<title>Version 2 yaml validator doesn&`#39`;t catch duplicated `ignore:` sections.</title> GitHub issue 1919 in dependabot/dependabot-core (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # Version 2 yaml validator doesn&`#39`;t catch duplicated `ignore:` sections. - State: open - Author: georgedorn - Created: 2020-06-18T18:02:48Z - Updated: 2025-02-15T00:05:02Z - Repository: dependabot/dependabot-core - Number: `#1919` ## Labels - T: bug 🐞 - F: configuration-file - F: dependency-ignores --- This validates: ``` version: 2 updates: - package-ecosystem: pip directory: "/" schedule: interval: daily time: &`#39`;13:00&`#39`; open-pull-requests-limit: 10 ignore: - dependency-name: chromedriver-binary ignore: - dependency-name: celery commit-message: prefix: chore ``` But then dependabot happily opens PRs to update chromedriver-binary, as the second `ignore:` clobbers the first. (I&`#39`;m now aware of the correct format; this bug report is because the validator didn&`#39`;t catch this. Also, maybe somebody else searching for why dependabot isn&`#39`;t respecting their &`#39`;ignore&`#39`; statements will find this, too.) ## Timeline - georgedorn added label "bug" **feelepxyz** commented on 2020-06-19T10:05:07Z: > `@georgedorn` thanks for reporting!

Add a `version`. This key is mandatory. The file must start with `version: 2`. ... 2. Optionally, if you have dependencies in a private registry, add a `registries` section containing authentication details. For more information, see Configuring access to private registries for Dependabot. ... 3. Add an `updates` section, with an entry for each package manager you want Dependabot to monitor. This key is mandatory. You use it to configure how Dependabot updates the versions or your project&`#39`;s dependencies. Each entry configures the update settings for a particular package manager. For more information, see About the dependabot.yml file and Dependabot options reference. ... 4. For each package manager, use: ... - `package- ... ystem` to specify the package manager. For more information about the supported package managers, see ... `. - `directories` or `directory` to specify the location of ... manifest or other definition files. For more information, see ... multiple locations for manifest files. - `schedule.interval` to specify how often to check for new versions. ... You can disable version updates entirely by deleting the `dependabot.yml` file from your repository. More usually, you want to disable updates temporarily for one or more dependencies, or package managers. ... - Package managers: disable by setting `open-pull-requests-limit: 0` or by commenting out the relevant `package-ecosystem` in the configuration file. - Specific dependencies: disable by adding `ignore` attributes for packages or applications that you want to exclude from updates. ... When you disable dependencies, you can use wild cards to match a set of related libraries. You can also specify which versions to exclude. This is particularly useful if you need to block updates to a library, pending work to support a breaking change to its API, but want to get any security fixes to the version you use. ... The example `dependabot.yml` file below includes examples of ... disable updates to ... dependencies, while allowing other updates to continue ... ```yaml # `dependabot.yml` file with updates # disabled for Docker and limited for npm ... version: 2 updates: # Configuration for Dockerfile - package-ecosystem: "docker" directory: "/" schedule: interval: "weekly" # Disable all pull requests for Docker dependencies open-pull-requests-limit: 0 # Configuration for npm - package-ecosystem: "npm" directory: "/" schedule: interval: "weekly" ignore: # Ignore updates to packages that start with &`#39`;aws&`#39`; # Wildcards match zero or more arbitrary characters - dependency-name: "aws*" # Ignore some updates to the &`#39`;express&`#39`; package - dependency-name: "express" # Ignore only new versions for 4.x and 5.x versions: ["4.x", "5.x"] # For all packages, ignore all patch updates - dependency-name: "*" update-types: ["version-update:semver-patch"] ``` ...

You can customize your Dependabot configuration to suit your needs, by adding options to your`dependabot.yml` file. For example, you can make sure that Dependabot uses the correct package manifest files, and updates only the dependencies you want maintained. ... ## Ignoring specific dependencies ... If you are not ready to adopt changes from certain dependencies in your project, you can configure Dependabot to ignore those dependencies when it opens pull requests for version updates. You can do this using one of the following methods. ... Configure the`ignore` option for the dependency in your`dependabot.yml` file. ... - You can use this to ignore updates for specific dependencies, versions, and types of updates. - For more information, see`ignore` in Dependabot options reference. ...

You can use`allow` to tell Dependabot about the dependencies you want to maintain.`allow` is usually used in conjunction with`ignore`. ... By default, Dependabot creates version update pull requests only for the dependencies that are explicitly defined in a manifest (`direct` dependencies). This configuration uses`allow` to tell Dependabot that we want it to maintain`all` types of dependency. That is, both the`direct` dependencies and their dependencies (also known as indirect dependencies, sub-dependencies, or transient dependencies). In addition, the configuration tells Dependabot to ignore all dependencies with a name matching the pattern`org.xwiki.*` because we have a different process for maintaining them. ... Dependabot checks for all allowed dependencies, then filters out any ignored dependencies. If a dependency is matched by an allow and an ignore statement, then it is ignored. ... updates: - package-ecosystem: "maven" directory: "/" registries: - maven-xwiki-public - maven-xwiki-snapshots schedule: interval: "weekly" allow: # Allow both direct and indirect updates for all packages. - dependency-type: "all" ignore: # Ignore XWiki dependencies.

Add CodeQL to the existing ignore list.

.github/dependabot.yml:29 repeats ignore in the same GitHub Actions update mapping. Dependabot can let the second list replace the first, which removes the existing Ruby and Jekyll ignores.
