Action doesn't merge a bump from the correct target

[Vincent-FundApps]

Hello,

I've moved to the v2.0.1 of your action and I'm getting now this strange behaviour.

The target is set to minor, however when it finds a minor upgrade it doesn't merge it and says manual merging required.

Could you please let me know what's wrong?

 Run ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge@v2.0.13s

hmmm interesting, can you share your workflow file and your auto-merge.yml (if you have one)

[ahmadnassri]

I believe v2.0.2 has the hotfix that will address your issue.

upgrade to latest (v2.0.4) or simply use v2 in your workflow: ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge@v2 to use the latest within the same major

Thanks @ahmadnassri
I bumped the action 2.0.4 and it's approving and merging as a charm.

It's interesting to not that it the action got upgraded to 2.0.1 and not 2.0.4 by dependabot yesterday. Not too sure when you released v2.0.4 but maybe something to look into.

[ahmadnassri]

they were all released in sequence on the same day

possibly, your dependabot config has a max number of PRs per day / week etc ... or it just derped 🤷‍♂️

regardless, that's a dependabot question I cannot answer

I also had a run where I got messaged with "manual merging required". Upgrading the action from v1 to v2 helped.

Here is my final config:

/.github/workflows/ci.yml

      - name: 'Automerge dependency updates from Dependabot'
        uses: ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge@v2
        # Guarantee that commit comes from Dependabot (don't blindly trust external GitHub action checks)
        if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]'
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}

/.github/auto-merge.yml

- match:
    dependency_type: all
    update_type: 'semver:major'

/.github/dependabot.yml

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: npm
    directory: '/'
    schedule:
      interval: weekly
    pull-request-branch-name:
      separator: '-'

    commit-message:
