What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

I am enabling dependabot on the repository, using the same dependabot.yml file that works for us in other repositories. No PRs have been opened, and I see the following message in Insights, but the logs are empty.

Dependabot failed to update your dependencies because an unexpected error occurred. See the logs for more details. (But there aren't any)

I think I am experiencing similar issue. In my case, I am using the gomod environment.
And logs exist mentioning PR creation:

However, no PR is actually created. It was working fine till yesterday.
Dependabot configuration:

version: 2
updates:
- package-ecosystem: "gomod"
  directory: "/"
  schedule:
    interval: "daily"
    time: "09:00"
    timezone: "Asia/Kolkata"

  commit-message:

    include: "scope"
  labels:

This probably isn't the same issue, as I don't even get any logs (and I'm using Java/gradle).

I am wondering if possibly it could be related to the fact that I didn't have admin rights on the repo when I submitted the dependabot.yml file? I have wondered if I should try deleting it and recreating it, now that I am an admin.

Hi @cahrens can you update the target branch to point to an existing branch or create a develop branch? https://github.com/DataBiosphere/terra-resource-buffer/blob/master/.github/dependabot.yml#L17

[cahrens]

@Nishnha the file has already been checked in-- it's on the master branch. https://github.com/DataBiosphere/terra-resource-buffer/blob/master/.github/dependabot.yml

@Nishnha ooops, I now see what you mean! Yes, let me fix that.

Thanks, that was the issue! Unfortunately we are inconsistent about our main branch names across our repositories, and I didn't notice that. Thank you for the help!
