Is it possible to exclude versions of a dependency based on it's suffix? We have a library where we are trying to avoid anything that ends in preview . Right now I can exclude one at a time with the following. However, I was hoping that there is a way to do something that will work for all versions that end in

preview

.

dependencies {
    jdbcDriver 'com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc:latest.integration'
...
    constraints {
            jdbcDriver('com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc') {
                version { 
                    reject '12.9.0.jre+' // or '12.9.0.jre11-preview'
                }
            }
...
}

I put in

configurations {
...
	jdbcDriver.resolutionStrategy = {
		componentSelection { rules ->
			rules.all { ComponentSelection selection ->
				if (selection.candidate.version ==~ /.*preview*/) {
					selection.reject('preview version')
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

However, that generates this error. Not sure how to resolve this.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'test'.
> Cannot set the value of read-only property 'resolutionStrategy' for configuration ':jdbcDriver' of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultUnlockedConfiguration.

resolutionStrategy {

not

resolutionStrategy = {

d'oh! Good catch.🫠
