[BUG] Cocogitto-action crash on cocogitto 5.6.0 config file

[cyboooooorg]

Hi everyone,

I installed cocogitto 5.6.0 and did a cog init in my project. Here the generated file :

from_latest_tag = false
ignore_merge_commits = false
generate_mono_repository_global_tag = true
branch_whitelist = []
skip_untracked = false
pre_bump_hooks = []
post_bump_hooks = []
pre_package_bump_hooks = []
post_package_bump_hooks = []

[git_hooks]

[commit_types]

[changelog]
path = "CHANGELOG.md"
authors = []

[bump_profiles]

[packages]

And now my github action is crashing with the following error:

Setting git user : cog-bot
Settings git user email cog@demo.org
Error: failed to parse config

    cause unknown field `skip_untracked`, expected one of `ignore_merge_commits`, `branch_whitelist`, `tag_prefix`, `pre_bump_hooks`, `post_bump_hooks`, `commit_types`, `changelog`, `bump_profiles`

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I suggest that cocogitto-action must ignore the new field or be updated to use cocogitto 5.6.0 😄

I'm experiencing the same error, it seems like the github action is not compatible with the v.5.6.0 config file, it does not recognize the majority of the configuration options from the docs

Hey, I will update the action to use the latest cocogitto version as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have also raised https://github.com/cocogitto/cocogitto-action/pull/15 as sanity check to see which version of cog is being run

[cyboooooorg]

I think the problem is already solved, i'm not sure but when i use cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3.5 and not the v3 it seems that works...

Here is my workflow.yml and my cog.toml:

@Cyboooooorg nice catch, I also noticed that the action v3.5 is using cog v5.4.0.

It's possible to use the @main tag for now to pick up the latest version of the action

i.e.

- name: check conventional commits
  uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@main
                                   ^^^^
