The pull request body is empty when any of the metadata retrieval steps fails

[yeikel]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Package ecosystem

maven

I am expecting it to impact all the ecosystems

dependabot.yml content

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "maven"
    directory: "/"
    target-branch: "main"
    groups:
      all:
        patterns: "*"

Updated dependency

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.0</version>
            </plugin>

What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Expected: Even if there is no github.com connectivity, the body should contain some basic information such as the dependencies updated

Actual: The body is empty

Smallest manifest that reproduces the issue

1. Block github.com Connectivity on a private runner connecting to GitHub Enterprise (or any other non-github.com source)
2. Update a public dependency that needs to fetch release notes from GitHub

@v-HaripriyaC I noticed that this was assigned to you but I understand that capacity may be limited which means it may take a while

As this is blocking me, if you agree, I can send a pull request we can both collaborate on/you can share your review on when capacity permits. My goal will be to have a PR as ready as possible to be merged

I have a general idea of what fixing this needs. Namely, I think that metadata_cascades_for_dep should become optional when it fails so that pr_message is still generated regardless. I can share more details on the pull request if you agree on delegating this to me.

Thanks!
