This project uses gradle and demonstrates that the repositories block in build.gradle with a custom repo specified is being ignored by Renovate.
When I build, here is the output, showing that gradle is looking for my custom (fake) repository:
$ ./gradlew build

When Renovate runs however, it ignores the repository setting and looks only at Maven Central and the Gradle Plugin repos respectively. Here are the relevant logs from Renovate's run of this project (self-hosted docker, repo in bitbucket).
