Thanks @carlincherry! You can see the config here https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-gateway-fabric/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml and the PR with only one update https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-gateway-fabric/pull/1921

This also happens in Terraform and Docker

This is my dependabot configuration: https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/blob/77b2dfdaedc602904b208d91127b7a4d9ed66be7/.github/dependabot.yml#L9-L23.

A good example of it failing is that it created two PRs for the same dependency:

• https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/pull/41
• https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/pull/40

In other instances, it created a single PR updating the dependency in a single location, rather than everywhere it is referenced:

https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/pull/38

tests/go.mod
69:     github.com/gorilla/websocket v1.4.2 // indirect

server/go.mod
56:     github.com/gorilla/websocket v1.4.2 // indirect

go.mod
59:     github.com/gorilla/websocket v1.4.2 // indirect

Now, it seems like dependabot stopped working with the configuration I provided. We're still getting dependabot PRs with the old configuration at etcd-io/etcd. But my fork (ivanvc/etcd), which has the new configuration, hasn't received any go-related version PR bumps.

The configuration seems to be valid as of https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/commit/ad4baf002577477723f5292be5109802c30fc613: https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/runs/24565853947. But there are no new PR in the last week: https://github.com/ivanvc/etcd/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+author%3Aapp%2Fdependabot+label%3Ago
