Struggling with extractVersion

[gregoryduckworth]

HI,

I've been banging my head against a wall trying to parse the versioning coming from github-tags for nginx. They contain release- at the start however I am only after the major and minor version.

For some reason I cannot get the versioning to work for it. I've created a basic repository (https://github.com/gregoryduckworth/renovate-nginx) which shows the current state I am in. It has created a PR (https://github.com/gregoryduckworth/renovate-nginx/pull/1) but release- hasn't been stripped out with the extractVersion.

Am I missing something obvious or have I done something stupid?

One problem is that you need to remove updateTypes from your package rule:

  "packageRules": [
    {
      "packageNames": ["nginx"],
      "extractVersion": "^release-(?<version>\\d+.\\d+)"
    }
  ],

Thanks @rarkins, that has got me a lot closer!

Now the only issue I have now is the return value, which comes back with the debug:

"updates": [
                   {
                     "fromVersion": "1.16",
                     "toVersion": "1.19",
                     "newValue": "1.19",
                     "newMajor": 1,
                     "newMinor": 0,
                     "updateType": "patch",
                     "isSingleVersion": true
                   }
                 ],

Switch from your regex versioning to plain "docker" and it should work. But make sure you're running the very latest Renovate version as I fixed a bug you'll need after that.

Perfect @rarkins that solved it!
