and adjust dependabot config.

We do not use features from 2.22 branch and it would make more sense to migrate directly to jackson 3.

Walkthrough

The Maven Jackson version changed from 2.22.0 to 2.21.6. Dependabot now ignores Jackson dependencies at version 2.22 and newer. The changelog records the downgrade.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69f2f

The PR downgrades Jackson and changes Dependabot rules in a way that may suppress security updates requiring Jackson 2.22 or newer, potentially delaying security fixes. Merge should wait for the rule to be adjusted or this risk to be explicitly accepted.

GitHub Dependabot ignore versions security updates update-types ignore rules official documentation

💡 Result:

You can configure Dependabot ignore rules in your.github/dependabot.yml file using the ignore option. These rules allow you to exclude specific dependencies, versions, or types of updates from Dependabot pull requests [1][2]. Configuration Structure The ignore option is defined under each package-ecosystem entry within the updates section of your dependabot.yml file [2][3]. Supported ignore parameters include: dependency-name: Specifies the dependency to ignore. You can use a wildcard (*) to match multiple dependencies [2][3]. versions: Allows you to specify particular versions or ranges of versions to ignore [2][3]. update-types: Used to ignore specific semantic versioning (SemVer) levels [2]. Supported values are version-update:semver-patch, version-update:semver-minor, and version-update:semver-major [2]. Important Limitations It is critical to note that the update-types setting only applies to version updates; it does not affect security updates [1][2]. Security updates are intended to be processed regardless of your update-types configuration [1][2]. Alternative Methods In addition to the dependabot.yml file, you can also manage ignores directly via pull requests using comment commands [1][4]. By commenting @dependabot ignore on a Dependabot pull request, you can instruct Dependabot to ignore updates for specific dependencies or versions [1][4]. You can later use @dependabot unignore to remove these constraints [4]. For further granular control, the ignore option can be used in conjunction with the allow option to define exactly which dependencies to maintain [2]. If a dependency is matched by both an allow and an ignore rule, it will be ignored [2].

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com Dependabot ignore versions security updates "ignore" "security updates"

💡 Result:

You can manage Dependabot's behavior regarding security updates and version updates by using the ignore option in your dependabot.yml configuration file or by using @dependabot comment commands on pull requests [1][2]. Both methods allow you to ignore specific dependencies, specific versions, or specific update types (like major, minor, or patch) [3][1][2]. Configuration in dependabot.yml You can define an ignore block within the updates section for a package ecosystem in your dependabot.yml file [4][1]. This configuration applies to both version updates and security updates [1][2]. Example syntax: updates: - package-ecosystem: "npm" directory: "/" ignore: - dependency-name: "lodash" versions: ["< 4.17.0"] - dependency-name: "express" update-types: ["version-update:semver-major"] When using the ignore option, Dependabot first checks for all explicitly allowed dependencies and then filters out any that are ignored [3][5]. If a dependency is matched by both an allow and an ignore statement, it will be ignored [3][5]. Using Comment Commands Alternatively, you can manage ignore conditions directly on an open Dependabot pull request using @dependabot commands [1][2]. These commands are effective for quickly ignoring updates without modifying your configuration file [6]. Common commands include: - @dependabot ignore DEPENDENCY_NAME: Prevents future updates for the specified dependency [6]. - @dependabot ignore DEPENDENCY_NAME major version: Prevents updates to the major version [6]. - @dependabot unignore...: Clears existing ignore conditions [1][6]. Note on Security Updates: While ignore configurations apply to both version and security updates, Dependabot generally prioritizes security [2]. If you are specifically looking to disable all "version updates" while keeping "security updates," you can set open-pull-requests-limit: 0 for a specific package-ecosystem in your dependabot.yml file [4]. This ensures that Dependabot does not open pull requests for non-security version updates, effectively limiting activity to security-related patches [4].

Preserve Jackson security updates.

The ignore.versions rule excludes Jackson 2.22 and newer from both version and security updates. If routine minor and major upgrades must remain blocked, replace it with update-types; security updates will remain eligible.
