Previously, Renovate would attempt to keep a branch up to date even if users had edited it. e.g. adding commits on top of the existing branch if newer versions were released. Now, Renovate adds a warning comment if a user has edited a branch, making it clear that responsibility for the branch is over to them and how they can undo this.
Closes#653
When 404 or 422 errors are encountered writing updates, Renovate will now restart in an attempt to fix it. Usually this is because branches/PRs have been edited or closed while Renovate is running.
Closes#1299
This feature enables signing of git commits on GitHub. To achieve this, Renovate must be configured with a gitPrivateKey in format supported by openpgp. There must also be a gitAuthor configured to enable this feature.
Closes#897
This PR adds the capability to specify a custom author for git commits on GitHub. Setting this field will mean GitHub uses this value for author and commit instead of the token’s identity. For instance if you are running hosted mode you may set the gitAuthor to “Renovate Bot <bot@renovate.com>” to have commits appear as coming from the renovate-bot account.
If we have in a package.json links to some local lib file:../path/to/folder
Then the local lib package.json will be copied to the tmp folder to be able to generate the right yarn lock file. This is not working with tgz files, only folder reference.
Closes#1215
Remove original getFile, getFileContent, and getFileJson and replace with getFile (which used to be getFileContent.. shortened now for convenience). Also remove unused getSubdirectories functions.
Renovate already detects PRs mistakenly closed during a certain time period when a bug was present. Now, it will rename those so that they are no longer detected and the ignore code does not have to remain indefinitely.
Previously, upgrades with failing lock files were not raised as PRs. Usually this is because of missing private module configuration. Now, Renovate will raise a PR but add a comment warning of the error, with the error log. It's raised as a comment because we now won't need to regenerate the lock file error every run, and we don't want to "lose" it if the PR description gets updated.
Closes#600
This feature adds a new behaviour to Renovate, where it will now add a comment to any existing closed PRs that are "blocking" currently valid updates. A new API function "ensureComment" has been added, its purpose is so we can ensure there exists only one comment with a certain subject/heading. This lets us prevent duplicates as well as update existing, without having to keep state about it. ensureComment needs porting to gitlab, but should be quite easy.
