Using artifactory with Renovate does not provide json metadata

[bavedarnow]

I've managed to get renovate working with our internal artifactory repo, only to realize that the change log URLs aren't coming through in the pull requests. This is because artifactory does not support the /json endpoint and therefore all of the metadata is unavailable for renovate to parse. Since artifactory is just a remote cache of PyPi, is there a way to grab the json data from PyPi? Potentially by switching out the lookupUrl defined on this line?

Alternatively, is there a way to define a pip index for our private packages only? I'm using the PIP_INDEX_URL environment variable with renovate to define which index to use.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you could remove that environment variable and instead just direct lookups for particular packages using packageRules with packageNames and registryUrls. i.e. if packageNames includes X then use registryUrls Y

I'm trying this out and realizing this wont work because we're using environment variables to feed HTTP basic auth username/password to the PIP_INDEX_URL within jenkins. As far as I know, there isn't a way to use environment variables in renovate configs, right?

pipeline {
  agent any
  environment {
    PATH="/home/user/.yarn/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH"
    RENOVATE_CONFIG_FILE="renovate-config.js"
    RENOVATE_TOKEN=credentials("XXX")
    GITHUB_COM_TOKEN=credentials("XXX")
    ARTIFACTORY = credentials("artifactory")
    ARTIFACTORY_REPO="https://$ARTIFACTORY_USR:$ARTIFACTORY_PSW@the_artifactory_url/simple"
  }
  triggers {
    cron('@hourly')
  }
  stages {
    stage('Renovate') {
      agent {
        dockerfile {
          label 'docker'
        }
      }

      steps {
        sh "PIP_INDEX_URL=$env.ARTIFACTORY_REPO renovate"
        sh "cp /tmp/renovate.log ${WORKSPACE}"
      }

      post {
        always {
          archiveArtifacts 'renovate.log'
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

you can use them in your renovate-config.js like process.env.ARTIFACTORY and assign them to a host rule

After lots of trial and error, I was able to get this working! Thanks for the help.

Jenkinsfile:

pipeline {
  agent any
  environment {
    PATH="/home/user/.yarn/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH"
    RENOVATE_CONFIG_FILE="renovate-config.js"
    RENOVATE_TOKEN=credentials("XXX")
    GITHUB_COM_TOKEN=credentials("XXX")
    ARTIFACTORY = credentials("artifactory")
  }
  triggers {
    cron('@hourly')
  }
  stages {
    stage('Renovate') {
      agent {
        dockerfile { }
      }

      steps {
        sh "renovate"
      }
    }
  }
}

renovate-config.js:

module.exports = {
  packageRules: [
    {
      packageNames: ['your', 'artifactory', 'packages'],
      registryUrls: ['https://artifactory.yourcompany.com/repo-name/simple/']
    }
  ],
  hostRules: [
    {
      baseUrl: 'https://artifactory.yourcompany.com/',
      username: process.env.ARTIFACTORY_USR,
      password: process.env.ARTIFACTORY_PSW
    }
  ]
};
