Renovate: repository-changed error

Have you checked the logs? Don't forget to include them if relevant

INFO: Repository started
{
  "renovateVersion": "19.167.0"
}
INFO: Repository has changed during renovation - aborting
INFO: Repository finished

What would you like to do?

I'm seeing all the recent jobs in a repository showing this output. I am noticing that the master issue in that repository is out of date and doesn't match the PRs that are open, for instance, but I'm not sure if it's related. The log output suggests that Renovate is not completing successfully.

What do the DEBUG messages say prior to the "Repository has changed"?

Master issue being out of date is to be expected as normally this is meant to be a transient error and we don't want Renovate to update the issue with temporarily incorrect information. However in this case clearly something else is going wrong.

Ok I see what's happening here, the GitHub API is returning an error. See below.

Note that these are errors but logged as DEBUG messages, which doesn't really help troubleshooting. This log is from a few minutes ago.

If you want to know what's going on, look at INFO. If you want to know what's going wrong, look at DEBUG.

[rarkins]

Looks like we're not sending the state field in the POST body.

Patch in progress

[rarkins]

I'll let you know once the release is live in the app, so you can confirm the fix. I was able to reproduce and verify locally though.

[simoneb]

Awesome, thanks. Once it is, is there any action I need to do on the repo(s), which are affected?

[rarkins]

I would expect they'd "just work" the next time they are checked
