where are you seeing this being expanded to a raw string?

Here’s a log with example

[versions]
kotlin = { strictly = "[1.6.0, 1.6.10, 1.6.20, 1.6.21[", prefer="1.6.21" }

[libraries]
kotlin-std-lib = { group = "org.jetbrains.kotlin", name = "kotlin-stdlib", version.ref = "kotlin" }

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'Venmo Platform'.

   > Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:[1.6.0, 1.6.10, 1.6.20, 1.6.21[.

AFAICT,

[1.6.0, 1.6.10, 1.6.20, 1.6.21[

is not a valid notation: a range can only give a lower and upper bound.

OH! Well that’s good to know, let me give that a shot 🙇

See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/single_versions.html for the syntax

if the intention is for 1.6.x:

[1.6.0,1.7[

(optionally with a preference for 1.6.21).

thank y’all so much, I figured I was messing something up 🙇
