Different Scheduling Rules

[luxcem]

Which Renovate are you using?

WhiteSource Renovate App

Which platform are you using?

GitHub.com

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

Yes,

I think what's blocking is this line for every PR:

DEBUG: Branch renovate/xxxxx is blocked by a Pin PR

I close the first Renovate PR and pushed the renovate.json file myself with the following config but Renovate is stalled.

What would you like to do?

I'm trying to set up different scheduling rules depending on updates:

• minor, patch, pin, digest on devDependencies should execute asap.
• other updates should execute once a week.

My config looks like this:

{
  "extends": ["config:base"],
  "labels": ["renovate"],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "depTypeList": ["devDependencies"],
      "updateTypes": ["minor", "patch", "pin", "digest"],
      "automerge": true
    },
    {
      "packagePatterns": ["eslint"],
      "groupName": "eslint"
    },
    {
      "depTypeList": ["devDependencies"],
      "updateTypes": ["major"],
      "schedule": ["before 2am on monday"]
    },
    {
      "depTypeList": ["dependencies"],
      "schedule": ["before 2am on monday"]
    }
  ]
}

There is no PR for minor / patch devDependencies and I think it is because of scheduling rules.

as you can see from the logs, you need to merge the pin pr or disable dependency pinning

I don't have a pin PR I think that's the issue.

[rarkins]

What's the list of branches you have?

[luxcem]

Nothing under renovate/*

[viceice]

@luxcem can you please rename the closed renovate pr, eg append - wrong or anything else @rarkins maybe blocked because of the closed pr?

[luxcem]

I'll try, if that doesn't work should I remove the renovate.json file to restart the bot?

[rarkins]

I'm interested to know first what the logs say about the branch renovate/pin-dependencies

[luxcem]

I found

You should add a updates type filter to your schedule rules, so they only apply to major, minor and patch updates. So the pin deps pr can open.

You can also disable pinning if you develop a library.

Ok I manually pin the dependencies and it seems to work now.
