• closes Renovate fails to update dependencies correctly #1252

Situation

When Renovate attempts to update dependencies from package.json it regularly fails the CI workflow .github/workflows/check-dist.yml because it does not run the .husky/pre-commit script.

The commands in this script are however essential to rebuild the action, including propagating changes to the dist directory:

npm ci
npm run format
npm run build

Change

Add a new workflow rebuild-dist.yml that runs after Renovate PRs, rebuilds the action and commits any changes to the Renovate PR branch.

The workflow uses the action https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action.

Verification

This could be verified by a Cypress.io team member with write privileges to the repo.

The Dependency Dashboard could be used to recreate a blocked PR such as

• fix(deps): update dependency debug to v4.4.3 #1552

Otherwise, just wait for the next Renovate PR creation / update.
