chore(renovate): adopt shared config and re-enable the test step - #7
Conversation
Add a renovate.json extending the org-wide preset in EduIDE/.github so this repo only carries what is specific to it: pnpmDedupe, since we are on pnpm. Drop .whitesource, left over from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial. The test step in build.yml was commented out with "Tests are not implemented yet", which was not true - src/test/extension.test.ts exists and runs. Wire it back in. vscode-test launches a real VS Code instance, so it needs a display on Linux and runs under xvfb-run. No continue-on-error: a step that cannot fail is not a gate. Re-enabling it surfaced that the test build emitted nothing at all. The main tsconfig.json sets noEmit, and a --outDir on the command line does not override that, so `tsc -p . --outDir out` exited 0 having written no files and .vscode-test.mjs matched zero tests. Compile tests with a dedicated tsconfig.test.json instead, which turns emit on and produces CommonJS with relative .ts imports rewritten to .js.

GitHub actions/checkout v4 persist-credentials default token local git config documentation GITHUB_TOKEN permissions unspecified workflow default
💡 Result:
In the GitHub Actions actions/checkout@v4 action, the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2]. When enabled, this setting configures the local Git repository's configuration (.git/config) to include an authentication token [3][4]. This allows subsequent Git commands executed within the same workflow job to run as an authenticated user [3][5]. The token used is the GITHUB_TOKEN by default (unless an alternative token or SSH key is provided via the token or ssh-key inputs) [5][6]. The action automatically removes this credential during the post-job cleanup phase [3][5]. Regarding permissions and usage: 1. GITHUB_TOKEN Permissions: The default GITHUB_TOKEN provided by GitHub Actions has read-only permissions for the repository contents by default [7]. If a workflow step requires performing authenticated Git operations that involve writing (e.g., git push), you must explicitly grant the contents: write permission in your workflow YAML [7]. 2. Security Consideration: Because persist-credentials is true by default, the GITHUB_TOKEN is stored in the local .git/config file [4][8]. If a workflow step inadvertently uploads the entire workspace as an artifact (e.g., using actions/upload-artifact with path: .), the configuration file containing the token may be exposed in the artifact [8]. To prevent this, you can set persist-credentials: false in your checkout step if your subsequent workflow steps do not require Git authentication [3][8]. 3. Troubleshooting: If you encounter "403" errors during Git operations, it is frequently because the GITHUB_TOKEN lacks the necessary write permissions for the specific operation or persist-credentials has been disabled, preventing the subsequent step from using the necessary credentials [7].

Restrict the workflow token before running repository-controlled code.
actions/checkout@v4 persists GITHUB_TOKEN in the local Git configuration. Because this workflow declares no permissions, the token can inherit write access from repository or organization settings. Add contents: read at workflow or job scope.

What and why
Three things, all CI/tooling:
renovate.jsonextending the org-wide preset inEduIDE/.github(local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config, added in chore(renovate): add org-wide shared Renovate config .github#4 - not merged yet, so Renovate will error on the extend until it lands; that is expected and resolves itself on merge). The only repo-local setting ispnpmDedupe, since this repo uses pnpm..whitesource, left over from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial..github/workflows/build.yml. It was commented out with# Tests are not implemented yet, which was not true -src/test/extension.test.tsexists. The step now runs for real, underxvfb-runbecausevscode-testlaunches an actual VS Code instance and needs a display on Linux. Nocontinue-on-error: a step that cannot fail is not a gate.Item 3 turned out to need one more fix.
pretestrunscompile-tests, which wastsc -p . --outDir out- buttsconfig.jsonsets"noEmit": true, and a command-line--outDirdoes not override that. Socompile-testsexited 0 having written nothing,out/never existed, and.vscode-test.mjs(out/test/**/*.test.js) matched zero test files. Re-enabling the step without fixing this would have given us a green check that tested nothing.This PR adds

Ran locally:
npx --yes --package renovate@44.46.7 -- renovate-config-validator --strict renovate.json-Config validated successfully against 1 file(s).actionlintonbuild.yml- clean, exit 0. (It does flag SC2086 inpackage.ymlandrelease.yml; both are pre-existing and untouched here.)pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm run preteston pnpm 10, matching CI - passes, andout/test/extension.test.jsis now actually produced. Before this PR it was not.vscodemodule:1 passing. This checks the emit is loadable CommonJS and the glob matches.What I could not check locally: the real
vscode-testlaunch.@vscode/test-electron2.5.2 resolves the macOS binary atVisual Studio Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron, but VS Code 1.135 ships it asCode, so the launch dies withENOENTon my machine. That path is macOS-only - on Linux the resolver uses<dir>/code, which is still correct.CI has since confirmed it. The
Build & Testrun on this PR downloaded VS Code 1.135.0 for linux-x64, launched it under xvfb, and reported:So the step genuinely runs the suite inside a real extension host rather than passing vacuously. All other checks on the PR are green too.
One note on scope: the test currently on
mainis still the scaffolded sample (assert.strictEqual(-1, [1, 2, 3].indexOf(5))). The substantial suite that exercisesDataService/DataStorage/SecretStoragePersistenceagainst an in-memorySecretStoragelives onfeat/env-var-passthroughand is not part of this PR. This PR builds the gate; that branch is what will make the gate worth having. I compiled that branch's test file against the newtsconfig.test.jsonas a check - the only errors weregetEnvStatemissing, i.e. its source changes not being onmain, with no module-resolution or emit problems.Deployment impact
local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config.Risk and rollback
Low. The one real risk was CI going red on the newly enabled test step; it is green, and it blocks only this repo's PR checks, nothing user-facing. The residual risk is that VS Code fails to boot on some future runner image, which would show up as a red
Build & Test.Rollback: revert the commit. To keep Renovate but drop the gate, delete the
Teststep frombuild.ymlon its own -tsconfig.test.jsonis harmless either way.There is also a stale
