],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "fix"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["minor", "major"],
      "managers": ["terraform"],
      "semanticCommitType": "feat"
    },
    {
      "paths": ["test/**"],
      "semanticCommitType": "chore"
    },
    {
      "updateTypes": ["patch", "minor"],
      "automerge": true
    },
    {
      "managers": ["github-actions", "gomod"],
      "schedule": ["before 9am on monday"]
    }
  ],
  "assigneesFromCodeOwners": true,
  "rebaseWhen": "behind-base-branch",
  "separateMinorPatch": true
}

But I'm still getting Terraform updates under the test directory with type feat. The file is at test/basic-run/deps/main.tf

[rarkins]

Maybe the paths glob is somehow not matching. Can you reproduce this with same config in a public repo?

[evanstoddard23]

@rarkins I replicated the issue here: https://github.com/evanstoddard23/renovate-test/pull/1

[rarkins]

@evanstoddard23 can you see if merging https://github.com/evanstoddard23/renovate-test/pull/2 makes a difference? There may be a specificity issue I hadn't expected.

[evanstoddard23]

@rarkins looks like that did the trick!

[rarkins]

Glad to hear it. Unfortunately seems to be a legacy specificity issue. We consider rules with updateTypes to be the most specific you can be and so they are given preference regardless of ordering. We're going to need to do a breaking change before too long to revert that concept and instead just operate based on order.
