Semver not updating to the latest version

[Ritvik-rc]

I am using flux v2. I have an image policy as follows:

---

apiVersion: image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: ImagePolicy
metadata:
name: my-app
namespace: flux2-system
spec:
imageRepositoryRef:
name: my-app
policy:
semver:
range: '*'

The latest version in my image repo is 0.7.119 but flux is taking the latest version as 0.7.118.

The image policy logs show:
image-reflector-controller Latest image tag for 'xxx.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/test-notification' resolved to: 0.7.118

I am not able to figure out what I am missing. Any pointers or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I found out that the repo had a pre release version (0.7.118-bugfix) in the semantic versioning. I am guessing all the versions after the pre release version (which had alphabets) are not taken into consideration. I tried pushing some more versions after the pre release version but the latest image tag was not resolved to any of the newer versions.

If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, please help.
Thanks

To take prereleases into account, you need to add -0 to your SemVer selector: /~https://github.com/Masterminds/semver#working-with-prerelease-versions

Thanks a lot @hiddeco. It worked like a charm🙂

Thanks @hiddeco. I am closing it now

Can you please let me know how would I ask flux helmrelease to listen for all release candidates between version 6.x.x and 7.x.x?

I use ">=6.0.0 <7.0.0" to filter the main releases. Should I modify it as ">=6.0.0-0 <7.0.0-0" to listen only for pre-releases?

(asking this since https://go.dev/play/p/dBwAUX7oz0X didn't work)

Filtering is only support for Hem OCI:

---
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
kind: OCIRepository
metadata:
  name: app-chart
  namespace: default
spec:
  interval: 10m
  url: oci://ghcr.io/org/charts/app
  ref:
    semver: ">=6.0.0-0 <7.0.0-0"
    semverFilter: ".*-rc.*" # this only includes RCs
---
apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: app
  namespace: default
spec:
  interval: 10m
  releaseName: app
  chartRef:
    kind: OCIRepository
    name: app-chart
