Renovate supports updating Julia dependencies.

File Matching¶

By default, Renovate will check any files matching the following regular expression: /(^|/)(Julia)?Project\.toml$/.

For details on how to extend a manager's managerFilePatterns value, please follow this link.

Supported datasources¶

This manager supports extracting the following datasources: julia-general-metadata.

Dependency types¶

This manager extracts the following depType values:

`depType`	Description
`deps`	A `[compat]` entry for a package in `[deps]`
`weakdeps`	A `[compat]` entry for a package in `[weakdeps]`, which extensions load
`test`	A `[compat]` entry for a package in `[extras]` that `[targets]` lists for `test`
`build`	A `[compat]` entry for a package in `[extras]` that `[targets]` lists for `build` only
`extras`	A `[compat]` entry for a package in `[extras]` that no target lists
`compat`	A `[compat]` entry for a package that no section lists

Default config¶

{
  "managerFilePatterns": [
    "/(^|/)(Julia)?Project\\.toml$/"
  ]
}

Additional Information¶

Extracts the [compat] entries of Julia Project.toml and JuliaProject.toml files, and looks each package up in the General registry with the julia-general-metadata datasource and julia versioning.

The manager skips:

the julia entry, which constrains the Julia version itself. Raising its lower bound drops support for older Julia versions, which is the maintainer's decision.
the standard libraries that ship only with Julia, such as LinearAlgebra and Test, because General has no versions for them. The list is fixed: if one of them is added to General later, the manager keeps skipping it until the list is updated.
a package that [sources] takes from a git repository or a local path.

A package's UUID comes from [deps], [weakdeps] or [extras]. With the UUID, a package from another registry that has the name of a General package gets no updates. Its lookup fails on every run, as does the lookup of a package that is not in General. To skip such packages, disable them with packageRules:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchManagers": ["julia"],
      "matchDepNames": ["MyPrivatePackage"],
      "enabled": false
    }
  ]
}

A package's depType is the section that lists it, deps, weakdeps or extras, or for a package in [extras], the target that [targets] lists it for, test or build. So matchDepTypes targets the test dependencies in [targets], and matchFileNames those in a test/Project.toml, which are deps of that file. For example, to group the updates of test dependencies:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchManagers": ["julia"],
      "matchDepTypes": ["test"],
      "groupName": "test dependencies"
    },
    {
      "matchManagers": ["julia"],
      "matchFileNames": ["**/test/Project.toml"],
      "groupName": "test dependencies"
    }
  ]
}

The default rangeStrategy is widen, which adds a specifier for the new release, as CompatHelper and dependabot do: "0.10, 0.11" with 0.12.1 becomes "0.10, 0.11, 0.12".

The manager updates Project.toml only, not Manifest.toml.
