I am using the Mend-hosted GitHub Renovate App and I push these two files to the remote repository on GitHub for renovate to parse through the package.json. I want Renovate to ignore all chalk versions, that end with "java", and not create a PR.
There is an exact example of it in the docs here, that is apparently supposed to work, but it isn't for me and I am getting a PR with the name "Update dependency chalk to v5" and change 2.5.0-java -> 5.3.0.
What is the reason?
package.json:
{
"devDependencies": {
"chalk": "2.5.0-java"
}
}
renovate.json:
{
"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
"extends": [
"config:recommended"
],
"packageRules": [
{
"matchPackageNames": ["chalk"],
"allowedVersions": "!/java$/"
}
]
}
As @Gaël J suggested, the more appropriate option is to use matchCurrentVersion
.
renovate.json:
{
"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
"extends": [
"config:recommended"
],
"packageRules": [
{
"matchPackageNames": ["chalk"],
"matchCurrentVersion": "/java$/"
"enabled": false
}
]
}
This now disables the check and subsequently disables the generation of the PR. Logs:
"deps": [
{
"depType": "devDependencies",
"depName": "chalk",
"currentValue": "2.5.2-java",
"datasource": "npm",
"prettyDepType": "devDependency",
"updates": [],
"packageName": "chalk",
"skipReason": "disabled"
}
],
