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
