Manually force start depcheck for a certain repository

[lucaschen]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Allow the developer to manually force Renovate to re-check dependencies. Currently the wait time for our use cases is approximately 30 minutes; it would be good to be able to manually start that depcheck process once we have published a package.

Check dependency dashboard

[lucaschen]

Apologies, I don't see a way to trigger a job from the dashboard – is there something here that I'm missing?

[viceice]

What renovate type are you using?

[lucaschen]

Apologies – Renovate with GitHub.

It's at the bottom:

[lucaschen]

Yep, I saw that 🙂

Is there any way I can trigger it for a repository without having to resort to using an open PR?

[viceice]

this should also be available on dependencyDashboard

The screenshot is actually from the dashboard. Example: renovatebot/renovate#2958

[lucaschen]

Apologies, I was referring to this dashboard here: https://app.renovatebot.com/dashboard

The reason I would prefer this is so that I can trigger a re-check for any repository in which I've enabled Renovate, without necessarily having to re-check an open PR (which might not exist).

It's not possible today, but you can enable dependencyDashboard in your config to access the capability from an in-repo issue

Thanks @rarkins. I'm currently getting this:

Is it possible to show that checkbox even when no updates appear to be pending?

[rarkins]

@lucaschen yes, please create an issue for that in the main repo and we'll try to get it done soon
