Pull Request workflow releases new version? #249

Closed MichielOda closed 10 months ago

MichielOda commented 1 year ago

With Dependabot I noticed that there was a new version for the 'Microsoft.Build.Locator'. As it jumped from 1.6.1 to 1.6.10, I was curious to why there are suddenly 9 new versions. To my surprise I didn't saw any of the other tags, let alone this new version. Then I saw that there was a pull request #248 that changed the version number. Apparently this is enough to run the full workflow and release new versions without any tagging?

That's not quite accurate. There's one new published version, which includes 9 commits. This repo uses https://github.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning to compute a version number based on "git height".

Then I saw that there was a pull request . . . Apparently this is enough to run the full workflow and release new versions without any tagging?

To be super clear this is not what is happening: creating a PR does not push a package anywhere.

Thanks for clarifying!

I assumed so, but couldn't see any tags or releases with 1.6.10, so wanted to be sure that this is a correct released version before updating.

Thanks for the quick response!
