New workflow_call workflow (.gitea/workflows/validate.yaml) that a consumer
repo can call to statically validate its renovate.json with
renovate-config-validator inside the official renovate/renovate image.
What it catches before Renovate runs (avoiding the dashboard-freeze class of
bug seen when an invalid config makes every extract fail):
- schema violations / unknown fields
- forbidden fields in customManagers (e.g. registryUrlsTemplate -
registryUrls is the only allowed form)
- malformed packageRules / matchStrings regexes
- bad extends / ignorePresets references
It does NOT run Renovate and does NOT touch dependencies - just parses the
config. Non-blocking when the caller has no renovate.json.
Usage in a repo (.gitea/workflows/renovate.yaml or a dedicated workflow):
jobs:
validate:
uses: perso/gitea-pipelines/.gitea/workflows/validate.yaml@main
