What / Why

semver.intersects('>=16.0.0 <17.0.0', '^17.0.0-0') should be true, and is.

semver.intersects('>=16.0.0 <17.0.0', '^17.0.0-0', { includePrereleases: true }) should be false, and is not.

I made test cases:

but i can't figure out how to fix it.

Hm, I disagree with the stated intent here.

semver.intersects('>1.0.0 <2.0.0', '^2.0.0-0', {includePrerelease: false}) should be false. There is no version that satisfies both ranges, because 2.0.0-0 is not included by <2.0.0 if includePrerelease is not enabled.

semver.intersects('>1.0.0 <2.0.0', '^2.0.0-0', {includePrerelease: true}) should be true. 2.0.0-0 is included by both ranges in includePrerelease mode.

Ah ok, I can swap them - that makes sense to me, I just misunderstood our slack discussion. I just need it to be true with one of the options :-)

Updated.

Action Item:

• [ ] make semver.intersects('>1.0.0 <2.0.0', '^2.0.0-0', {includePrerelease: false}) === false
