Hey. Since self-hosted renovate is using a docker container it is not exposed to the java and bazel I install as part of my GitHub workflow setup. I ended up passing the various environment variables and Is there a blessed pattern to achieve my goal? Thank you! |

You should probably not use the action and instead run the job inside the renovate image, like we do for config validation, see: https://github.com/renovatebot/.github/blob/main/.github/workflows/test.yml#L40-L62 Then you can prepare any tools you need before running renovate |

you can also use the custom entry point option from the action to do something before renovate. there's a sample workflow in this repo |

What are the benefits of using the CLI in this case? https://www.npmjs.com/package/renovate |

no benefit, it can't install the required tool versions on the fly. |
