chore(ci): drop misconfigured gitsubmodule Dependabot ecosystem#705
Merged
Conversation
dependabot.yml declared a gitsubmodule package-ecosystem, but the repository has no .gitmodules (dependencies are managed via vcpkg). Dependabot aborted every weekly run with "dependency_file_not_found: /.gitmodules". Remove the gitsubmodule block; the github-actions ecosystem update is unaffected.

What
Remove the
gitsubmodulepackage-ecosystemblock from.github/dependabot.yml.Change type: chore(ci) — Dependabot config.
Why
The
Dependabot Updatesrun fails every week withdependency_file_not_found: /.gitmodules. The repository has no git submodules(no
.gitmodules); dependencies are managed via vcpkg. Thegitsubmoduleecosystem is therefore misconfigured and produces a recurring false failure.
Where
.github/dependabot.yml— remove thegitsubmoduleupdate block. Thegithub-actionsecosystem block is kept and continues to work.How (verification)
Dependabot reads
dependabot.ymlfrom the default branch, so this takes effectonce it reaches
main. After that, thesubmodules in /.job no longer appearsand the recurring
dependency_file_not_foundfailure stops; thegithub-actionsupdates are unaffected.
