it would be nice to have GitHub releases with changelog. that way renovatebot can show recharged in upgrade PR body.

sample renovate PR

fluffynuts commented 2 years ago

NExpect does a lot of minor, incremental releases. Currently, tag & publish is automated (one npm command) - I wouldn't be adverse to, eg, a GitHub workflow like https://github.com/marketplace/actions/create-tag-release - however that one requires manually filling in the changelog. I'm open for ideas - a workflow should:

  1. be triggered on a tag being pushed
  2. create a release with the same name as the tag
  3. collate all git commit messages between this tag and the last one, stripping out any massages starting with :bookmark: (the tag commit) and probably stripping out any leading gitmoji? I'm not sure about the last bit as I'm not sure what difference that would make to renovatebot - perhaps they can be left in.

At any rate, the very last thing I want to do is add more friction to a release, most especially because I may do 5 or 10 releases in a day as I'm extending NExpect (or a periphery Matchers package) to support the work I'm currently doing. If there's an automated solution, I'm interested - and I'm asking for help to find one, since a cursory web search revealed the one above and it's incomplete for my requirements.

btw, whilst minor bumps have (perhaps) interesting commentary about added features and the odd fixed bug, the reason for the major version bump was because I dropped support for net452 as (a) it's about time and (b) it was making life difficult :D

let me try to compose some GitHub workflow for you.

when you crack it, please make it easily available for others - I'm sure this is not a unique problem (:
