[platform/azure] - Allow renovate bot to bypass Azure PR branch policy

[marcmognol]

Tell us more.

Dear renovate team,

In our Azure repositories we set some branch policies for our PR to add at least 2 reviewers approvals.
We can give Renovate Bot user the permission to bypass policies:

But, to complete the PR, it is required to specifiy the following attributes when completing the PR:

• bypassPolicy to true
• bypassReason with some valid reason

Do you think this is something valuable to add in renovate bot?

Thanks for your help

Marc

Won't this also bypass policies like "all tests must pass"?

[marcmognol]

You're right, using bypass policy option doesn't care about build status which in fact is not a good solution for us.
Is there any other way to achieve autoComplete in azure?

[rarkins]

Does https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#autoapprove help?

[marcmognol]

No, autoApprove works perfect renovate approves but as my policy requires at least 2 reviewers, one reviewer is missing.

[viceice]

then you probably need a second account and approve with that automatically if it's a renovate pr. something similar like the auto approve bot for GitHub

Hi @viceice

Yes, I can combine a webhook and an Azure function to bypass policy when:

• pr is a renovate branch (author + branch name)
• all build status passed

Thanks
