Workflows update rejection - aborting branch.

[adamstrawson]

I'm trying to understand why this rejection is occurring, there isn't anything more logged besides this single line.

INFO: Workflows update rejection - aborting branch. (repository={org}/{repo} branch=renovate/actions-checkout-3.x)

We're seeing this across a number of repositories, all which the same renovate.json below:

renovate.json

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchUpdateTypes": [
        "minor",
        "patch",
        "pin",
        "digest"
      ],
      "automerge": true
    }
  ]
}

We're running self-hosted Renovate (on Kubernetes), version 34.55.0)

are you running against github or github enterprise? Then your renovate credentials are missing workflow permissions

That did the trick, thanks @viceice

Uninstalling renovate GitHub App and installing the recent version somehow solved the permission issue for me.
