Automerge disabled in dashboard, but enabled in config

[WesleyHindle]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Gitlab v39.144

Please tell us more about your question or problem

I currently have the below Renovate config which is:

Finding updates to the terraform_version in *.tf files in one rules
Updates to terraform_version .gitlab-ci.yml file. The version of terraform being used in the ci file is called TERRAFORM_VERSION and has been tagged as below so Renovate picks it up

# renovate: datasource=docker depName=hashicorp/terraform packageName=hashicorp/terraform versioning=hashicorp
  TERRAFORM_VERSION: '1.4.0'

Then grouping them together in a group called Terraform version updates.

Automerging is enabled for minor, patch and digest updates, but in the dashboard I get Automerge: Disabled by config. Please merge this manually once you are satisfied.

In the logs I get DEBUG: mergeStatus=no automerge for the relevant branch.

Could someone help identify which other settings are needed to enable automerge for this group please?

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.
2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the minimal reproduction in your own repository.
5. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md.
6. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.

If you need help with running renovate on your minimal reproduction repository, please refer to our Running Renovate guide.
Good luck,

The Renovate team
