What happened?
Our dependabot configuration doesn't seem to work: https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml
We need to figure out why
What did you expect to happen?
Dependabot runs regulary and updates the following dependencies:
- Rust crates (needs to make sure to stay compatible for old versions for public dependencies)
- Rust toolchain (needs to run once every 6 weeks)
- Github actions
There should be a cooldown period of 1 week
Checklist
I have already looked over the issue tracker and the discussion forum for similar possible closed issues.
This issue can be reproduced on Rust's stable channel. (Please submit the issue in the Rust issue tracker instead if that's not the case)
This issue can be reproduced without requiring a third party crate
