Is it possible for renovate to remove the rebaseLabel once the rebase has be done?

[zygopleural]

I am using the default rebaseLabel of rebase but after rebasing the label is still there (which is understandable). I just wondered if there is a way to tell renovate to remove the label once rebased or even if anyone has added an action to do this outside of renovate?

I had expected it should be removed, but it's been a long time since I used that approach. Which platform are you using?

[zygopleural]

GitHub

[rarkins]

Why use the label on GitHub if the checkbox can be used instead?

[jcook-uptycs]

This still happens in with self-hosted version 35.91.1 on github?

What is the logic of not removing this ;abel on rebase?

When using the https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#rebaselabel the PR fdoes get rebased, but the label does not get removed. This causes the PR to get rebased everytime renovate runs.

Hello,

pardon the bump, but I was looking into how to keep the rebase label and I ended up on this thread.

I checked the code for the PR, and it seems like there's no way of configuring this behaviour..? Is this something we just don't want by design? I feel like it'd be best for our use case.

Thanks

I will try, verify, and report back, thanks.

So I'm back :)

I don't think it's working, at least not in the way that I understand the sentence renovate will always rebase when automerge is enabled..

My guess is that I'm messing something up in the automerge configurations. I'm attaching a snippet of the output with the settings parsing and its effects.

Please clarify what the current problem is (per your understanding) that you want us to be looking into

[mchccc]

I want PRs to be rebased, always. I tried adding the rebase label via the settings file, but that gets removed after the first run. @viceice said it should always rebase if automerge is enabled, but I'm not seeing that happening and I think my configuration might be wrong in that regard. I do have automerge globally disabled, as I don't want it to run on major updates, but I have it enabled for all other type of changes, as can be seen in my settings being parsed above.

Is that my issue? Should I have it globally enabled and then disable it for majors? Would it rebase then?

[viceice]

https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#rebasewhen

Do you want to always rebase all branches? then set rebasewhen=behind-base-branch globally
