Debug Renovate Configuration

Test Renovate configuration changes locally with the

renovate-dryrun

command. This wrapper script runs Renovate in dry-run mode against the current repository and displays a formatted summary of proposed updates.

Usage

# Basic usage
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN > .z/renovate-dryrun.log

# Test specific branch (defaults to current branch)
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN --branch feature/update-deps > .z/renovate-dryrun.log

# Debug mode with raw Renovate output
renovate-dryrun --token $GH_TOKEN --raw > .z/renovate-debug.log

The output displays proposed updates in this format:

[renovate/aws-5.x] chore(deps): update terraform aws to v5.68.0 (automerge: true)
  depName: aws
  version: 5.49.0 -> 5.68.0
  datasource: terraform-provider
  packageFile: terraform/tfaction/main.tf

Important Notes

You MUST validate

renovate.json5

configuration file in the current directory. To validate:

# Validate renovate.json5 in current directory
npx --package renovate -c 'renovate-config-validator renovate.json5'

You SHOULD save output to
```
.z/
```
since the command takes time and produces extensive output:
You MUST specify
```
--token $GH_TOKEN
```
. Use the
```
$GH_TOKEN
```
environment variable, not
```
$GITHUB_TOKEN
```
.
