Research direction

Start by comparing package.json and package-lock.json in a Dependabot PR, then inspect the repository’s Dependabot and CI configuration to trace how dependency updates are generated and validated. Done means updates to dependencies in package.json are reflected in package-lock.json and CI runs with the updated dependency, while lockfile-only updates remain correct.

Description

bug

Currently, there is an issue in PRs opened by dependabot

  • when a dependency is updated in package.json, the change is not reflected in the package-lock.json - merging such PRs may be dangerous as the CI is not actually running with the updated version of the dependency
  • PRs updating only dependencies listed in the package-lock.json file look correct
