I am attempting to update dependencies which are using constraints however the lookup is encoding the > symbol.

I have the following in my gemspec:

spec.add_dependency 'opentelemetry-api', '>= 1.7'
spec.add_dependency 'opentelemetry-common', '~> 0.21'

Reproduction repo is available at https://github.com/thompson-tomo/renovate-issues which shows the issue of text encoding.

Which is being detected using:

{
      customType: "regex",
      description: "Update dependencies in gemspecs",
      managerFilePatterns: ["**/*.gemspec"],
      matchStrings: [
        ".add_(?<depType>.*dependency)\\s'(?<packageName>.+?)',\\s'(?<depVersion>(?<matchType>\\S+)\\s[0-9.]+)'",
      ],
      datasourceTemplate: "rubygems",
      versioningTemplate: "ruby",
      currentValueTemplate: "{{depVersion}}",
      depTypeTemplate: "{{depType}}",
    }
