ci(release): fixing remaining issues & finalizing in pipeline

Djaytan commented 7 months ago

The primary goal of this change is to make semantic releasing process working once and for all!

The remaining observed issue was the following one when executing the command git commit --message='docs(changelog): release v3.0.3' "${CHANGELOG_FILE}":

error: pathspec '/home/runner/work/mc-jobs-reborn-patch-place-break/mc-jobs-reborn-patch-place-break/docs/CHANGELOG.md' did not match any file(s) known to git

Which gets solved by executing this command before committing:

git add "${CHANGELOG_FILE}"

Tests outcomes in an ad-hoc repository can be found:

Successful release workflow: https://github.com/Djaytan/semantic-release-experimentations/actions/runs/7921110356
Created GitHub release containing both the artifact & the associated signature files: https://github.com/Djaytan/semantic-release-experimentations/releases/tag/v1.10.0
The opened PR for updating the existing CHANGELOG.md file: https://github.com/Djaytan/semantic-release-experimentations/pull/4

Meaning that everything seems good now, and providing us enough confidence concerning the merging outcomes of this change!

Opportunities to finalize the setup has been taken as well:

Each provided GitHub permission is now justified by a comment
The semantic-release-github-pullrequest dependency has been cleaned-up from the package.json file and its package-lock.json one
The --ci argument has been removed when dispatching the semantic-release command since that's already the default command behavior
Documenting the hack implemented with the temporary file for retrieving the release version tag name after the semantic-release command successful execution
The semantic-release config (i.e. release.config.js file) has been simplified:
- Getting rid of the releaseRules property in order to follow standards (i.e. bumping version only for fix, feat and BREAKING CHANGE types)
- Documenting where Conventional Changelog config specifications can be found for later references
- Making most of the properties as global ones for improving readability
- Removing the asset label "Spigot plugin for Minecraft servers" since I prefer having the raw file naming being displayed in the GitHub release instead
- Relying on the default value of the releasedLabels property (hence the removal from the config)
