Fix renovate CI

[eternal-flame-AD]

Forgot GitHub does not set committer information automatically...

I can't find out why renovate is not able to create the branch and I need to manually push the branch and it seems to go through (permissions?). I only see this in the log: It all looks correct, the labels are created, everything looks normal in the onboarding PR ... I only found this newline maybe issue that may or may not be related.

Error updating branch: update failure

How about removing the newline from matchstrings like this.

      "matchStrings": [
        "^(?<currentValue>[0-9.]+)"
      ],

then the renovate stuff maybe works independent of the linebreak.

I think all three will match every possible combination without the newline if I understand correctly.

Actually maybe not , I was just being cautious as I was reading some other configs that wrote it this way ..

It doesn't seem that way. I've ran this locally with the current mr it's

                 "replaceString": "1.22.4\n",

with the adjusted

                 "replaceString": "1.22.4",

So I guess currently it tries to replace with newline.

How did you get it running locally ... I tried every combination I can think of I always get this error. The CLI interface documentation is just ...

npx renovate --token $GITHUB_TOKEN --dry-run 1 --platform github gotify/build # and variations

docker run -it -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -e RENOVATE_TOKEN=GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN -v $PWD:/usr/src/app --rm renovate/renovate renovate --platform=local

I've used this, and $PWD is a locally checked out gotify/build repo.
