How are you running Renovate?

(I'm feeling kinda stupid at the moment... this is confusing me)

I have a repository with a directory containing helm-charts (v3). I managed to get updates working in helm-values, as well as using a RegexManager in the Chartfiles. To be able to release those, the Chart-versions need to be bumped as well. I'm aware this is a long story and that it's still not working by default.

Question: Can I instruct renovate to bump an artificial version string depending on another version change? To be precise I want renovate to use one of the two methods mentioned above to recognize a (for example) minor update, to subsequently bump the artificial version in the Chart.yaml by one minor version.

Any help is appreciated!

Not sure if this is your usecase, but adding "bumpVersion": "patch", to the renovate.json in the repository leads to the chart version being updated if a dependency is changed.

---
apiVersion: v2
name: grafana-tempo-operator
version: 1.0.0
dependencies:
  - name: cert-manager
    repository: https://charts.jetstack.io
    version: 1.13.1

In the example above 1.0.0 is changed as 1.13.1 is noticed as outdated.

And there is a working workaround including running a script in a postUpgradeAction to change things.

I think this open issue is what you want?

• Helm dependencies should optionally bump chart.yaml #4728

Somebody attempted to get it working, with this PR:

• feat(manager/helm-values): Add support for bumpVersion #26441

But we had to revert that soon after, because it was broken (not sure how/why it was broken). The revert PR is:

• fix(manager/helm-values): Revert "feat(manager/helm-values): Add support for bumpVersion" #26758

That's why the issue is still open.
