renovate-matchUpdateTypes-separateMultipleMinor

Reproduction for using Renovate's matchUpdateTypes & separateMultipleMinor for the same package.

Problem

In our org, we group all minor & patch updates (preset group:allNonMajor). However, we want to separate any minor TypeScript updates, because they may contain breaking changes and many tools restrict the supported minor versions.

Additionally, we want to use the option separateMultipleMinor to be able to perform version jumps one-by-one.

Unfortunately, Renovate doesn't allow using matchUpdateTypes & separateMultipleMinor in the same package rule because of https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/8d78ca2ec8413739ac5c9247393ef8a147bfbd80/lib/config/validation.ts#L490.

Workaround

While it's not possible to use matchUpdateTypes & separateMultipleMinor in the same package rule, you can write two package rules as a workaround.

Not Allowed

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "typescript",
      "matchPackageNames": ["typescript"],
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["major", "minor"],
      "separateMultipleMinor": true
    }
  ]
}

Allowed

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "groupName": "typescript",
      "matchPackageNames": ["typescript"],
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["major", "minor"]
    },
    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["typescript"],
      "separateMultipleMinor": true
    }
  ]
}
