I have dependabot integrated into a github repo that I control. I've noticed that dependabot is no longer opening PRs for outdated dependencies, such as rubocop and rubocop-rspec.
I have an open ticket in the dependabot-core repo that describes the issue in more detail, including a log from an update attempt. However, the developers seem to have abandoned the ticket.
Could someone help me identify and resolve the issue with dependabot upgrades?
The issue is that rubocop v1.30.0 bumped the minimum required ruby version to 2.6.
The gemspec in the repo specified the required_ruby_version as >= 2.5.0, which dependabot seems to consider to be incompatible with the rubocop requirement. (I think this is overly strict, as rubocop still supports a a TargetRubyVersion of 2.5.)
Nonetheless, bumping the required_ruby_version to >= 2.6.0 has unblocked the dependabot upgrades.
