Support sbt projects about dependabot-core HOT 29 OPEN

A project by @fthomas already does this. Hope you could maybe setup some sort of collaboration !

https://github.com/fthomas/scala-steward

from dependabot-core.

We did end up setting up scala steward as a github action running every night. This can be done without the need to deploy anything manually. See https://github.com/scala-steward-org/scala-steward-action

from dependabot-core.

Hey, a whole org with ~100 scala repos here that would be happy to beta test sbt support :)

from dependabot-core.

@abdulapopoola, I noticed this note in the contributors guide regarding adding support for new ecosystems. Could you confirm whether there would be interest in adding support for sbt specifically? If so I would be interesting in tackling this 🙂

from dependabot-core.

I ran into this sbt plugin which should help a lot !
https://github.com/rtimush/sbt-updates

You can append addSbtPlugin("com.timushev.sbt" % "sbt-updates" % "0.3.4") to the end of project/plugins.sbt (creating it if not present) and then run sbt dependencyUpdates and parse the output in stdout. It looks like that:

[info] Found 10 dependency updates for notification-impl
[info]   com.datadoghq:dd-java-agent:dd-java-agent            : 0.10.0           -> 0.16.0
[info]   com.lightbend.lagom:lagom-logback                    : 1.4.6  -> 1.4.8           
[info]   com.lightbend.lagom:lagom-reloadable-server:dev-mode : 1.4.6  -> 1.4.8           
[info]   com.lightbend.lagom:lagom-scaladsl-dev-mode          : 1.4.6  -> 1.4.8           
[info]   com.lightbend.lagom:lagom-scaladsl-server            : 1.4.6  -> 1.4.8          

Note that in multi-project build you will have duplicated lines.

Even partial support for sbt in dependabot would be great (ie creating the PR to notify the library has been updated). It will probably be impossible to cover all ways in which versions are defined in sbt since you can code in your build files.

@albuch Renovate has a constraint for sbt projects. 😞
As @mark-dhl said, Scala Steward is a really best choice for Scala/Sbt.

from dependabot-core.

Anything I can do to make our Scala project rely on dependabot?
We have a multi-tier project that combines 4 projects into a one repo with multiple SBT build files.

Hi @dorranh ; yeah; this is something we would be willing to explore in collaboration and we'd love it if you can help get this started.

from dependabot-core.

Hi @abdulapopoola! I just wanted to follow up and let you / everyone know that this is still on my radar. I just haven't had the bandwidth to work on this the past few months. I still aim to take a stab at it in the near future though 🙂.

from dependabot-core.

FYI, we currently achieve the alerting part with https://github.com/scalacenter/sbt-dependency-submission

from dependabot-core.

Totally up for this. I've got some work to do getting Maven support out of beta first, but once that's done sbt support would be a great addition.

from dependabot-core.

My company is working with scala, once support for Gitlab and sbt is there I'd be happy to become a paying customer of dependabot.

from dependabot-core.

@Grundlefleck sorry about that - I've reopened the pull request and added the "enhancement" label, which should prevent stalebot rudely closing it again.

Right now the Dependabot team is working pretty flat out on some scaling challenges and bringing more of Dependabot's features to GitHub natively, which means we've (regrettably) been neglecting dependabot-core a bit. I can't promise a timeline, but I'm hopeful we'll be able to spend more time on dependabot-core soon. When we can give it some proper attention, your SBT pull request will be top of the list.

This thread makes me feel like dependabot is prebeta test for SBT....

Looking at the GitHub roadmap for issues related to Dependabot, it doesn't look too bright:
https://github.com/github/roadmap/projects/1?card_filter_query=dependabot

There used to be "Ecosystem updates" in Q1 and Q2 2021, but I don't see anything for Q3/Q4 or 2022.

At least, this issue is top-7 at the moment in terms of 👍 votes:
https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc

In summary: 🤞

from dependabot-core.

Thanks @tyrcho. I'm still really keen on adding both - will keep you posted.

from dependabot-core.

We are already using dependabot for python and ruby, but the biggest part of our codebase is scala.
Are there any updates on scala/sbt-support?

from dependabot-core.

Not yet. We'd still love to add sbt support, but we're a small team and are currently focussed on scaling Dependabot so it can create automated security fixes for all GitHub repos.

from dependabot-core.

I was linked here from https://dependabot.com/java/ - I would like to help beta test Java Maven support

from dependabot-core.

The PR I raised as a starting point for sbt support (#1589) was closed without comment due to staleness. Not sure whether to interpret as a bad PR that I can improve, or lack of team capacity, or something else. I'm still willing to continue on the functionality, but would prefer to see some indication of whether I'm likely to see it ever getting merged before spending more time on it.

from dependabot-core.

There is another alternative that supports scala/sbt (among many others) in a rudimentary version: https://github.com/apps/renovate
See https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/manager/sbt/ for docs.

@dciborow got a link for that?

@francisdb It is said here: https://dependabot.com/java/ with a link to this issue to a betatester

I would like to test it if possible

from dependabot-core.

Me, too! 🙋‍♀️

I would like to be a beta tester for sbt support

This isn't on our near-term roadmap, but we'd happily accept a PR if anyone in the community wants to take a stab at it.
