Regexify method doesn't recognise "^" and "$" chars in datafaker before 2.2.0. about datafaker HOT 7 CLOSED

@maxtar It's a bit beyond the scope of this issue, but Java 11 LTS has only but only extended support available, and has been superseded by Java 17 LTS and Java 21, which is also LTS.

Either way, still happy to make a 1.x release when it's fixed.

Yes to what @snuyanzin said. We don't really support 1.x anymore, nor do we support such old versions of Java, but if you're willing to make a PR for this, I'm happy to release a new 1.x version. But it's recommended to upgrade.

You could just concatenate the pre/post-fix after generating the regexified value.

I did it. But remove prefix and sufffix before calling regexify.

This is not a datafaker issue, it is the issue of underlying library https://github.com/mifmif/Generex which was used before 2.2.0

Starting 2.2.0 we use another library https://github.com/curious-odd-man/RgxGen
and it doesn't have this problem
So either bump your dependency or contribute a PR to have similar support in 1.x

I've got it. But Java 11 is LTS. And we counldn't upgrade to new version now.
I will think about PR thank you.

Hi @maxtar , we're aware of this issue, and as said before, happy to accept PRs, even on the 1.x branch, but for now I'll close the issue to clean things up a little.
