Repo: Either file an issue when integration tests fail on main, or pin and auto-update its dependencies #8603

Suggestion

#8602 (integration tests failing on the main branch) happened because integration tests install the latest version of upstream dependencies. The benefit of using latest versions is that we see failures as soon as possible. But the downside is that main can have failing tests unexpectedly.

I think we want to make sure the main branch is broken as little as possible. A couple strategies come to mind:

  • Having the integration tests file a new issue when a new failure is detected: so we get notified via an issue of failures on main
  • Using pinned dependencies for the integration tests, and use Renovate/similar to auto-update them: so failures don't seep into main

I'd prefer the latter, so that main doesn't break. Thoughts?
