Create dependabot.yml
Part of component governance review
Thanks for surfacing this! To avoid PowerShell assembly dependency conflicts, we will need to investigate how this can be safely used with our assembly resolver.
Interesting. As it is currently, the automated use of dependabot would then trigger manual changes to the PowerShell Assembly Load Context every time a dependency is out of date, correct?
We can also consider using Component Governance task in AzDO.
That's right! It looks like we will need a post dependabot script to ensure dependencies are also updated in the PowerShell Assembly Load Context. I can look into this.
