Feature (new functionality)
What would you like Renovate to be able to do?
In most cases users would benefit from knowing "why" dependencies or updates were skipped. Perhaps we should encourage the use of
skipReason
with a free text value instead ofenabled:false
?Did you already have any implementation ideas?
We could replace all our internal
enabled: false
with descriptiveskipReason
values. We could also massage people's configs to changeenabled: false
toskipReason: "disabled"
orskipReason: "disabled by packageRules"
.I'm also considering whether we could even include a skipReason for every matched
fileMatch
result, such as:etc.
The main idea is bringing more visibility, and such results could also be put into a dependencies dashboard.
I've also experienced that some users find "enabled: false" to be unintuitive (because of the negative nature of it I guess).
Are there any workarounds or alternative ideas you've tried to avoid needing this feature?
This is a nice-to-have, the current way works but is not as readable.
Is this a feature you'd be interested in implementing yourself?
Maybe
