I'm using mvn versions:update-properties -DexcludesList=org.scalatest:scalatest*
to exclude update of property scalatest.version
inside pom.xml:
<properties>
<scalatest.version>3.0.5</scalatest.version>
</properties>
But after running the command scalatest.version
is updated to 3.3.0-SNAP2
version which is the latest.
How to use -DexcludesList
argument correctly? I followed the docs
The only workaround i found is excluding SNAP2
versions in rules.xml
like below:
<ruleset xmlns="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" comparisonMethod="maven" xsi:schemaLocation="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0 http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/xsd/rule-2.0.0.xsd">
<ignoreVersions>
<ignoreVersion type="regex">9.*</ignoreVersion>
<ignoreVersion type="regex">6.1.*</ignoreVersion>
<ignoreVersion type="regex">.*SNAP.*</ignoreVersion>
</ignoreVersions>
<rules>
</rules>
</ruleset>
And running mvn versions:update-properties -Dmaven.version.rules=file:////tmp/rules.xml -DexcludesList=org.scalatest:scalatest*
This way scalatest
is updated to 3.2.2
. I'd like to ignore update of scalatest
version completely.
Tried different variations: -DexcludesList=org.scalatest:scalatest:*
, -DexcludesList=org.scalatest:scalatest:*:*:*
to no avail.
Using version 2.1 of versions-maven-plugin
, updated to latest 2.8.1
and still scalatest
was updated.
The solution was to use -DexcludeProperties=scalatest.version
argument.
mvn versions:update-properties -DexcludeProperties=scalatest.version
achieved what i needed.
