chore(renovate): onboard to shared Renovate preset - #38
Conversation
Add a repo-level renovate.json extending the org preset in EduIDE/.github, plus two repo-specific adjustments: - postUpdateOptions: helmUpdateSubChartArchives, because both chart/charts/reposilite-1.3.25.tgz and chart/Chart.lock are tracked in git and must be regenerated whenever the reposilite subchart is bumped. - Disable the helm-values dep for the gradle-cache image. values.yaml leaves image.tag empty on purpose so the tag defaults to the chart version at release time; there is nothing for Renovate to update. - Disable chart/charts/** so vendored archives are never edited directly. Remove .whitesource, a leftover from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QLGHEpzx7D9NYHx4fCmHa9

🌐 Web query:
Renovate local preset syntax local> platform local presets cannot be resolved visitedPresets.merged
💡 Result:
The error involving visitedPresets.merged is a general internal tracking mechanism within Renovate's preset resolution engine [1], which is often exposed when Renovate encounters a critical failure while trying to resolve a configuration preset [2][3]. When combined with the message that local> presets "cannot be resolved," it almost always indicates a context mismatch where Renovate is running in an environment that lacks access to the platform-specific API needed to fetch the preset [4][5][3]. Common Causes and Solutions: 1. Running with --platform=local If you are running Renovate locally (e.g., using renovate --platform=local or in a CI environment that defaults to local mode), Renovate cannot resolve local> presets because it does not have a "platform" context (such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) to perform API calls [4][2]. - Solution: You must either provide the necessary environment variables (like PLATFORM, ENDPOINT, and TOKEN) so Renovate can identify the host platform [5], or if you only need to validate config, use a tool specifically designed to handle local preset resolution [2]. 2. Missing Platform Credentials If you are running in a CI environment that is intended to communicate with a remote repository, the runner may lack the required authentication to access the repository hosting the local> preset [6][3]. - Solution: Ensure the Renovate instance is configured with a valid platform token that has permissions to access the private repository containing the preset [6]. 3. Misconfigured Preset Path Verify that the local> preset string follows the required syntax [7]. The standard format is local>owner/repository or local>owner/repository//path/to/preset. If you are using a tag, it should be appended with # (e.g., local>owner/repo#tag) [7]. If the path is not correctly formatted, Renovate will fail to locate the file, triggering a resolution error [7][3]. If you are performing configuration validation (e.g., renovate-config-validator) and hitting this error, it is a known limitation when the validator is run in an environment that cannot resolve the remote repository hosting the preset [3]. In this case, you may need to mock the environment or bypass the preset check during local validation [2].

Merge EduIDE/.github#4 before this change.
The target main branch does not contain renovate-config.json, so local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config can fail to resolve until pull request #4 merges. Then run Renovate on the target platform and confirm the preset appears in visitedPresets.merged. Do not use --platform=local.

What and why
Onboards this repo to the org-wide Renovate rollout. Adds
renovate.jsonat the repo root extending the shared presetlocal>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config(that preset ships in EduIDE/.github#4, not merged yet - Renovate will error on the preset lookup until it lands).Two repo-specific adjustments on top of the preset:
postUpdateOptions: ["helmUpdateSubChartArchives"]-chart/charts/reposilite-1.3.25.tgzandchart/Chart.lockare both tracked in git (git ls-files chart/confirms). Without this, a reposilite bump would editChart.yamland leave the vendored archive and the lock digest stale.helm-valuesdep for the gradle-cache image -chart/values.yamlsetsimage.repository: ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cachewithtag: "", so the tag defaults to the chart version at release time. Renovate'shelm-valuesmanager does extract this dep, withcurrentValue: "", which is pure noise.chart/charts/**- defensive guard so vendored subchart archives are never treated as directly manageable. Nothing there is extracted today; the rule matters only if a subchart is ever vendored unpacked.Also deletes
.whitesource, a leftover from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial. There is no.github/dependabot.ymlin this repo, so nothing to remove there.No CI changes.
docker-build.ymlalready runs on PRs and builds the image, which runsgo build;chart-preview.ymlcoverschart/**. Deliberately not adding ago teststep: this repo has zero*_test.gofiles across its 22 Go source files, and a green no-op test step would falsely imply coverage.How it was verified
Everything below was actually run on this branch:
renovate-config-validator --strict(renovate@44.46.7), both with an explicit path and via auto-discovery -Config validated successfully against 1 file(s), exit 0.renovate --platform=local --dry-run=extractagainst the working tree to confirm the rules match real dependencies rather than nothing. Thehelm-valuesmanager extracts 2 deps fromchart/values.yaml:ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cache(currentValue: "") andbusybox:1.36from the reposilite init container.helmv3extractsreposilite 1.3.25fromchart/Chart.yamlwithlockFiles: ["chart/Chart.lock"].renovate --platform=local --dry-run=lookupwith the same packageRules (extends stripped, sincelocal>presets cannot resolve on the local platform) logsDependency: ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cache, is disabled- the rule matches.cd src && go build ./... && go vet ./...- both exit 0, clean.

First Renovate run after that merges is the real test.
Deployment impact
versionbumped)Risk and rollback
Low. This PR only adds a bot config file and deletes a dead one - no application code, no chart, no workflow touched. Worst case is Renovate opening noisy or wrong PRs, which are reviewed individually before merge. Rollback is reverting this commit.
Known follow-up we are deliberately not fixing here:
release.ymlfires on push tomainfiltered bypaths: chart/**, so a merged Renovate chart bump (reposilite subchart,Chart.lock, the.tgz) triggers chart-releaser without aversion:bump inchart/Chart.yaml. chart-releaser will then either re-release the existing version or no-op. Needs a separate fix - either have Renovate bump the chart version too, or makerelease.ymlskip when the version is unchanged.A
dependency-reviewcheck will start running on PRs here once EduIDE/.github#4 lands and the shared workflows are picked up.Summary by CodeRabbit
