How to use spock versioning in dependabot

[huehnerlady]

Hi,

we are using dependabot to keep our dependencies up to date.
Unfortunately so far we didn't have any luck working with spock updates.

We are using groovy 3 so we were on version 2.1-groovy-3.0
estImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-core:2.1-groovy-3.0")

Dependabot however want to update to 2.3-groovy-4.0 instead of 2.3-groovy-3.0
After using @dependabot ignore this major version we disabled dependabot for 2.x.x instead of x.x-groovy-4.0

Are you using dependabot and maybe knows a trick on how to resolve our problem?

Personally, I use Renovate which has mechanisms to handle that. See the exact snippet to solve the aforementioned problem (and also it [Renovate] nicely support grouping (while with dependabot it is somehow more complicated).
