Debug Renovate Configuration

Test Renovate configuration changes locally with the renovate-dryrun command. This wrapper script runs Renovate in dry-run mode against the current repository and displays a formatted summary of proposed updates.

Usage

# Basic usage
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN > .z/​renovate-dryrun.log

# Test specific branch (defaults to current branch)
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN --branch feature/​update-deps > .z/​renovate-dryrun.log

# Debug mode with raw Renovate output
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN --raw > .z/​renovate-debug.log

The output displays proposed updates in this format:

[renovate/​aws-5.x] chore(deps): update terraform aws to v5.68.0 (automerge: true)
  depName: aws
  version: 5.49.0 -> 5.68.0
  datasource: terraform-provider
  packageFile: terraform/​tfaction/​main.tf

Important Notes

  • You MUST validate renovate.json5 configuration file in the current directory. To validate:
    # Validate renovate.json5 in current directory
    npx --package renovate -c 'renovate-config-validator renovate.json5'
    
  • You SHOULD save output to .z/ since the command takes time and produces extensive output:
  • You MUST specify --token $GH_TOKEN. Use the $GH_TOKEN environment variable, not $GITHUB_TOKEN.
