Adding the Dependency Check Function Still compares to alpha, beta or rc

[grndvl1]

I added the isNonStable code to the top level build DSL file and still when I run dependencyUpdates the report still compares to an alpha, beta or rc version which is what I don't want. How to fix this?

fun String.isNonStable(): Boolean {
    val stableKeyword = listOf("alpha", "beta", "rc").any { toLowerCase().contains(it) }
    val regex = "^[0-9,.v-]+(-r)?$".toRegex()
    val isStable = stableKeyword || regex.matches(this)
    return isStable.not()
}

tasks.withType<DependencyUpdatesTask> {
    rejectVersionIf {
        candidate.version.isNonStable()
    }
    checkForGradleUpdate = true
    outputFormatter = "txt"
    outputDir = "build/dependencyUpdates"
    reportfileName = "report"
}

example output

The following dependencies have later milestone versions:
 - androidx.activity:activity-compose [1.3.0 -> 1.6.0-alpha05]

The stableKeyword list looks like the non-stable ones? The docs has this function,

fun isNonStable(version: String): Boolean {
    val stableKeyword = listOf("RELEASE", "FINAL", "GA").any { version.toUpperCase().contains(it) }
    val regex = "^[0-9,.v-]+(-r)?$".toRegex()
    val isStable = stableKeyword || regex.matches(version)
    return isStable.not()
}
