No CHANGELOG.md in repo #22

Closed steffengrahl closed 2 years ago

steffengrahl commented 3 years ago

Action ends with

Done!
Generated log placed in /github/workspace/CHANGELOG.md

But no CHANGELOG.md is generated

Same behavior for me

Anyone know where the changelog is?

It looks like the action doesn't commit the log, only generates it. So you'll need to combine it with a commit action at the bare minimum. Here is a nice blog post that should help anyone else confused on this.

can't we just use /github/workspace/CHANGELOG.md directly without commit?

zillionare commented 3 years ago

the output says the CHANGELOG.md is under /github/workspace/, however it's actually under current src dir (with other files that checked out, built), so we can use it directly with './CHANGELOG.md'

just my 2 cents

As @nrdxp says, the action only creates the file. You can do whatever you want with that file in your workflows, e.g., commit it back to the original repo.
