packageRules regex is not represented during dependency resolution

[tramjn]

What would you like help with?

I think I found a bug

How are you running Renovate?

Mend Renovate hosted app on github.com

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

We are using regex for versioning in a custom package rule. This is what we see in the packageRules:
"versioning": "regex:^((?<major>\\d+)|lts)-alpine3\\.(?<minor>\\d+)(-(?<compatibility>.+))?$", but we are seeing a different regex during version resolution: "versioning": "regex:^(?<major>\\d+)-alpine3\\.(?<minor>\\d+)(-(?<compatibility>.+))?$"

      }
    ],

The version we are seeing this use for dependency resolution is an older version of the regex. Is there a way to get Renovate to use a recent version of the regex (the version from the packageRules)? The newer regex is showing up for some repos, but for other repos it still continues to use the old version despite re-running the Renovate scan.

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.
2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the minimal reproduction in your own repository.
5. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md.
6. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.

Good luck,

The Renovate team
