Question: How to prevent upgrading Scala?

[candeemis]

Hi Scala-Steward team,

This may seem a silly question, but let me ask anyway. I got a situation where a dependency depends upon an old version of Scala. Hence upgrading Scala itself is not an option for me. I was trying to use updates.pin and updates.ignore to disable upgrading scalaVersion but to no luck. Is there a way I could configure a specific Scala version and ignore it from the upgrade PRs?

Scala Steward's PRs contain a update.ignore config in the Adjust future updates details that should prevent further updates of the dependency. See https://github.com/scala-steward-org/scala-steward/pull/3165 for example.

I'm wondering why this didn't work. What exactly did you add to update.ignore and what did Scala Steward did afterwards?
