Ranges/Constraints¶

✅ Ranges are supported.

Valid rangeStrategy values are: bump, replace

Description¶

This versioning is used exclusively for the go directive in go.mod files.

It ensures that a value like 1.16 is treated like ^1.16 and not ~1.16.

By default this will mean that the go directive in go.mod files won't get upgraded to any new Go version, such as 1.19. If you wish to upgrade this value every time there's a new minor Go release, configure rangeStrategy to be "bump" like so:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchDatasources": ["golang-version"],
      "rangeStrategy": "bump"
    }
  ]
}
