Triggering Renovate Reconfiguration

Hi there,

I’m trying to setup Renovate for Nix on crowci/crowci-flake. According to the Renovate docs, I should be able to create a PR from a branch called renovate/reconfigure, and this should trigger a comment from renovate on the viability of the change? According to Renovate | CodeFloe the bot should run once an hour at 30 minutes past the hour. However even though I received the initial PR from renovate to setup the repo, I don’t seem to be getting subsequent updates from it. Is this because the repo was transferred from my user (johnhamelink) to the crowci org?

Thanks, JH

Right! However it didn’t for a few days after we integrated the upstream changes from the operator we’re running. This brought back a filter on the repo topic renovate and therefore excluded most repos.

Discovery is now restored and your repo has been processed again!

We’ll also post a bit more information about the updated setup soon so everyone’s is informed!

Thank you! As a new user to renovate I wasn’t sure if the issue was between the keyboard and the chair :smiley: Appreciate it :slight_smile:

Hey there - one more (potential) issue. Renovate is now commenting on PRs, but after merging, and checking the checkbox in the dependency dashboard to trigger an update, a branch was created, but no corresponding PR. Does this stem from a permissions issue perhaps?

Thanks again!

EDIT: I merged that branch and then asked renovate to update again and this time I got a PR.

There’s nothing influenced from our side what and how renovate does in detail when it runs. We’re only responsibly for the schedule of the runs and the webhook behaviour (more info about that soon).
