ERROR whatBump is not a function

[chrisjbrown]

Describe the bug

I've tried using this package with all different settings. Including what is on the documentation page. But I always get this error.

ERROR whatBump is not a function

Seems like whatBump is a function in conventional-recommended-bump but that's about all I've been able to discern https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/tree/master/packages/conventional-recommended-bump#readme

Reproduction

No response

actually my minimal reproduction doesn't have the same issue... i'll try and compare and see what my project is doing differently. will re-open if I can isolate the issue

[chrisjbrown]

For anyone else who sees this error. For me the issue was somehow related to another dependency installing conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits version < 8. Event though both a 7.x and an 8.x version were installed the preset loader function was always selecting the 7.x version resulting in this error. I wasn't able to recreate the issue as the reproduction I made would choose the 8.x version.

Not sure what causes one version to be selected over another. Explicitly adding conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits@8.x within my projects dev dependencies has resolved the issue for me.
