How can I make dependabot put all updates into one pull request?

[RealTriassic]

Hello, I am trying to get dependabot to just open one pull request for all npm package updates every Monday, instead of opening a pull request for each dependency, which results in many pull requests being opened at once. I currently have this as my dependabot configuration and I was hoping it'd do the trick, but unfortunately woke up today to a lot of pull requests opened.

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
      day: "monday"
    groups:
      dev-dependencies:
        patterns: 
          - "*"
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
      day: "monday"

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

@RealTriassic did Dependabot open all individual PRs or did it open any PRs with the title "Bump the dev-dependencies group with N updates"? You can also see Dependabot logs by going to Insights > Dependency Graph > Dependabot and click "Recent update jobs" next to the relevant package manifest.

Unfortunately, it's a private repository so I don't think that'd be of any use

Yeah, I don't need to access the repository, but on the Dependabot team we have backend tooling where I can pull the state of your configuration file. Sometimes changes don't sync properly.

Oh, I see, that's pretty neat. In that case it's StupidCraft/Website

@RealTriassic we might have found/fixed the problem, can you try triggering a job manually and see if it groups now? You can trigger manually by going to Insights > Dependency Graph > Dependabot > Recent Update Jobs > Check for Updates

Seems to have been fixed! Thank you very much ❤️
