Changes:
Context:
A user wanted to know what version of npm renovate uses for its PRs.
Turns out that there is no way to tell Renovate: "use the default version of npm that comes with the installed node version".
But @rarkins gave a solution: edit your
package.json
file to have aengines: npm
field: #8553 (reply in thread)I think this solution should be documented.
This can probably be removed once Renovate bot gets a bit smarter with the npm version selection???
