Support for bumpVersion when updating via regexManager

[jkroepke]

Tell us more.

I'm coming from #8231

In some cases, I still have to work with regexManager to detect dependencies in helm values files. However, Renovate would not update the Chart.yaml in such scenarios.

Almost every helm chart maintainer uses helm/chart-releaser + helm/chart-testing which requires a version bump in the same PR. Normally, each PR bumps the version of the helm charts which will be automatically released.

Currently, renovate does not support this pattern.

The best possible solution in my mind, if bumpVersion would support an list of file + regex. Should would be a more generic approach and would work for any future scenarios.

Example Dependency: https://github.com/jkroepke/helm-charts/blob/5385315530627a5a6214d3730223ba0da5a82d4d/charts/github-exporter/Chart.yaml#L6-L7

I like the idea.

{
  "bumpVersion": "minor"
}

For the current behavior in which the manager decides where to update

{
  "bumpVersion": {
     "fileMatch": "aFile.yml",
     "matchStrings": [
       "version:\\s+(?<version>\\S*)"
     ]
  }
}

WDYT? @rarkins @viceice

My proposal mimics the regex custom manager, so multiple files would be possible if fileMatch matches multiple files.

Ah, great. 👍

Then, it could be tricky on user site to provide an regex with has to work both files. Because the REAMDE may contains a lot of x.y.z versions and only one should be replaced.

It may not an issue if you are regex pro. :D

sounds good, maybe a new bumpVersions option array. so it's easier to define file and version matches and also what kind of bump, eg minor or patch

Hi @viceice

what can be the next steps here?

[viceice]

I think a maintainer needs to formalize in an issue to have an agreement.

Hi there,

Please do not unnecessarily @ mention maintainers like @rarkins or @viceice. Doing so causes annoying notifications and makes it harder to maintain this repository.

For example, never @ mention a maintainer when you are creating a discussion if your desire is to get attention. This is rude behavior, just like shouting out your coffee order in a Starbucks before it's your turn.

It's OK to comment in an issue or discussion after multiple days or weeks. But please, still don't @ mention people. The maintainers try to answer most discussions, but they can't answer all discussions. If you're still not getting an answer, take a look at the information you've given us and see if you can improve it.

Thanks, the Renovate team
