Scala Steward

We have Scala Steward set up to help with keeping Scala dependencies up to date. It is a bot which will scan the dependencies in the project and open pull requests to update them where appropriate.

When we receive a PR from Scala Steward there is a Github action called Test Scala-steward PRs which will build the project and run the Scala tests. If this action passes the PR will then still need to be reviewed, approved and merged by a team member. As long as the tests pass and the changes look right (they should only be dependency updates) then team members should feel confident approving and merging Scala Steward PRs.
