DEP-FOO

Dependencies manager for ruby based applications. We use it to keep our gems up to date in projects hosted on a community gitlab instance.

Getting started

To be able to use it, you will have to create your access token on: https://gitlab.example.org/-/profile/personal_access_tokens There are some configuration that must happen. For that you will need to add some variables to your scheduled job:

GITLAB_PROJECT_ID: That's your project ID.

For your project, one can find it with:

curl -s  'https://gitlab.example.org/api/v4/projects?search=foo/bar&search_namespaces=true' --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOKEN" | jq .[] | jq ."id"
=> 31337

GITLAB_USER_ID: The user that will be open the PR

That is the ID of the user, not the login. One way to find it is:

curl -s  'https://gitlab.example.org/api/v4/users?username=superuser' --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOKEN" | jq .[] | jq ."id"
=> 69

You can use different solvers like (minor, patch, major and strict). More information on https://bundler.io/man/bundle-update.1.html. Just pass it to parameter to depfoo.rb, check this for more information.

If everything goes well, there will be a new merge request on the target project
