DEBUG: Using RE2 regex engine
DEBUG: Parsing configs
FATAL: Custom config file specified in RENOVATE_CONFIG_FILE must exist
"configFile": "gitlab>ORG_NAME/security-program/renovate-bot/default.json"

seems to have an issue when referencing that in my yml file. Running on gitlab ci/cd runner.

It needs to be a file in the file system and not a preset

sorry can you please elaborate on this? I've changed and it still failed.

The file must exist on the file system where you run Renovate, not on a remote system like a git repo

so if i run my renovate on security-program/juice-shop/.gitlab-ci.yml
I will need to move the default.json to security-program/juice-shop/ ?

[DesNotMe]

but then how do I reference it tho? Because I got this issue when running, I have a renovate.json created that I want to replace the default renovate.json.
