The removal of individual schedule configurations from each package ecosystem combined with the use of multi-ecosystem-group: 'all' may not work as intended. Each package ecosystem entry in Dependabot typically requires its own schedule configuration. Without individual schedules, Dependabot may not know when to check for updates for these ecosystems.

If the goal is to group updates together to reduce the number of PRs, consider using the groups feature properly (with schedules still defined per ecosystem) or explore other Dependabot configuration options like open-pull-requests-limit.

This issue also appears on line 2 of the same file.

See below for a potential fix:

    multi-ecosystem-group: 'all'
    schedule:
      interval: 'weekly'
  - package-ecosystem: 'devcontainers'
    directory: '/'
    multi-ecosystem-group: 'all'
    schedule:
      interval: 'weekly'
  # Node.js dependencies
  - package-ecosystem: 'npm'
    directory: '/nodejs'
    multi-ecosystem-group: 'all'
    schedule:
      interval: 'weekly'
  - package-ecosystem: 'npm'
    directory: '/test/harness'
    multi-ecosystem-group: 'all'

I got this config format from docs: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-chain-security/dependabot-options-reference#multi-ecosystem-groups
