Update Github reusable workflows with uncommon tag logic

What would you like help with?

I would like help with my configuration

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Github - using the github action renovatebot/github-action@23b01db

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Hello,

I have a Github repository named reusable-workflows where I keep a list of reusable workflows than can be used by other repositories.

- .github/workflows/deploy-app.yml
- .github/workflows/test-app.yml
- .github/workflows/delete-app.yml

I tag them like this:

deploy-app.yml/v1
deploy-app.yml/v2

test-app.yml/v1
test-app.yml/v2

delete-app/v1
delete-app/v2

Here is a repository using one of the above reusable workflow:

name: Deploy app
on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  deploy-snapshot:
    name: Deploy application on test env
    uses: company/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/[email protected]/v1
    with:
      java-version-file: .java-version

I would like Renovate to create a PR to bump the tag from deploy-app.yml/v1 to deploy-app.yml/v2

Here is the really simple Renovate config I used:

{
  "enabledManagers": [
    "github-actions"
  ]
}

In the logs, I can found

           {
             "deps": [
               {
                 "depName": "company/reusable-workflows",
                 "commitMessageTopic": "{{{depName}}} action",
                 "datasource": "github-tags",
                 "versioning": "docker",
                 "depType": "action",
                 "replaceString": "company/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/[email protected]/v1",
                 "autoReplaceStringTemplate": "{{depName}}/.github/workflows/deploy-app.yml@{{#if newDigest}}{{newDigest}}{{#if newValue}} # {{newValue}}{{/if}}{{/if}}{{#unless newDigest}}{{newValue}}{{/unless}}",
                 "currentValue": "deploy-app.yml/v1",
                 "updates": [],
                 "packageName": "company/reusable-workflows",
                 "warnings": [],
                 "skipReason": "invalid-value"
               }
             ],
             "packageFile": ".github/workflows/renovate-reusable-workflow.yml"
           },

I believe that I need to use this https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/versioning/regex/ like so

{
  "enabledManagers": [
    "github-actions"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["company/reusable-workflows"],
      "versioning": "regex:^(?<major>\\d+)(\\.(?<minor>\\d+))?(\\.(?<patch>\\d+))?(-(?<compatibility>.*))?$"
    }
  ]
}

but I have no idea what to put in the versioning field, can you please help me ?

Thanks !

Loose versioning may work fine here

still getting the same result :(

           {
             "deps": [
               {
                 "depName": "company/reusable-workflows",
                 "commitMessageTopic": "{{{depName}}} action",
                 "datasource": "github-tags",
                 "versioning": "loose",
                 "depType": "action",
                 "replaceString": "company/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/[email protected]/v1",
                 "autoReplaceStringTemplate": "{{depName}}/.github/workflows/deploy-app.yml@{{#if newDigest}}{{newDigest}}{{#if newValue}} # {{newValue}}{{/if}}{{/if}}{{#unless newDigest}}{{newValue}}{{/unless}}",
                 "currentValue": "deploy-app.yml/v1",
                 "updates": [],
                 "packageName": "company/reusable-workflows",
                 "warnings": [],
                 "skipReason": "invalid-value"
               }
             ],
             "packageFile": ".github/workflows/renovate-reusable-workflow.yml"
           },

{
  "enabledManagers": [
    "github-actions"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["company/reusable-workflows"],
      "versioning": "loose"
    }
  ]
}

Sorry, I was on mobile and missed that the tag included the deploy-app.yml/ part. I now take back my recommendation - keep it as it was with docker versioning and instead add versionCompatibility to separate out the deploy-app/ part (compatibility) from the version part. The docs for it should have sufficiently similar examples for you to follow

[julien-michaud]

you rock, thanks !

here is the config file if anyone is having the same issue

{
  "enabledManagers": [
    "github-actions"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["company/reusable-workflows"],
      "versionCompatibility": "^(?<compatibility>.*)/(?<version>.*)$"
    }
  ]
}
