I am expecting digests to be pinned in my repo and instead getting update branch errors.

Config is

    "config:best-practices",

Can you create a minimal reproduction with just it plus the config needed to reproduce?

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

To get started, please read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.

Good luck,

The Renovate team

It appears that HelmRepository instances which are OCI images are marked to have digests attached and they can’t. Needed to turn digest pinning off for them.
