Config, package grouping does not seem to work

[sommmen]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Devops, always latest

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Given the following config;

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "Serilog",
      "matchPackagePatterns": [
        "^[sS]erilog"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

It should group all Serilog packages - how ever i now have 2 open pr's:

chore(deps): update serilog (major)
serilog/serilog-aspnetcore (Serilog.AspNetCore)
serilog/serilog-extensions-hosting (Serilog.Extensions.Hosting)
serilog/serilog-extensions-logging (Serilog.Extensions.Logging)

chore(deps): update dependency serilog to 4.2.0
serilog/serilog (Serilog)

What am i doing wrong?

Regexes need to start and stop with / ... /, e.g.

      "matchPackagePatterns": [
        "/^[sS]erilog/"
      ]

Hm that seems to fault;

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "Serilog",
      "matchPackagePatterns": [
        "/^[sS]erilog/"
	  ]
    }
  ]
}

renovate@39.185.8

Sorry, I missed that you were using a deprecated configuration name. In v39 you should be using matchPackageNames. However, check in case you should be using matchDepNames instead. You can see the depName/packageName in the debug log messages

I've validated the renovate.json with the schema and that looks good.

I'm still running into this issue, can you spot the mistake here?

config.js

module.exports = {
  platform: 'azure',
  endpoint: 'https://dev.azure.com/[REDACTED]/',
  token: process.env.TOKEN,
  repositories: [
    '[REDACTED]/[REDACTED]'
  ]
};

Renovate.json

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "configMigration": true,
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "Serilog",
      "matchPackageNames": [
        "/^[sS]erilog/"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The log output has a fatal error unrelated to your question.

@rarkins

39.185.7 was the last version working, the error is unrelated to this question but seems like a bug in renovate.
39.185.8 seems to break with the token not found error.
I'll park this for now.

I've updated the renovate.json to use matchDepNames but i'm getting the same result as matchPackageName, where it creates 2 branches.

It does actually use the group in the branchName.
