Support for git dependencies in cargo

[richvdh]

Tell us more.

https://github.com/richvdh/renovate-cargo-git-test is an example of a Cargo project with a git dependency. Cargo.lock is out of date, and can be updated with cargo update -p empty-git-lib.

Renovate reports:

{
  "baseBranch": "main"
  "config": {
    "cargo": [
      {
        "deps": [
          {
            "currentValue": "0.1.0",
            "datasource": "crate",
            "depName": "empty-git-lib",
            "depType": "dependencies",
            "lockedVersion": "0.1.0",
            "managerData": {
              "nestedVersion": true
            },
            "packageName": "empty-git-lib",
            "skipReason": "git-dependency",
            "updates": []
          }
        ],
        "lockFiles": [
          "Cargo.lock"
        ],
        "packageFile": "Cargo.toml"
      }
    ]
  }
}

My understanding, looking at the source, is that Renovate will refuse to touch any dependency that comes from a git repo. It would be great if support could be added!

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this.

To get started, please read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.

@rarkins @secustor can someone fork to reproductions and create a feature issue? I'm on mobile 🙃

Same, but I have it bookmarked for follow up next week if needed
