Dependency Upgrade PR Auto-Test and Triage
When a dependency bump PR opens (Dependabot/Renovate or human), it runs the test suite in CI.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerPR opened or updatedGitHub
- LogicOnly dependency manifest changes
- ActionRun install + test suiteShell
- LogicBranch on pass vs fail
- ActionApprove + label readyGitHub
- OutputPost failure triage commentGitHub
What it does
Watches for pull requests that only touch dependency manifests, runs the project's test suite against them, and decides what happens next. Green builds get an auto-approval and a ready-to-merge label; red builds get a comment that names exactly which tests broke so a human can jump straight to the failure.
When to use it
Use it when bots like Dependabot or Renovate open a steady stream of bump PRs and your team wastes time manually kicking off CI and reading logs. It turns a noisy queue into a triaged one.
How it works
- 1A GitHub pull_request event fires when a PR opens or updates.
- 2A logic step filters to PRs that only change `package.json`, lockfiles, or other manifests.
- 3A shell step runs install plus the test suite in an isolated checkout and captures the result.
- 4A logic branch splits on pass versus fail.
- 5On pass, GitHub approves the PR and adds an `auto-merge-ready` label.
- 6On fail, GitHub posts a comment listing the failing test names and the first error line.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
- 2Connect ShellRun sandboxed commands inside the workspace.
- 3Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 4Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 5Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
