Dependabot for Jenkins plugin development
Automating dependency updates with Dependabot, based on the Jenkins experience.
Slides
Abstract
What is common between Maven, NPM or RPM? It is dependency hell. Continuously updating dependencies is a significant overhead. If you do not do that, any next major update might be a problem for you. It is exactly what we hit while adding Java 11 support to Jenkins. What if we delegate such routine work to a bot? In our project we chose Dependabot, and in this talk I would like to do a brief introduction to the tool.
