Two things. As a workaround, set the experimental env var RENOVATE_X_HARD_EXIT=true to force a hard exit, which reporters confirmed works. Properly fixed in v25.49.1, where Renovate terminates correctly without the workaround, also confirmed by reporters. Source: Sou…
Problem outcome: unknown
Starting with Renovate 24.40.0, the renovate process finishes its work but never exits, hanging the Kubernetes cronjob pod. The cause was the AWS SDK ECR client keeping a connection open, so the node process stayed alive.
Problem outcome: unknown
Renovate lockfiles not being updated in dependency PRs. This was a Renovate regression fixed in version 23.70.1, upgrade to that release or later.
Fixed in Renovate 23.16.3. The git invocation was corrected to pass the auth header properly. If you are pinned between 23.11.0 and 23.16.2 on Azure DevOps, upgrade. Two reporters confirmed it works. Source: Source:
Problem outcome: unknown
Renovate 23.11.0 and later failed during init on Azure DevOps with fatal: could not read Username for ' terminal prompts disabled. A git command change broke how credentials were passed to git ls-remote.

This was a Renovate bug fixed in version 31.43.2, upgrade to that release or later and the pnpm lockfile updates again. The fix corrected the packageFilters matching in lib/manager/npm/extract/pnpm.ts so paths with a leading ./ are recognized. If you self-host and pin Renovate, make sure you are past 31.43.2. Source: …
Problem outcome: unknown
Renovate opens PRs that bump versions in package.json but never update pnpm-lock.yml, so CI fails on pnpm install --frozen-lockfile. Reported against the hosted WhiteSource Renovate app. The root cause was in package file matching: Renovate failed to recognize pnpm workspace package files when packageFilters used lead…
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixed in renovate 20.2.3, which added min_access_level=30 to the GitLab project listing so only repos the bot can work on are discovered, plus INFO-level logging of all autodiscovered repos. The reporter confirmed the patch fixed it. Source: Source:
Problem outcome: unknown
Self-hosted Renovate against a self-hosted GitLab with many projects processed only some repos and then exited 0, silently skipping the rest. Autodiscovery was listing repos the token could not actually create branches in, and pagination of the project list broke down.
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixed in Renovate 14.3.20. The fix sends the correct Accept header when reading tag lists from registries, and handles the library/ prefix only for Docker Hub. If you hit a 406 from Artifactory with Docker image lookups, upgrade past 14.3.20. As a general rule, always use fully qualified image names (with the registry…
Problem outcome: unknown
Renovate fails against a JFrog Artifactory Docker registry with a 406 error when fetching tags, while the same config works against Docker Hub. It runs as a cronjob on OpenShift handling Dockerfiles with pinDigests=true. Two overlapping causes were found: Renovate sent the manifest Accept header (application/vnd.docke…
Problem outcome: unknown
This was a Renovate regression fixed in version 23.70.1, upgrade to that release or later. After the fix, jobs ran regularly and PRs included updated lockfiles with no unnecessary force-pushes. If you self-host, update the Renovate image or package to 23.70.1+; on the hosted app the fix rolled out automatically. Sourc…
Problem outcome: unknown
If client.py writes long-named empty files instead of PNGs, your installed package is behind the fix. The bug was fixed in PR #67, so pip install --upgrade stability-sdk to get the current version. One user also noted a quick workaround of shortening the artifact filename in client.py, but upgrading is the real fix.…
Problem outcome: unknown
Renovate PRs changed package.json but left yarn.lock untouched, breaking yarn install --frozen-lockfile in CI. Reported against the hosted WhiteSource Renovate app on GitHub.com after a sudden behavior change. Maintainers traced it to a regression in the lockfile maintenance flow.
