postUpgradeTasks for specific dependencies

[56KBs]

Is it possible to run a postUpgradeTask when specific dependencies are updated?

Use case:
Go 1.16 released, renovate raised MRs to update our Dockerfiles to use this release. Our CI system failed due to the go.sum file needing to be updated (Bugfixes in 1.16's release).

We'd like to be able to run go mod tidy when this Docker dependency is updated in future to avoid manually having to run go mod tidy for this kind of MRs

Post upgrade tasks can be configured with package rules, meaning you can configure them per-package. If you are grouping together dependencies and want to run commands per-update in a branch then you'd need to wait for #8725 to land

@56KBs postUpdateOptions should automatically run gomodTidy if you configure it. It's a renovate buildin feature.
