Dependabot couldn't find a Gemfile for this project

Dependabot couldn't find a Gemfile for this project.

Dependabot requires a Gemfile to evaluate your project's current Ruby dependencies. It had expected to find one at the path: /Gemfile.

If this isn't a Ruby project, or if it is a library, you may wish to disable updates for it from within Dependabot.

You can mention @dependabot in the comments below to contact the Dependabot team.

Hey! Thanks for the question someone will answer you soon.

@dependabot Why is this JS project detected as a Ruby one?

[greysteil]

Dependabot uses whatever GitHub tell us is the default language, or Ruby if it can’t find one (for legacy reasons). You can select the language when you add a repo, though, and can add multiple.

Thanks for giving Dependabot a try.

@greysteil Even if it looks at say at the develop where I want it to merge PRs to?
Also, before I forget, is it possible to get the bot to use the ESLint commit convention as opposed to the Angular one (just for consistency on auto changelog updates and commit history)?

[greysteil]

I’m not at my computer but I’ll take a look when I am. If the only difference in convention is chore vs build then it should now be picking that up (if you have other chore commits, or edit a Dependabot commit to have one).

[Berkmann18]

@greysteil There's also the lowercase (e.g: build) vs capitalised (e.g: Build) that differs.

[greysteil]

Just shipped dependabot/dependabot-core@001089f, which means Dependabot will pick up whether you're using ESLint commit conventions and adjust its commits accordingly.

To get this issue fixed you'll need to click into your Dependabot dashboard (here), click "add language" for this repo, select JS, and specify the target branch as develop (under advanced options). You can then delete the Ruby update config for this repo.

Thanks for giving Dependabot a try, and for the feedback!

Okay, thank you, I'll have a go once I can resume this project.
