renovate provider updates fails due to version mismatch

[stefanhemeier]

We use renovate to update our crossplane providers. We run into the issue for some of the provider we use (e.g. provider-family-gcp) that there is a version mismatch and we can not pull the version renovate suggests. e.g. for provider-family-gcp the current release in github is v1.14.0 while in the registry (xpkg.crossplane.io and xpkg.upbound.io) and marketplace it is v1.14.1. For users that are using the not paid version this causes issues as only the latest version can be fetched. I wonder if this is intended and how have other solved this?

I see the latest for xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp to be v1.14.0. Are you having trouble accessing that provider version? e.g. docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.14.0

[stefanhemeier]

Yes correct, when I tried it and opened this discussion, docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.14.0 gave me an error and only docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.14.1 worked and docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.12.0 was working as well. As mentioned, we don't have a subscription.
When I try it now docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.14.0 works to download but docker pull xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-family-gcp:v1.14.1 does not work. So currently it is in line with the github version.
I guess that is as it should be, right?

[jbw976]

right, what you see now is what i'd expect. the latest release for https://github.com/crossplane-contrib/provider-upjet-gcp is v1.14.0, so a docker pull on that version should work. There is no v1.14.1 for that provider currently.

If you run into unexpected behavior again, feel free to share the error you are seeing! 🙇‍♂️

Thank you very much, will come back if it occurs again.
