Since about three weeks ago, the homebrew-core repository started requiring its PR template to be submitted with every PR body. The bump-homebrew-formula-action automation does not send the PR template, thus the PRs it creates will be auto-closed by homebrew-core.

This quits using bump-homebrew-formula-action in favor of Homebrew's autobump mechanism. https://docs.brew.sh/Autobump

Keeping the thread here for the upstream (homebrew) conversation. Homebrew/homebrew-core#293038 (comment)

I think if homebrew is open to adding an exception for bump-homebrew-formula-action, it could be worthwhile to keep the automation. My vote is dependent upon that decision.

Agreed; if they add an exception specifically for us that simplifies things greatly. However, I wouldn't hold my breath, since that would set a precedent for 3rd-party tools to be exempt from parts of Homebrew's own triage process, and I don't actually expect Homebrew to grant us that. (I probably wouldn't grant it in their place either.)

Sorry for pain here folks, taking a look.

Homebrew/.github#454 should help here (it'll get synced to other repos after). The motivation for these checks is just the deluge of AI spam PRs we receive.

Should be fixed now. If you still continue to see this: feel free to @ me directly and I'll fix it ASAP.

Thanks for keeping Ruby tooling alive folks, love you all ❤️
