If I'm reading the documentation right, this path is relative to what we defined for "directory" above. So I'm not sure this will work.
Patterns are relative to the directory specified for the update configuration.

Good catch, I didn't spot that in the docs. In that case, this will not work at all and we'll have to update the configurations in the repo settings.

The second
gomodconfiguration we had independabot.ymlwas intended to exclude all test dependencies, but never really worked because the Dependabot PRs we got for them were security updates that have to be disabled in the repository settings for the test directories instead.We are still occasionally seeing nuisance PRs from Dependabot for dependencies of test projects, so this PR changes the Dependabot configuration in the repo to use the
exclude-pathsto see if that helps. If not, we'll likely need to make some more adjustments in the repo settings.
