* feat(lint): add renovate/prefer-fs-util and renovate/prefer-luxon rules Two shared-util substitution rules, both at warn level: - renovate/prefer-fs-util flags value imports of fs, node:fs, fs/promises, node:fs/promises, fs-extra and fs-extra/esm in lib/ source files outside lib/util/fs/, pointing to the scoped helpers from lib/util/fs. Spec files and type-only imports are exempt. A config-only change via no-restricted-imports was considered but rejected: that rule is at error severity globally and per-path warn severity is not expressible, so the 13 existing call sites would break the baseline. - renovate/prefer-luxon flags new Date(...) and Date.now() in lib/ source files, pointing to Luxon per best-practices. Date/time utility modules (lib/util/date, lib/util/pretty-time, lib/util/timestamp) and spec files (vi.setSystemTime etc.) are exempt. Baseline: 13 prefer-fs-util and 45 prefer-luxon warnings, zero errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: use Luxon instead of new Date() at remaining call sites Fixes all renovate/prefer-luxon violations for `new Date(...)`: - `new Date().toISOString()` -> `DateTime.utc().toISO()` (byte-identical output) in the http cache provider, schedule logging and PR cache. - `new Date()` -> `DateTime.now().toJSDate()` for the git commit-date fallback and the rubygems `syncedAt` markers (same `Date` values). - rust-release-channel now computes the Rust 1.0 release date and nightly version dates via `DateTime.utc(...)`; previously `new Date(y, m, d)` used the local timezone while the epoch used UTC, so the comparison was timezone-dependent at the boundary date. Tests run with TZ=UTC, where behavior is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: use lib/util/fs helpers in repository worker Fixes renovate/prefer-fs-util violations outside bootstrap code: - `fs.ensureDir()` -> `ensureDir()` from lib/util/fs (same fs-extra call underneath; it no-ops on an empty dir name, so the repository worker spec now simulates the init failure via a rejected `initRepo` instead of relying on `fs.ensureDir('')` throwing). - `fs.remove(privateCacheDir())` -> `cachePathExists()` + `rmCache()`, keeping the remove-if-present semantics while asserting cacheDir containment. Two call sites keep raw imports with reasoned disable comments: - lib/util/modules.ts synchronously enumerates Renovate's own installed module directories at import time. - lib/util/cache/package/impl/sqlite.ts receives cacheDir as an explicit argument during global initialization, before GlobalConfig (which the scoped cache helpers resolve against) contains cacheDir. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(lint): promote prefer-fs-util and prefer-luxon to error Both rules are narrowed to what is actually accepted practice before being promoted: prefer-luxon no longer flags `Date.now()`: it returns UTC-based epoch milliseconds used for elapsed-time measurement and TTL arithmetic, which is timezone-independent by construction. The mined reviewer feedback behind this rule ("use Luxon for date arithmetic outside util") targets timezone-dependent date construction/formatting, which cannot occur with a raw millis number; the rule keeps flagging `new Date(...)`. prefer-fs-util exempts code that legitimately needs raw fs access because the scoped lib/util/fs helpers resolve against GlobalConfig localDir/cacheDir, which does not exist yet or does not apply there: - lib/logger/: log-file streams at user-configured system paths during bootstrap; lib/util/fs also depends on the logger (import cycle). - lib/workers/global/: creates baseDir/cacheDir themselves and reads/writes user-supplied paths before GlobalConfig is seeded. - lib/config-validator.ts: standalone CLI without GlobalConfig. - lib/util/git/: owns the localDir lifecycle (clone, emptyDir, symlinks) and private-key files with sync cleanup on process exit. Also fixes a pre-existing tsc error in prefer-fs-util.js: `importKind` is a TypeScript-ESTree extension missing from eslint's base AST types. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(fs): make rmCache ignore missing paths All rmCache callers use it for cleanup, where a missing path is a no-op, so bake force: true in instead of guarding call sites with an existence check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(linters): exempt lib/instrumentation from prefer-fs-util `lib/instrumentation/file-exporter.ts` landed on main while this branch was open and imports `node:fs/promises` directly. The exporter writes to a user-configured system path (`RENOVATE_TRACING_FILE_EXPORTER_PATH`) outside `localDir`/`cacheDir`, so the scoped helpers do not apply. `lib/instrumentation` is also deliberately kept out of the module graph of instrumented libraries (see the `⚠️` note in `lib/renovate.ts`), so it must not pull in `lib/util/fs` and its config/logger dependencies. Exempt the directory, as is already done for `lib/logger`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: shorten doc --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Datasources
Datasources are used in Renovate primarily to fetch released versions of packages.
Follow the class-based programming style
New datasources must follow the class-based programming style.
Use the java-version datasource as a reference.
Add the datasource to the API in api.ts so that the new datasource is usable.
If you find Unused HTTP mocks errors in the Vitest tests and your mocked URLs are correct, make sure the datasource is correctly registered.
getReleases
The minimum exported interface for a datasource is a function called getReleases that takes a lookup config as input.
The config has:
packageName: the package's full name including scope if present (e.g.@foo/bar)registryUrls: an array of registry URLs to try
getReleases should return an object having:
releases: an array of strings of matched versions. This is the only mandatory fielddeprecationMessage: a string description of the package's deprecation notice, if applicablesourceUrl: a HTTP URL pointing to the source code (for example on GitHub)homepage: a HTTP URL for the package's homepage. Ideally should be empty if the homepage andsourceUrlare the samechangelogUrl: a URL pointing to the package's changelog (could be a Markdown file, for example). If not present then Renovate will search thesourceUrlfor a changelog filetags: an object mapping tag → version, for exampletags: { latest: '3.0.0' }. This is only used by thefollowTagsfunction
getDigest
Datasources that support digests (like Docker digests and Git commit hashes) can export a getDigest function.
The getDigest function has two inputs:
config: the Renovate config for the package being updated, has the same fields asgetReleasesnewValue: the version or value to retrieve the digest for
The getDigest function returns a string output representing the digest value.
If no digest is found, the getDigest function should return null.
