Hi,

We are hosting our private packages on GCP Artifact Registry and sources on private GitHub repositories. Packages are prepared using poetry.

I noticed that changelogs from our private packages are not showing in renovate's PRs. Looking through the logs, I see that for private packages the sourceUrl field is empty, which will cause this problem. Where does the value of this sourceUrl field come from and what should I complete to make the changelogs populate?

I am aware that I can add the sourceUrl field in the renovate config file using the packageRules declaration, but I am wondering if I can do it differently by completing this field in the package itself.

This information is not yet surfaced to the docs but will be soonish. https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/main/lib/modules/datasource/pypi/index.ts#L37

It's always been possible to add it unofficially through global packageRules. We'll add official support soon as it does not seem to interfere with our caching

[jacek-jablonski]

Would it be possible to make this field sourceUrl behave like template?

As Artifact Registry does not provide json endpoints, users of such a registry will always have to list all their packages, which is not very convenient :).

[rarkins]

Can you give an example of what your config would look like if you had templating available?

[jacek-jablonski]

f.e.:

"packageRules": [
  {
    "matchDepPrefixes": ["ourorg-"],
    "sourceUrl": "https://github.com/myorg/{{depName}}"
  }
]
