Feature description

We have got BOM like this

https://github.com/quarkus-qe/quarkus-test-framework/blob/692b6ed2f55d4a3258625c7b814a19f0ad8586f8/pom.xml#L78

<dependency>
    <groupId>${quarkus.platform.group-id}</groupId>
    <artifactId>${quarkus.platform.artifact-id}</artifactId>
    <version>${quarkus.platform.version}</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

as very often, we need to be able to use project with different Quarkus versions and make this change from CLI like this mvn clean verify -Dquarkus.platform.version=3.0.1.Final -Dquarkus.platform.artifact-id=io.quarkus.platform etc. It really depends on situation. However I didn't find a way to tell Dependabot to update Maven properties

<quarkus.platform.artifact-id>quarkus-bom</quarkus.platform.artifact-id>
<quarkus.platform.group-id>io.quarkus</quarkus.platform.group-id>
<quarkus.platform.version>3.0.3.Final</quarkus.platform.version>

It would be nice if Dependabot could automate this bump for us (it can be optional behavior in case you sense some troubles doing this be default...).

That is, dependabot doesn't update quarkus.platform.version.

Hi @michalvavrik I don't really understand what the issue is here? Are you saying that Dependabot doesn't update this? I have lots of Quarkus projects set up that way and Dependabot updates them just fine.

See quarkusio/quarkus-super-heroes#507

Hi @michalvavrik I don't really understand what the issue is here?

Issue is that Dependabot didn't create single bump for this very dependency.

Are you saying that Dependabot doesn't update this?

Yes.

I didn't know that, opened issue because I assumed that Dependabot doesn't handle this. In that case my only explanation is this line

https://github.com/quarkus-qe/quarkus-test-framework/blob/a64ea18a5aac85fcde4e21dc37d42d562b9fab03/.github/dependabot.yml#L10

which makes sense (and I didn't mention it till now) and I'll close this issue if dropping it fixes the problem. Thanks for the link and info.

You can see the dependabot.yml that we use here: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-super-heroes/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml

no worry, that was the first thing I checked, thanks!

Alright, we have it working now quarkus-qe/quarkus-test-framework#1001 (removing the ignore rule for plugin helped), sorry for the fuss and thank you for help.
