I'm running renovate locally from a container

✗ ls -la | grep git/
drwxr-xr-x  14 user staff    448 Aug 17 11:57 .git/
✗ git config --get remote.origin.url
git@github.com:org/repo.git
✗ export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh config get -h github.com oauth_token)
✗ docker run --rm -ti \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
  -e GITHUB_COM_TOKEN="$GITHUB_TOKEN" \
  -v /tmp:/tmp \
  -v $(PWD):/usr/src/app \
  docker.io/renovate/renovate:full renovate --platform=local | tee renovate-my-token.log

(I also tried adding -e RENVOATE_PARENT_ORG="org")

Using config containing a depNameTemplate of "{{parentOrg}}/{{depName}}".

  "customManagers": [
    {
      "_": "// ...",
      "depNameTemplate": "{{parentOrg}}/{{depName}}"
    }
  ],

How come parentOrg returns an empty value?

Is there a way to fill it with an environment variable?

The limitation isn't shown in these docs

• https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/platform/local/
• https://docs.renovatebot.com/templates/

Logs (if relevant)

The result is the following in the logs

The logs do not show any output related to an empty parentOrg other than showing the matched dependency without the org in the packageName

             "deps": [
               {
                 "depName": "/mypackage",
                 "_": "// ...",
                 "packageName": "/mypackage"
               }
             ],

Seems like parentOrg was empty when I used it in renovate.

There are other inputs too. Unsure of the differences.

• parentOrg
• sourceRepoOrg
• topLevelOrg

From the docs: https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#depnametemplate

It will be compiled using Handlebars and the regex groups result.

You can only use the named groups which are present in the regex of matchStrings. The values from config aren't used here.

Oh I see.

Then I am left with hard coding the org in the config which is unfortunate because I have multiple orgs to administer the renovate configurations.

Unless is there an alternative solution?

If not, may this be a feature request?

Thank you!
