# Autobump
|
||||
|
||||
[BrewTestBot](BrewTestBot.md) automatically checks for available updates of packages in autobump list. It means that some formulae and casks in official repositories do not have to be bumped manually by a contributor. Instead, every 3 hours, a GitHub Action ensures and a new pull request is opened if Homebrew does not provide the latest version of a formula/cask.

[BrewTestBot](BrewTestBot.md) automatically checks for available updates of packages that are in Homebrew's "autobump list" for official repositories. These packages should not have to be bumped (i.e versions increased) manually by a contributor. Instead, every 3 hours a GitHub Action opens a new pull request to upgrade to the latest version of a formula/cask, if needed.

By default, all new formulae and casks from [Homebrew/core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core) and [Homebrew/cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask) repositories are added to the list. To exclude a package from the list, it should satisfy one of the following:

By default, all new formulae and casks from [Homebrew/core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core) and [Homebrew/cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask) repositories are autobumped. To exclude a package from being autobumped, it must:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The package is deprecated or disabled.
|
||||
2. The The Livecheck block has a `skip` method.
|
||||
3. It has a `no_autobump!` method/stanza.
|

1. have a `deprecate!` or `disable!` call
|

2. have a `livecheck do` block containing a `skip` call
|

3. has no `no_autobump!` call

There are maybe other formula-specific or cask-specific reasons that are not listed here. Please, refer to the respective documentation to learn more about it.
|
||||
There are other formula or cask-specific reasons listed in the Formula Cookbook and Cask Cookbook respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the `no_autobump!`, a reason for exclusion **must** be provided. The preferred way to set the reason is to use one of the available supported symbols. The list of these symbols can be found in the [`NO_AUTOBUMP_REASONS_LIST`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/top-level-namespace.html#NO_AUTOBUMP_REASONS_LIST-constant) constants:
|
||||
|
||||
* `:incompatible_version_format`: This reason is used when the `brew bump` command cannot determine a version for the URL or update it. For example, if a tarball with the source code has a complex URL like `https://example.com/download/<major-version>/<minor-version>/foo-<full-version>-<git-commit>.tar.gz`, Homebrew wouldn't be able to replace the old URL with the new one automatically.
|
||||
* `:bumped_by_upstream`: Some developers whose programs are available in Homebrew want to take care of the updates themselves or even set up a CI action that does this. This `no_autobump!` reason exists for such cases.
|
||||
* `:requires_manual_review`: This is a temporary reason and expected to be deprecated in the future. It indicates that this package was not in the `autobump.txt` file before the new autobump list was introduced.
|
||||
|
||||
Some `no_autobump!` reasons also appear in the list but should not be used directly:
|
||||
|
||||
* `:extract_plist`: This reason is set if `livecheck` uses the `:extract_plist` strategy.
|
||||
* `:latest_version`: This reason is set if `version` is set to `:latest`.
|
||||
To use `no_autobump!`, a reason for exclusion must be provided. We prefer use of one of the supported symbols. These can be found in the [`NO_AUTOBUMP_REASONS_LIST`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/top-level-namespace.html#NO_AUTOBUMP_REASONS_LIST-constant).
