Renovate Question

[Alex Earl]

Hi All,

I am pretty new to using Renovate for updating dependencies for my plugins. A couple of times when the plugin parent pom is updated with a new Spotless version, the PR from Renovate fails because I have spotless checking enabled in my pom.xml. New versions of Spotless seem to change the recommendations for certain things. Has anyone else run into this and if so, what is your method for handling this situation? Perhaps I have something configured incorrectly?

Thanks!

I fetch the failing pull request locally (gh pr checkout xxx), run `mvn spotless:apply`, commit the change, and push it with `git push`.

It's not automatic, but it works.

I guess that is as good as anything! 

Thanks Mark!

Same. If the diff is more than a few hunks long, I recommend adding it to `.git-blame-ignore-revs`.

You can also assign it to copilot / tell pass it the error message and it can fix these sort of things.

Only works on origin PRs - which renovate does.
