Previously, if someone updated a package.json to include invalid JSON, Renovate fails to parse it (as expected), so ignores it. As a result, any existing PRs would be autoclosed. Instead, Renovate will now skip the repository and raise a warning issue until the file parsing is complete or the file is added to Renovate’s ignore list.
This PR updates Renovate to detect config validation problems and (1) stop processing, and (2) either raise an Issue if already onboarded, or (2) update the onboarding PR to reflect the error if still onboarding.
Closes#1300
This reverts commit 4f65356ba4.
I will attempt to merge npmrc configs a different way, as npm itself does not support merging cascaded configs (it finds the most specific one and just uses it).
Rename writeToken to forkToken to make it clearer. This enables GitHub API to use one token for all reads, and another token just for writing to the forked repository.
This PR adds the capability to run Renovate in a new "fork mode". This new mode must be configured by the Renovate admin, and cannot be configured within repositories themselves (for now). Example use: `renovate --autodiscover --fork-mode`
In this mode:
* Renovate will fork the repository if necessary (first run only)
* If the fork already existed, Renovate will ensure that its base branch is up to date with the source repository's
* Branches will be created within the fork, PRs will be created in the source
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.
