Renovate either failing, or succeeding but actually failing

How are you running Renovate?

A Mend.io-hosted app

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

No response

Please tell us more about your question or problem

I have Renovate configured on https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android for the past several years, and it's been working very well.

However, recently it's either been failing (as reported by the dashboard at https://developer.mend.io/github/pachli/pachli-android) or succeeding, but if you dig in to the logs it's actually failing reporting a "temporary error" because something is receiving SIGTERM.

There's no indication of any problems on the Renovate dashboard in the GitHub issue it maintains (pachli/pachli-android#99), you have to click through to the hosted Renovate dashboard.

The failures are kernel-out-of-memory, and the Renovate dashboard does report it's using 3GB of a 3GB limit. However, it's not clear when this started (the available logs don't go back very far), and I don't think the app has an unusual set of dependencies for a typical Android app.

This may be related to pachli/pachli-android#1494 which introduced Gradle dependency verification. I could see how that might cause Renovate to require additional resources, but it's a bit concerning if (for open source projects, and to be clear, thank you for making this service available for free) the choice is easy update tracking with Renovate or improved dependency checksum and signature verification.

We have the ability to boost resources for OSS projects, which is probably the easiest thing to do in this case. Please stay tuned

Sorry! I dropped the ball on this one. @justo-mend @nabeelsaabna can we get the github.com/pachli account on the OSS boosted plan?

@rarkins @nabeelsaabna Thanks, I see the run completed. However, it doesn't appear to have found updated dependencies (let me know if you would prefer this as a new issue).

For example, the retrofit2 library. My libs.versions.toml file currently lists version 2.11.0 for that library (https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/blob/main/gradle/libs.versions.toml#L72).

The most recent release is 3.0.0 (https://github.com/square/retrofit/releases/tag/3.0.0).

The dependency dashboard (pachli/pachli-android#99) doesn't show an active or pending update for the Retrofit2 dependency (it is shown in the "Detected dependency" list in that issue).

In the log for the most recent run (https://developer.mend.io/github/pachli/pachli-android/-/job/2ff308ce-6ace-4d14-9ea6-db8f6f92ac7b) it is found.

Hi there,

Please stick to one topic/question per Discussion. Start a new discussion per topic.

This prevents future users from finding this discussion and getting confused by multiple questions and answers. One question and answer per Discussion works best.

For example:

• Don't create a discussion with multiple questions requiring multiple answers
• If you got an answer to your first question, don't change topic like "Can I also ask you how I might..." which would then require a different answer. Mark the current discussion as answered and open a new one.

Thanks, the Renovate team
