Release version not correlated to previous Prerelease version

[bencat-sixense]

I have a gitflow as follow:

• PR merged on develop -> prerelease
• develop merged on main -> release

When I create the prerelease version, I get this tag: my-project-name-0.5.0-dev.1 So if I merge this develop into main, I expect to get this: my-project-name-0.5.0 But I get this: my-project-name-0.4.2 (the previous release was my-project-name-0.4.1)

Do I miss something or is it the right behavior ?

This is my current project.json config:

    "release": {
      "executor": "@jscutlery/semver:version",
      "options": {
        "noVerify": true,
        "postTargets": ["my-project-name:docker", "my-project-name:github"],
        "preset": "conventional",
        "push": true,
        "trackDeps": true
      }
    },
    "prerelease": {
      "executor": "@jscutlery/semver:version",
      "options": {
        "noVerify": true,
        "postTargets": ["my-project-name:docker"],
        "preset": "conventional",
        "push": true,
        "preid": "dev",
        "releaseAs": "prerelease",
        "trackDeps": true,
        "skipCommit": true
      }
    },

NOTE: I use the latest v5.1.1 with Nx 16 and Node 18

Thank you !

It's hard to know what's going on with git flow I cannot help you much but in your position I would look at the last generated tag and check if it's correctly pointing to your main branch, semver uses the last tag to calculate the next version.

@edbzn I have a similar issue but it is not related to gitflow. you could check it out #817
