Sebastian Poxhofer 8f5f238b8f fix(datasource/crate): skip the web API of registries that do not implement it (#46329)
* fix(datasource/crate): only query the crates.io web API for crates.io

Private sparse registries such as Artifactory or CodeArtifact advertise an
`api` URL in their `config.json` for publishing, but do not implement the
crates.io-only read endpoints `api/v1/crates/<name>` and
`api/v1/crates/<name>/<version>`. Since #41536 Renovate called both for
every registry with an `api` field, producing 404s and a
"Release interceptor failed" warning on each run.

Restore the crates.io flavor guard for the crate metadata lookup and the
release timestamp lookup. Reading `config.json` from a cloned registry is
now unreachable, so drop that branch.

* docs(datasource/crate): cite the registry web API specification in the guards

* fix(datasource/crate): probe the registry web API once instead of guarding on flavor

Keep the crates.io read endpoints for registries that implement them.
Registries whose config.json points `api` at crates.io, such as index
mirrors, are used without probing. Any other registry is probed on the
first crate; a 404 for a crate that the index just returned means the
endpoint does not exist, so the registry is remembered as unsupported in
the memory cache and, for a day, in the package cache. The release
timestamp lookup handles a 404 the same way instead of surfacing the
generic "Release interceptor failed" warning.

Restores the cloned config.json branch, since cloned registries can now
advertise an API again.

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 field
  • deprecationMessage: a string description of the package's deprecation notice, if applicable
  • sourceUrl: 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 and sourceUrl are the same
  • changelogUrl: a URL pointing to the package's changelog (could be a Markdown file, for example). If not present then Renovate will search the sourceUrl for a changelog file
  • tags: an object mapping tag → version, for example tags: { latest: '3.0.0' }. This is only used by the followTags function

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 as getReleases
  • newValue: 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.
