semver < doesn't seem to work correctly #287
Description
trying to exclude a test for a specific version of jenkins.io; this should work:
- run: jenkins-lts --version | grep {{version}}
if: '<2.426.3 || >2.426.3'but doesn't. indeed, even this doesn't work:
- run: jenkins-lts --version | grep {{version}}
if: '<2.426.3 || >2.426.4'but this does:
- run: jenkins-lts --version | grep {{version}}
if: '<2.426.3 || >=2.426.4'so, there's something up with the handling of the > operator.

we don’t support

1.2.3.1and it's your own fault. What you think?jhheider commentedon Jan 24, 2024
well, i personally think its the latter. i don't consider
1.2.3.1 > 1.2.3ambiguous (since "1.2.4 and above" is expressly>=1.2.4), but i agree it'll catch someone by surprise.i suppose the other option would be to get
fancyand support something like:that's what github would do.
edited to add: i was using
>specifically because i wasn't in a>=2.426.4situation trying to exclude a single version. perhaps a negation operation would have been simpler, but yuck.
