I want to auto-merge Dependabot PR once all checks(or workflows) on Dependabot PR have been passed.
Currently, I am using this logic to trigger auto-merge action:
on:
workflow_run:
workflows: ["Lint and Unit tests"]
types:
- completed
Once all checks are passed on the Dependabot PR it triggers the auto-merge workflow but the issue is that it does not work due to a lack of pull_request
payload in the workflow.
Following workflow does it for us:
name: Dependabot auto-merge
on:
pull_request_target:
types: [review_requested]
permissions:
contents: write
pull-requests: write
packages: read
jobs:
dependabot:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
if: ${{ github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]' }}
steps:
- name: Dependabot metadata
id: metadata
uses: dependabot/fetch-metadata@v1.3.4
with:
github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
skip-commit-verification: true
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Approve a PR if not already approved
run: |
gh pr checkout "$PR_URL"
if [ "$(gh pr status --json reviewDecision -q .currentBranch.reviewDecision)" != "APPROVED" ];
then
gh pr review --approve "$PR_URL"
else
echo "PR already approved.";
fi
env:
PR_URL: ${{github.event.pull_request.html_url}}
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
- name: Enable auto-merge for Dependabot PRs
if: ${{ contains(github.event.pull_request.title, 'bump')}}
run: gh pr merge --auto --merge "$PR_URL"
env:
PR_URL: ${{github.event.pull_request.html_url}}
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.RELEASE_TOKEN}}
Where RELEASE_TOKEN has extended scopes (workflow, write:packages, admin:org), branch protection is activated (review is required), dependabot is configured to have 'reviewers:' set, auto merge is enabled at org and repo level.
